A Brief Analysis of E.E.Cummings’s Peculiar Language in His Poems Abstract: As a modernist and avant-garde artist and poet, E.E.Cummings boldly experimented with poetic forms and language, forming a unique style of his own. To understand him, the analysis of his language techniques is very important. Therefore, this paper gives focus on the analysis of his language techniques in terms of morphology, word-class and punctuation. In respect of morphology, Cummings’s exploration of the most potential possibilities of the morphemic structures of words is discussed, such as the unusual combination of words, the split-up of one word into several parts, or the free addition of derivational affixes to create new words. Cummings brought novelty to his audience and gave some words nonce-meanings in certain contexts by deliberately changing the established parts of speech. In punctuation, his favourite parenthesis and the use of period are discussed. Cummings has rendered them special functions, such as rhetorical, rhythmical and psychological effects.
