The Semiology of the Title in the Diwan (Al-Jadawil) by the Poet Elia Abu Madi

Abstract

Semiotics is an important field of knowledge and a window open to many rays of meaning and flashes of signs. It operates and interacts between the messages of the text and the responses of the recipient, as well as between the condensation of the former and the analysis and interpretation of the latter. Since the title appears at the beginning of the text and serves as its first ambassador to those who pass by its borders, it is natural for it to be at the forefront of the thresholds that semiotics traverses to explore its depths and decode its signs. Indeed, the title in the collection "The Tables" is rich with numerous stations of titling where the caravans of interpretation and the processions of engagement stop. The poet "Elia Abu Madi," as is his custom, was generous in his creativity and distinction, leading to titles that are abundant with diverse functions and multiple structures, which greatly enriched the research with elements of semiotics and its meanings
