Adjectival adjuncts are one of the linguistic tools and markers in language that allow certain descriptors to be added as adjuncts to the head of a noun phrase . In rhetoric, the repetition and sequence of adjectives within a phrase create an artistic and literary industry known as "adjective sequences" or sometimes "coordination of adjectives." Adjective sequences are considered an artificial construct in rhetoric, and there are two completely different and opposing perspectives among rhetoricians: some consider it a deviation from eloquence, while others see it as part of innovative rhetoric . Both groups have only regarded the status and function of this linguistic tool to the extent mentioned, without paying attention to its formal function in the structure and quality of the poetic imagery of poets, as well as its role in distinguishing the poetic style of different poets. Therefore, this research aims to investigate the impact of adjectival sequences on shaping the poetic imagery of three prominent contemporary Iranian poets (Akhavan Sales , Sepheri, and Shamloo) and whether the poetic imagery resulting from the repetition and sequence of this linguistic marker has led to the differentiation and identification of the poets' (style) voices. Based on this premise, this article extracts the generated poetic imagery based on the repetition from the poetry collections of the mentioned poets and examines the structural aspects (1.
