تعالُق اللغة والصوت والدلالة في ديوان (مطر سري) لزهير أبو شايب

Abstract

The study aims to examine the phenomena of rhythm within the collection Matar Serri (Secret Rain) by the Palestinian poet Zuhair Abu Shayib. The rhythm in question is that which belongs to harmony and uniformity, yet can be found as well in discord and dissimilarity. It was rather understood that in this study he depends on the internal rhythm, which is composed of following the steadiness of linguistic relations and structures, the indicative relations, the visual form and the emotional state emerging from the poetic stance and sentimental experience, producing an internal rhythm which contributes to the construction of the work of art. The audience attempts to enter into the poem’s world, to come to know its external and internal rhythmic secrets and to understand how the rhythm works through the principle of differentiation, repetition and harmony, which inspires the audience either to accept it or reject it.The researcher also adopted stylistics. He examined the texts, breaking them down and extracting their external and internal rhythmic values and defining the principal features with which the poet set himself apart. He summoned a descriptive and analytical approach, describing the rhythmic phenomena and then analyzing them, in order to limit the variables of rhythmic composition and their role in the artistic construction.

The research was based on the phenomenon of sonic rhythms, and its most important representations: the rhythms of sound, pronunciation, sentences, phrases and parallelism, including uniformity, similarity, or dissimilarity.
