Abstract
Russain Formalisam emerged in Russia in 1910 and remained active for only twenty years. Russian Formalists laid emphasis on the functional role of important literary devices. They advocated scientific method for studying poetic language. The Russian formalists described general characteristics of literary language and tried to analyze the specific devices within the text used in the language. They introduced the term defamiliarization which became a key concept for Russian Formalism. Russian Formalists advocated that literature should be studied on scientific bases through objective analysis of the motives, devices, techniques and other important functions that comprise literary work.
