A Stylistic Analysis of Abu Tammam's Poem "Aya Wayla al-Shaji min al-Khali"

This research undertakes a stylistic study of Abu Tammam's poem "Aya Wayl al-Shajiyy min al-Khaliyy," seeking to reveal the aesthetic and semantic characteristics that distinguish the stylistic structure of his poetry. The study adopted the stylistic approach as a theoretical and analytical framework for examining the poetic text through its phonetic, syntactic, semantic, and rhetorical levels, based on a perspective that views language as a tool for generating both meaning and emotion. The research consists of two main sections: the first addresses the theoretical framework, including the definition of stylistics, its origins, methods, and trends, alongside a biographical overview of the poet Abu Tammam and the context of his poetic experience. The second section is dedicated to the applied analysis of stylistic levels in the poem, highlighting phonetic rhythm, grammatical structures, semantic fields, and rhetorical imagery. The study revealed that Abu Tammam is a creator of a distinctive style that combines intellect and emotion, and that phonetic rhythm and syntactic structure perform a semantic function reflecting emotional tension, while lexical fields harmonize with cultural intertextuality to enrich meaning. The research concluded that his poetry represents a qualitative shift in Arabic poetic language, integrating music with thought and imagery with vision, calling for expanded stylistic studies linked to contemporary linguistic and aesthetic approaches.
