Abstract:
The current study is interested in paradox, its attribution by contrast and what accompanies it including the linguistic deviation and moral intertextuality as one of the semantic condensing procedure in the poetic and the interest paid by many western critiques in specific and the Arab ones in general, despite that Arabs efforts were limited particularly in application. Starting from this point, the research idea emerged in this fascinating subject and due to the supervisor’s guidance Prof. Dr. Refel Hassan Taha Al Ta’ee who advised me to tackle Nazik Al Mela’ikah verse (collection of the whole works) in a way to highlight the poet’s effort in applying the paradox and its types in all her works.
The study is composed of a preface, conclusion, and three chapters. The preface tried to answer the questioning of how the paradox was formed and its semantic intensive in Nazik Al Mela’ikah verse. This was branched into basic inquiries about what is the paradox ? what is its significance in the verse formation? How the poet’s texts affected due to the poet’s use of the rhetorical arts and what are these arts and styles? The poet’s role in originating the term in the modern Arabic criticism was investigated. The study relied on many and various linguistic, critical, and literary references and bibliographies, some of them are western which were translated and theoretical Arabic studies, the most important study belongs to De See Myouk translated by Abdul Rehman Lo’lo’ah entitled ( The paradox and its attributes), a study by Dr. Khalid Sulaiman entitled ( Paradox and literature), a study by Dr. Nebealah Ibrahim which is included in her book ( Story art between theory and application), an article by Seza Qasim entitled ( Paradox in the art of contemporary narrative), and a book in paradox in the verse of Pioneers by Dr. Qais Al Khefaji, and some theses and dissertations like ( stylistic of language in the verse of NA by Jabbar Hlail from Babylon university 2011, thesis of Paradox in the verse of Abi Newas by Saqar Ahmed Hussein Urabi from Al Yarmouk university 2016, and Paradox in the verse of Al Senoberi by Yusrah Kheleal Abdul Rehman from Al Gkekeal University).
