The recipient and its impact on the production of meaning

Abstract

       The purpose of this research is to identify the mechanisms by which the recipient influences the production of meaning, and to study, analyze, and explain their impact. The poet believes in the existence of a relationship between the poetic text and the recipient. The poet intends to seize the central characteristics of the recipient (the praised one) and bring them out in a striking way. Because it moves the connotations of words from superficial to deep, which would contribute to drawing attention and achieving goals. I followed the descriptive approach, as I chose verses that were distinguished from others by showing the recipient’s impact on the meaning, and I studied and analyzed them and demonstrated the methods in them that the poet made a guide to his creativity and to show the recipient’s influence in discovering hidden meanings. Therefore, the praised recipient is considered “a pressing force that dominates the reader’s sensitivity and perception.” The emergence of a relationship between the poet and the recipient of his poetry expresses the impact of the text on the psychology of the recipient And on his conscience and its echo in the areas of his feelings. The poet’s feeling and the recipient’s taste are among the sources of the rhythm of the text, and this relationship between the creator and the recipient embodies the principle of the text’s influence and the reader’s influence by it. The literary text is considered incomplete, as it needs the reader in order to complete it. Its completion depends on the recipient and his abilities, to contribute to The completion of the creativity of the text, and the relationship between the poet and the recipient is interspersed with a set of concepts that each of them focuses on, the most important of which are: the goal: through which he seeks some purpose, whether this purpose is on the personal level or the general level, and the means: which carries influential loads that the poet sought to deposit in his text. The goal: the pursuit of gains. The conclusion of my research is that it consisted of an introduction and three topics: (Praise, Ghazal, and Satire). The research included a comprehensive explanation of the influence of the recipient on the text, and an analysis of the poetry of some Abbasid poets in the book(Abbasid PoetsDr.. Younis Ahmed Al-Samarrai).The research concluded with a conclusion that included the results I reached in my research, and a list of sources and references that I relied on in writing the research.
