The semiotics of grammatical structures in the poetry of Abdullah bin Rawahah

Abstract

This research explores the syntactic structures in the poetry of Abdullah bin Rawaha through a semiotic approach, applying semiotic methodology to uncover deeper meanings in his work. Words possess both a material structure, consisting of letters, and a semantic-artistic dimension that conveys meaning. By analyzing word structures within their contexts, broader textual interpretations emerge. Abdullah bin Rawaha’s poetry is distinguished in the Islamic era, reflecting personal, cultural, and societal influences, with strong spiritual and religious dimensions that can be examined through semiotic layers. A semiotic analysis goes beyond surface structures to reveal deeper meanings, linking linguistic patterns to the poet’s emotions and experiences. This approach uncovers the symbolic and aesthetic values in his poetry, highlighting their artistic and rhetorical significance.
