This paper entitled 'Poetic Violence on
Practical Language' attempts to analyze the kind of
language employed in the poetry in relation to the
practical language which serves the purpose of day to
day communication. Main focus is laid upon the issue of
how the poetic language most often defies the norms and
rules of the ordinary (practical) language variety. The
everyday communicative speech has to bear the regular
violence on the part of poetic language. The study
attempts to follow the qualitative research design which
involves collecting non-numerical data especially the
literary text or discourse for analytical and
interpretative purpose. After the related data have
collected, the linguistic or more specifically the stylistic
theory is applied to analyze compare and interpret the
collected data. The findings of this study are that the
basic linguistic aspects: foregrounding, musicality, and
metaphorical expression are determinant to differentiate
poetic writing from the rest writings. Fundamentally,
there are three key points: sound pattern, word
order/arrangement and the meaning system (semantics)
which are inherent features in the poetry and they
depart from the mode of practical language variety. The
individuals who are interested in having the insight into
the linguistic features of the poetic language structure,
they can be benefited from this article. Moreover,
language teachers, students and linguists may get help to
some extent from this study.
