Foregrounded Irregularities in T.S. Eliot's The Hollow Men.

Poetic language as quite a discrete account of expression has been an old-age topic of debate and investigation. Most of the discussion in this field is carried out by literary critics. Literary stylistics, as it is thought to be a science, unlike conventional literary theory, studies the language of literature through maximally objective and non-intuitive standpoint. This approach employs the methodology of linguistics while analyzing and interpreting a piece of literature. This is a scientific study of style. This paper focuses on the semantic and graphological deviations in the language of TS Eliot's poem The Hollow Men. Eliot's poetic art is much striking and fascinating, particularly in foregrounding. He deliberately omits punctuation marks, uses interesting parallel structures, makes use of semantically unconventional expressions, and some graphological pattern of irregularities. The researchers have tried to show all this Foregrounding by picking up some irregularities of Eliot's poetic expression, hence tried to look at the poem through a literary stylistic perspective.
