الانزياح التركيبي في شعر يحيى الغزال الأندلسي

Abstract

     This study discussed the phenomenon of the synthetic displacement in the poetry of Yahya ibn Ḥakam al-Ghazal al-Andalusi and observed the most prominent manifestations of this displacement, such as preluding, delaying, excluding, repetition, enallage and interpolated clause. Moreover, the study handled synthetic displacement’s role in forming a text based on two levels: the literal and the artistic. It showed its effect in imparting semantic plural contexts and artistic values. The study adopted the survey approach based on monitoring the manifestations of synthetic displacement and analyzing them objectively and semantically, integrated with the artistic approach that helped highlight the aesthetics of those displacements. This study concluded that the synthetic displacement represented a prominent stylistic phenomenon in al-Ghazalʼs poetry that emabled him to represent his ideas and draw his pictures, which enriched his poetic experience and made it able to be explained and interpreted.
