Language and formulation in Darwish's Jidarriyah, which was
published in 1990, are discussed in this study by exploring the
phenomena of linguistics and formulation, such as, intertextuality,
symbolism, mythology, poetic imagery and repetition. Th
is study also
takes into consideration that art work is an artistic perception of reality
and that the relationship between art and reality is qualitative.
In The Jidarnyah, language is discussed thoroughly, and a lot of
questions are raised; Language is the only realm left for the poet to reign.
Darwish's use of language is always ahead of its time and regenerated. It
holds within it the traditional and creates modern figures of speech which
amaze the reader.
Darwish is also able to imply new interpretations of words.
Moreover, Poetic symbolism is strongly illustrated in the poetic
experience. Darwish formed the poem by using symbols which unite and
emphasize the theme, pulling the joints of the poem together and creating
a fundamental reference to read.
Darwish also used various elements in order to create imageries,
which hold emotional and intellectual realms at a moment. Redundancy
was used to emphasize the dominating idea and create a rhythmic
balance.
