We consider the possibility of extracting the structure functions of the pion and rho meson from the process of deep-inelastic lepton-proton scattering with a low-energy nucleon detected in the final state. The allowed kinematic region in Q/sup 2/ and in the momentum transferred to the hadron, corresponding to deep-inelastic scattering by virtual ..pi.. and rho mesons, is determined. Since information on the structure functions F/sub 1,2/(x/ of the nucleon can apparently be extracted from experimental data also in the region where scaling is violated (Volkonskii and Prokhorov, 1975) (Q/sup 2/=0.1--1.5 GeV/sup 2/), it is indicated that such an extension of the allowed region can yield reasonable statistics for events that contain information on the structure functions of the pion.
