عودة البلاغة إلى نبعها: توظيف الجناس في شعر سميح القاسم

Abstract

Paranomasia is a stylistic feature that characterizes Samīḥ al-Qāsim’s poetry,
where it has functions that go beyond those which it had in ancient Arabic
poetry. Language in itself becomes an existential pointer to the poet and his
textual as well as extra-textual message. In this paper we undertake a textual
analysis in which we investigate the use paranomasia by Samīḥ al-Qāsim. The
reader of al-Qāsim’s poetry can distinguish three main forms in which
paranomasia is used, from the perspective of its quantitative and semantic
presence: Partial, interim and complete. This presence is characterized by spiral
accumulation, by which I mean that the relationship between al-Qāsim’s use of
paranomasia is proportional to his poetic experience.
