The poetic language of war poetry between pre-Islamic times and early Islam

Abstract

As is known, poetry is primarily a linguistic activity as a tool for the word. Therefore, the essence and secret of poetry lies in the language, which constitutes a repository of structures, ideas, and connotations according to the sciences that form that language, such as grammar, morphology, rhetoric, and others. Thus, poetry is nothing but the poet’s experience through revealing his emotions, ideas, and feelings. This is what language conveys in terms of forming the poetic world of the poet. The poetic language in poetry depends on an imaginative creation that arises from the blending of the subjective experience of the individual human being and his being a social human being connected to society as one of its sons. Poetry, as is commonly known, is a group of artistic levels that produce the final image. Therefore, we have explained war poetry through poetic language by way of the lexical level and the semantic level and on the diversity of dictionaries and linguistic concerns
