Abstract

This paper aims to approach a classical poem, namely Abeed ibn Al-Abras’ muallaqa, from a modern stylistic point of view at the levels of grammar and meaning in addition to the critical and rhetorical aspects. The research raises a number of questions, including:

- Why is the poem considered among the Muallaqat despite rhyming faults? What distinguishes this Muallaqa from other Muallaqat, especially in terms of morphological and semantic aspects?
-
- Did Abeed ibn Al-Abras succeed in employing the different rhetorical devices in his poem? What effect does that have on the recipient?

- Is it possible to apply modern stylistic studies to classical texts? If yes, what added value can we get out of such application?
-
The paper will attempt to answer these and other questions, leaving some others open for other researchers to address in the future
