| Summary: | One of the features of modern art, especially poetry, is the focus on semantic meanings and ambiguity, and one of the most important ambiguity tools is using the words’ polysemy capacity. In art, polysemy consists of some rhetorical and literary techniques of classic and modern literature such as metaphor, trope, irony, symbol and amphibology. The quantitative and also qualitative study of how to apply these elements have a major role in determining the poet's authentic style to create ambiguity. Thus, the researchers of this article – acknowledging that Forugh Farokhzad is one of the distinguished apprentices of Nima Youshij's doctrine in the modernization area in whose poetry many modern art features can be found – have tried to explain her poetry style with a stylistic approach, based on two of her poetry collections, namely Another Birth and Let’s Believe in the Cold Season. This study focuses on her use of polysemy elements, explaining the level of application of these elements to create ambiguity in her poetry. |
