Phonetic displacement and its aesthetic and semantic impact on classical poetry through the collection of poems by Mustafa bin Zakri

Abstract

Arabic texts in general, and poetry in particular, are replete with images of displacement, as they produce various linguistic uses that provide an outlet for intense emotions. The phenomenon of displacement is one of the most important aesthetic phenomena of interest to modern stylistic studies. There is no doubt that Mustafa Ibn Zakri had the audacity to break through linguistic patterns and depart from convention, seeking to excite the reader and surprise them with what they did not expect. In this study, I will examine some of the instances in which the poet departed from the norms and patterns of the language. The focus was on phonetic phenomena, as they are the most important axes of linguistic studies. Hence, the research is titled "Phonetic Displacement and Its Aesthetic Effect on Classical Poetry Through the Diwan of Mustafa Ibn Zakri."
