Abstract

Parallelism is one of the most conspicuous stylistic techniques that are marked by the receiver's ear, and it also has an excellent musical rhythm. Al-Ahwas[1] thoroughly familiarizes readers with an entire host of parallelistic arrangements in his poetry, which makes the semantic units a rich material for the aesthetic study. The present study presents the most beautiful uses of all varieties of parallelism in a corpus of Al-Ahwas's poetry, as the reader of his poetry would never miss observing the many images of parallelism based on semantic concordance, as well as the parallelism that appears in one line, or in a stanza, based on structural concordance, in addition to the parallelism formed by the morphological rhythm which is based on the repetition of a morphological derivative formulae. Al-Ahwas did not suffice himself with the similar morphological formulae to achieve rhythm, but he also aimed at the parallelism achieved by repetition, which falls into several patterns. They can be included in one verse line, or within a number lines conforming to one idea, but with different contexts. The second pattern of repetition in terms of rhythm and structure is Epanaphora, or Epanalepsis: which is a repetitive structure based on inserting a word at the beginning of the speech and then repeating the same word at the end of the speech. Al-Ahwas achieved a high rhythmical harmony using parallelism besides a semantic goal by deliberately intensifying parallel words and functioning units in a network revolving around the dominant idea. This study hopes to pave the way for future avenues of studies in poetry under the category of stylistics.Keywords: Parallelism, stylistics, Al-Ahwas’s poetry [1]. The poet Al-Ahwas Al-Ansari. He is Abdullah bin Mohammed bin Abdullah bin Asim bin Thabit al-Ansari, one of the Umayyad poets, died in Damascus in 105 AH / 723 AD. He was called Al-Ahwas for a tightness in his eye. He is an Islamic satire poet.

Summary

Introduction

Parallelism is one of the most distinctive stylistic techniques that are marked by the receiver's ear, and it has an excellent musical rhythm. The parallelism in critical studies (Muftah, 1999; Thamer, 1987; Rawashdeh, 1998, David, 2006) is a concept which is summarized by observing the linguistic structures that have equivalent relations based on the principle of the equitable linguistics in the compounding structure of synthetic-based duo authoring that creates a kind of linguistic parallel geometric distribution among the elements of the structure that shows samples of duplication and concordance (see AlWali, and Hanoon, 988) It combines between rhetorical morphology in compositions and the principle of parallelism because the work of these forms is closely related to the structural coherence and interference level. It is mentioned in the philosophical dictionary: it is vividly shown that parallelism term has two meanings, a linguistic meaning and a
