البناء الاتساقي للمتوازنات المتقابلة الشعرية عند الإمام الشافعي - دراسة المستويات اللغوية الكبرى

Abstract

This study ventures into bridging stylistics with contemporary linguistic theory, focusing on the structural coherence in Imam Al-Shafi'i's poetic expressions, particularly through his adept use of balanced antithetical constructs. It aims to discern his methodical trajectory in establishing contrasting syntactic relationships. The analysis traverses the major linguistic strata, commencing with a grammatical exploration to decode the rules governing his structural templates, progressing to a semantic dissection to unveil his formulation patterns and linguistic dimensions, and culminating in an examination of the contextual layer, its cues, and mechanisms in forging textual cohesion. The study also unfolds the aesthetic dimensions of coherence. Adopting a descriptive inductive approach, the research uncovers several insights, such as Imam Al-Shafi'i's departure from conventional norms in formulating antithetical pairs, marked by his innovative formal and structural modifications. It assesses his poetic intent through contextual and situational prerequisites and evaluates the spectrum of opposition in these pairs, ranging from stark to relative, comprehensive to conditional, and others. The study further delves into his techniques for manipulating the spatial scope of these constructs and examines their structural features, including repetition, interjection, precedence, postponement, omission, and conditionality. It reveals his strategic use of syntactic deviation to enrich stylistic variety and discusses his methodologies for enhancing balance through referential techniques, repetition, and rhetorical embellishments. The research also scrutinizes his predominant assertive and varied declarative templates, emphasizing their role in conveying wisdom.

The findings illuminate the multifaceted coherence of the antithetical constructs, showcasing their roles in achieving lexical, semantic, artistic, logical, and functional coherence, among others. The study highlights the synergistic interplay of linguistic levels in shaping the overall structural coherence of Imam Al-Shafi'i's poetic discourse.
