Some of Cohesion tools in Al-Maari poetry (ghair mojden)

Abstract

Drawing on modern revolutioning critical studies, the focus of this paper is on the cohesion characteristic in the poetic structure of Abi Al-Alla Al-Maari’s “Al-Naseem” poem. More specifically, this study examines the extent of efficacy of such means by discussing the concept of “cohesion”, its linguistic means, its applications and its representation in the general casting structure of this poem. The study illustrates the coordination link between the thought of Al-Maari and its life and existence aproach, and between the textual, grammatical and narrative structure. Eventually, the paper makes a case for Maari’s ability to communicate his human message to his recipients through this poem, whereby the poet provided the lamentation of Abu Hamza al-Faqih. He lamented all of humanity, but rather the whole of life.
