Structural Deviation in Al-Khansa's Elegies to Her Brother Sakhr a Stylistic Study of Linguistic Aesthetics

Abstract

This article aims to investigate the grammatical deviation in the Al-Khansa's elegies to her brother, Sakhr, as a dominant stylistic feature that often characterizes poetic writing to which the poet resorts in order to produce poetic meanings other than those provoked by standard grammatical rules. And thus it enables her to form a purposful meaning to the recipient, or to harness his conscience. This is because those elegies reflect a true personal poetic and emotional experience according to literarure about Al-Khansa and her elegies. For that reason, the main focus of this study was to elucidate the effect of this type of deviation on generating the connotations of lamentation the poet expresses to the mind of the recipient. In addition, it explores the level of deviation that contributes to conveying her grief due to the loss of her brother, Sakhr, to others. It has become clear to us through the models of structural deviation in the elegies of Al-Khansa about her brother Sakhr, and from the analysis of these models; This stylistic feature (synthetic deviation) appeared in all its forms in al-Khansa's elegies about her brother Sakhr. And each of these types had its impact and role in empowering the meaning of lamentation in the place and in the context in which it occurred in the spirit of the recipient of the poetry. This effect and role depends very much on the role of the poetry recipient himself in revealing and accessing this effect, and his sense of structural deviation. As a special creativity in the text that he receives.
