The Argumentative Repetition in Ali Ibn Almuqarrab Alayouni's Poems (ca. 630 AH)

Abstract

This study attempts to follow the aspects of argumentative repetition in Alayouni's poems, relying on the pragmatic approach, which has become a means of revealing the creative aspects and aesthetic phenomena that abound in literary works. Repetition is a classic rhetorical pattern that pragmatic studies have sought to introduce into the new rhetoric as stylistically dominant and of an argumentative nature. Based on these grounds, this study uncovers the effectively implied repetition in Alayouni's poems. In other words, the poet is aware of repetition in the nature of this stylistic hegemon and the argumentative energies it entails that can, and Alayouni used them well, contribute to bringing viewpoints closer together and bridging speaker-addressee connection.

Undoubtedly, Alayouni's poems are aware of the text-creator connection. Thus, Alayouni sincerely endeavored to defend his cause, to ensure that his poetic text has the characteristic of persuasion that he considered to be one of the issues worthy of study.

In addition, widely used repetition in argumentation-oriented meanings draws attention, arouses interest, and questions other psychological factor. These functions contribute to illuminating part of the corridors of the human soul, which is burdened with its hopes, pain, joys, sorrows, feet, and reluctance. And other contradictions that life works to perpetuate, and exhausting oneself with its worries and emotions that increase day after day. Moreover, repetition features a considerable function by enriching texts with linguistic and rhetorical senses, harmonizing textures, retaining cohesion, strengthening consistency, and reshaping textual rhythms. Accordingly, repetition produces well-formed, visible meanings, all of which serve poetic and prosaic necessities.
