Abstract:

The topic of stylistics in linguistics has been of interest for linguists for many years; it’s a new science that emerged in the 19th century. It is basically the scientific study of a particular style that exhibits its unique characteristics and distinctive features. The current study examines the syntactic structures and their occurrence in Nizār Qabbānī's Poetic Collection Yawmiyyāt Imraʼa Lā Mubāliya. The occurrence of verbs and nouns is examined and analyzed closely and thoroughly. The time-related properties of the verbs are pointed out, and their contribution to the significance of the meaning is examined. The study aims to answer specific stylistic questions through a rigorous analysis of a selected literary work by establishing a connection between the occurrence of the verb tenses and the nouns in the collection and their relation to serving the significance and pointing out the theme of the poetic collection. Throughout the research, nouns and verbs will be identified and analyzed in each and every poem of the poetic collection. Literature review and referential language sources will be consulted to point out their characteristics and significance. The study is a combination of literary work analysis and a scientific approach to understanding the significance and the message of that work as a whole. The poetic collection, which in fact constitutes a foundation stone for the study is analyzed syntactically in terms of its structures and discourse. We observed that the ratio of verbs to nouns is (38.2%), and we believe that the presence of verbs in this percentage is due to nature of this poetic collection which is revolutionary in most of its poems. The rejection of social norms that rendered the man an authoritarian status and the aspiration for an extensive change is expressed through the use of dynamic verbs rather than static nouns. We were also able to notice that the rise in the verb-count is directly related to how challenging it is to create change within a deeply-entrenched and old-fashioned social fabric. The study attempts to point out the connection between the syntactic structures used in the literary work and the society and time period where and when the work was generated, and to find the linguistic, philosophical and social significance of the occurrence of the present poetic collection that is used as a model.
