Read More The descriptive method is one of the scientific methods in research and it is based on the following systematic stages in survey of phenomena and issues and it is one of the scientific thinking patterns and one of the functioning manners adopted for the organization of scientific work, research and analysis for achieving the ideal goals of the research and differs from other methods in tracing the studied phenomenon with reference to information related to that phenomenon , in a certain or different time periods, to review it from various dimensions and its changes in order to guarantee accessing objective results.The methodological chnages that were used in the modern linguistic studies of twentieth century played an important role in reviewing and revising the method of Arabic grammar, As a result the descriptive method comes out. This method attacked the prescriptive method which was based on the evidences of mental and logical reasoning, appreciation and interpretation , and the some researches appeared which aimed at what was called evalutation of grammar thought, or criticism , or guidance of it, or interpretation of it. Sibewaih’ s Alkitab is the most significant work that's available. And despite the large number of explanations and interpretations on it, it remains as an impotant source of research and study. This article tries to highlight the position of descriptive research in syntactic heritage of Arabic language through doing research on rooting for the term of pendant and its synonyms in the linguistic heritage, especially in the Sibewaih’ s Alkitab. Additionally it tries to reveal different dimensions of the theory of pendant and its impact on the liguistic analysis, because Sibewaih had established the basic principles preludes of descriptive method by setting up the theory of perfect linguistic. His book is considered as the source of descriptive method among Arabs. Because the writer ponders on y the phenomena of language a lot and describes their realities, and considered their secrets and analyzed their structure to achieve the rules that are very developed. The study reached at this conclusion that hassan served legacy which is revealed by inspiration of by Arab heritage and revising the idea of combination of pendants addressed by ancient scientists and sibewaih as a pioneer of them.

Read More In spite of brilliant thoughts and ration-oriented manners in Shia discourse, during the history and in practice, Shia has always been looked down upon by its rivals; thus, at times by the establishment of superstitious and deviant ideologies seeking the distortion of Shia reputation and also by the manipulation of some deviant ideological groups such as exaggeraters (Ghulūt), despising Shia and its ideas. Shawqi Dhaif in his books has utilized the term “exaggeration” about most of the poets of Abbasian era, and calls them exaggerators. The present study, in reference to dictionaries and other resources, and by presenting various definitions, attempts to illuminate the meaning of the term “exaggeration” from Dhaif’s point of view; therefore basically clarifying what meaning he has been seeking by “exaggeration” as an analysis on most of the poets of the era. The present study by the account of text analysis approach and through a descriptive-analytic method has made an effort to extract the meaning of the term “exaggeration” among his writings and to put them under scrutiny and inspection. The statistical population of this research includes a series of books on the history of Arabs Literature and the book "al-fan wa Maḍᾱhibuhū fi al-shiʿr al-aʿrabi". Firstly, all Shiite poets have been identified, then biographies and comments about them have been carefully studied. This study included all the items that Shawqi Dhaif used the term exaggeration for a poet with a witness in the text of the article, and brought some examples of poems that he regards them as poems include exaggeration. The results of the study suggest that among different meanings of exaggeration, Dhaif has taken that respect of exaggeration into consideration in which the meaning is more concerned with hatred an overthrow towards Sunni Caliphs and this is the same meaning Ibn Abdi Rabah and Ibn Khaldun have already pointed out.

The Practical Intertextuality of Qur'an in Contemporary Arab Poetry (The Case Study: Poems by Mohammad Qaisi)

Volume 10, Issue 1 , June 2018, , Pages 55-72

Read More Intertextuality is a technique which has widely been used in contemporary Arabic poetry. According to the mentioned application and its high importance, critics have developed various definitions about it. Looking at the definitions of this concept by Western critics such as Roland Barth and Julia Kristeva, and Arab critics such as Abd al-Malik Murtāḍ, mohammad azzam, mohammad meftah, Abdollah al- ghathami and khalil mossa. we can say that they considered the concept as a methodological and structural phenomenon. However, this phenomenon has a practical function in the target text in contemporary Arabic poetry, in addition to its structural function. Therefore, the authors of this study, have sought to emphasize the practicality of intertextuality-rather than only seeing its structural role- by studying Qur’anic intertextuality in Mohammad Qaisi’s poems using a descriptive-analytic method. It is concluded from the findings of the research that the poet used the Qur’anic words or verses consciously as a means of referring the reader to the text of the Quran and subsequently confirming his own claims. Thus, by reversing the relationship and using the Qur’anic verses in a contradictory sense, such as the use of images showing hope within an atmosphere of frustration and despair, he illustrates the depth of the disaster. On the other hand, using the verses which represent the awakening, the warning and the condemnation of the oppressors and the unbelievers, he tries to wake up the Palestinians and other Arab nations, describing their enemies and condemning them. So it can be said that the poet has used the intertextuality technique in four main directions: creating a revers relationship and using Qur’anic images in a contradictory sense, using Qur’anic images expressing dead incitation, using Qur’anic images to describe the oppressors and unbelievers, and using Quarn’aic images which reflect awakening and preaching to arouse the Palestinian nation and other Arab nations.

Discourse Analysis of the Tenth Letter of Nahj al-Balagha Based on Norman Fairclough’s Pattern

Read More Critical discourse analysis, as a modern interdisciplinary approach, attempts to read the text beyond words, sentences, and the text itself. It deems the context necessary to understand the semantics of a text from a critical point of view. Its aim is to clarify the structures of power, domination, and political, social, and cultural inequalities. These structures are criticized through rhetoric, syntax, pragmatics, and intertextuality. This paper adopts a descriptive-analytical method to examine the tenth letter of Nahj al-Balagha,which is addressed to Muawiyah, based on Norman Fairclough’s critical discourse pattern. This model, theorized in the book Language and Power, redefines asymmetrical social relations. It considers three layers for discourse analysis: description, interpretation, and explanation. In Fairclough’s opinion, the social action is shaped by the interaction of these layers. This essay, on the layer of description, studies the text from a formalistic point of view. On the layer of interpretation, it deals with the interaction of text and its context, and explores the elements of power and ideology. It is noteworthy that these elements are reflected in the use of pronouns. The pronoun I, for instance, indicates professional and social responsibility while the pronoun you indicates the differences between Imam Ali’s personality and that of his counterparts, namely the Umayyads. The letter mentions the same motives that troubled the Islamic society from the first battle to the Battle of Siffin. Critical discourse analysis reveals the ideological differences between Imam Ali and the Umayyads reflected in its use of elements such as metaphors and pronouns. Furthermore, the article tries to demonstrate that in this letter, the purpose of Imam Ali as the religious and legitimate ruler of the Islamic world was to disrupt the domination and inequality in the structure of tribalism of the Umayyad Caliphate, for otherwise Muslims would face grave difficulties.

Syntactic and Rhetorical Deviation in Badr Shakir al-Sayyab’s Poetry

Read More Syntactic deviation is one of the techniques employed to enhance a literary text, because it derives from the poet’s intentional non-compliance with morphological or syntactic rules to achieve certain goals. Using this technique leads to eloquence of language so that it directs the reader’s attention to the text. Contemporary poets attempt to use this technique in their poetry to inspire the reader with new feelings and, disturbing the usual order of objects, they try to represent them in a brand new way. In this way, the modern Iraqi poet, Badr Shakir al-Sayyab—to whose literary genius contemporary Arabic poetry owes much—has devoted himself to the development of his poetic language and has evoked the reader’s contemplation on his poetry. In some cases, he offers a different language by breaking the norms and moving away from the prevailing principles of poetry. Under the influence of Western culture and literature, he had a critical look at the heritage of Arabic poetry and made a significant contribution to the development of Arabic poetic language. This research tries to examine the syntactic and rhetorical deviations of Sayab’s poems in a descriptive-analytical manner in order to elicit his techniques of defamiliarization and make the reader focus on the poet’s main intention and the hidden layers of his work. The results of the research demonstrate that hyperbaton, omission of letters and the use of new ones, conjunction and separation of words, and using far-fetched words are the most frequent examples of syntactic and rhetorical deviations in Sayyab’s poetry. Therefore, using such techniques, Sayyab gives his poetry a distinctive character so that the reader’s difficulty understanding his new form of expression and their sensual perception time are increased. The research also argues that the syntactic and rhetorical deviation is one of the aesthetic and stylistic qualities of all the free-verse poems of Sayyab.

Read More Research "Semantics of Place in the play of “kharej-al-serb”by Mohammed Al-magout" Using a descriptive-analytic method based on Farzan Sujoudi's theory, he has studied the layered element of the place and has examined how it is related to other symbolic levels. The semantic analysis of the place in the play is important in that respect that Based on this method one can examine the explicit and implicit function of the place element in identifying the hidden talents of the text and the secondary concepts related to the cultural, political and economic values of society. In addition, by presenting a new reading of the literary work, he expressed the influence of this element in explaining the possibilities of textual creation and by examining how it relates to other levels, it has played a role in shaping dramatic discourse. The purpose of this study is to explain the most important Symptoms of place and how they are organized, Describe the function of the cues mentioned in the formation of text encryption systems such as scene, personality, conflict and time. On the other hand, the impact of this system in place of the representations is described. The purpose of this study is to answer the following questions: How has the place code been linked to other markup levels? What characteristic and structural components do these passwords have in the aforementioned play? The results of this research indicate the place is formed in the form of a cryptocurrency layer consisting of numerous surfaces and deep-level structures. This layer contributes objectively and abstractly to the creation of dramatic discourse and the representation of social cultural meanings, sometimes it manifests physically on stage, sometimes its objective function is weakened and its mental aspects is enhanced. It can be said that understanding and interpreting space as a semiotic process is possible by studying how it correlates and interacts with the branding layers in the play. There is interplay between location and other layers. On the one hand, Place explicitly and implicitly promotes surfaces such as decor, light, sound, and so on. On the other hand, those levels have a great impact on the organization and selection of Place components.

Read More Style, in a general lexical sense, refers to the system and rules for expression in a specific literary genre. Literary style is a set of rules and standards that are distinguished by a literary character and that distinguish a literary text (poetry or prose) from other texts. A stylistic study is a systematic study of the structural elements and the way of formulating them to express the ideology of the literary text. Rashid Salim al-Khouri, known as Shair al-Qarawi, is one of the most prominent poets of the Mahjar — a literary movement started by Arabic writers who had emigrated to America at the turn of the twentieth century. His literary style is distinguished by the characteristics of migrant literature and this is clearly reflected in his poetry collection titled Homeland Poems. This paper employs a descriptive-analytical method to study the literary style in al-Khouri’s Homeland Poems; it analyzes different structures in his poetry, such as the lexical structure at its morphological, syntactic, and lexical levels, the musical structure at its internal and external levels, the rhetorical structure with its expressive capacities, and the semantic structure. The results express that Homeland Poems is characterized by employing a deviant style in the superstructures and substructures, and this is the result of the poet’s creative ability. These deviation can be seen in different lexical, semantic, rhetorical, and musical layers of his poetry. Lexical and semantic deviations include employing statements that suggest new meanings to serve the intended purpose musically and semantically. Rhetorical deviations include the use of simile and metaphor to do without traditional images and create new poetic images. Musical deviations include the liberation of the music from the traditional constraints with the re-experience of Andalusian poetry, and the change in the number of poetic syllables that leads to various poetic rythems.
