Abstract
The category of norm-avoidance, which is considered one of the innovations of Russian structuralists, is closely related and unbreakable with the concepts of defamiliarization and highlighting, so that sometimes one is used instead of the other. . English linguist Leach has classified it into eight categories: lexical, syntactic, phonetic, written, dialectal, stylistic, temporal and semantic. Deviation from normal language acquires literary value when it evokes a new meaning. One of the most widely used types of norm avoidance is the type of meaning that has encouraged more artists to experiment in this literary field due to the flexibility of the meaning. Metaphor, simile, permissiveness, sensuality, contradiction, etc. are among the most important types of semantic norm avoidance. In the religious literature for children and teenagers, this outward performance, along with the transmission of high and revelatory themes, is an opportunity for the mental growth of the audience to increase the circle of literary words and to walk the path of servitude in their own minds. The purpose of this descriptive-analytical research is to present the author’s mechanisms in creating literary arrays that cause the teenage audience to stop reading in order to make him go through thoughts embellished with passages from the life of Imam Ali bin Musa. Al-Reza as a guest and institutionalized important religious-moral values in his existence.
