Poetry of semantic phenomena in the Maqamat of Badi’ Al-Zaman Al-Hamadhi

Abstract

Significance is considered an effective and central element in the formulation of poetry, since it is the tributary from which poetry derives its existence as an art, so the value of poetry or prose does not lie in its texts alone as much as it relates to the degree of its compatibility with the data of aesthetic communication. We have relied in this study on the analytical method, and our tools of analysis, interpretation, and comparison, and several poetic phenomena have been demonstrated in the texts of the maqamat, including: - Poetic parallel semantic parallel as it represents a phenomenon of poetic values that embodied the technical and semantic structure of the shrines. Including the poetry of juxtaposition, the existence of which brought about solidarity with other hegemons in the text of the shrines, as well as the poetry of anecdotal news, because the news is one of the most prominent Arab narrative forms.
