Abstract

This study deals with the rhetorical forms in the poetic ‎ text . The aim of the study is to find out the effectiveness of ‎ the techniques of these forms and their relationship with the ‎ poetical vision ; the study therefore takes one of " Alqama ‎ Al-Fahl`s poems as an example to indicate that these forms function as a deep semantical factor in shaping the poetical vision usually produced by the text structure .‎ it has been believed that this vision was represented , in ‎ the selected poem , by selfrealization and will deprivation .‎ The aforementioned semantical factor took place , in the ‎ Poem , on two levels : the surface and the deep . On the ‎ first , this factor points out that rhetorical forms creat , by means of modifications , some sort of rise and tension zones. In the meantime , zones of rhetorical rhythm monot-‎ ony appear as succession of any rhetorical form – in consec-‎ utive zones – comes out.‎ As for as the second level , the study has found out that such rhetorical forms gave numerous meanings built up through the poetical vision , and strongly connected with it .‎ These meanings were represented , in the poem , by the fol-‎ Lowing cores : constancy and change , existence and absence Known and unknown , and present and past.
