The Aesthetics of the Poetic Language in the Anthology “Its Flavour is Giger” by Fawwaz Alla’boon

Abstract

This study examines the anthology “Its Flavour is Giger” by Fawwaz Alla’boon in order to identify the aesthetics of the poetic language, its features and its ability to achieve the aesthetics in the language of the anthology. Towards this aim, this study adopts the descriptive analytical approach.

The study approaches the aesthetics of the poetic language in styles and structures in terms of elision, forwarding, backwarding, and some other composition styles where speech shifts from the truth to the linguistic metaphor.  In addition, the aesthetics of figurative language in simile, metaphor, and metonymy has been highlighted.  Moreover, the study points out the aesthetics of the internal rhythmic language represented in the phenomena of alliteration and repetition.  The study also illustrates the aesthetics of language in intertextuality with the Holy Quranic text and literary text.

Those linguistic phenomena were a clear feature in the poetry of Alla’boon in the blog selected for the current study and a prominent linguistic sign that enhances the beauty of his poetic language to such a degree that distinguishes it from the language of prose.
