Abstract
Although Akhavan Sales, one of the great contemporary poets, is known as a modernist poet;many parts of his Divan contain different forms of traditional poems. In this paper the language style of Akhavan`s 32 odes are considered to show that how much he is loyal to the rules of ancient language in this traditional form , how much he has used his own competence and what is his reason for using a special language. For this purpose the language of Akhavan`s odes are considered from both vocabulary and syntax aspects; and their ancient elements are extracted by comparing them with the poems of the past poets specially the poets of Khorasan. Findings show that although Akhavan is emotionally attached to ancient Persian language specially the language of Khorasan poets and uses many of this language features particularly those pertaining to syntax, but from the aspect of vocabulary his language doesn`t only remain in the zone of ancient language. He uses many words of that ancient one and he also uses innovative words and increases the wealth of the language.
