Contrast and its and bilateral relations in the classical poem in contemporary Yemeni poetry from (2005-2015 AD)

This study explores the dynamics, forms, and transformations of antonyms within contemporary Yemeni poetry. It establishes a stylistic framework to uncover internal semantic relationships within the binary oppositions. Adopting the stylistic approach, the research analyzes these texts to highlight structural and semantic aesthetics. The study comprises three sections: Nominal, Synergistic, and Symbolic Antonymy. The sample includes texts from Yassin Muhammad Al-Bakali, Abu Bakr Mahmoud Bajaber, Abdullah Salem Bakerman, and Ibrahim Talha, representing diverse patterns within the traditional "vertical" poem.

Findings reveal antonymy as a complex, interlocking semantic system transcending superficial rhetorical techniques. Instead, it functions as a generator of artistic energy and dynamic dialectics. The study demonstrates that binary relationships operate as an intricate network of oppositions, creating continuous dialectical movement that deepens aesthetic impact and enhances recipient response. As a pioneering work, this represents the first in-depth academic research applying the modern stylistic method to the vertical poem in contemporary Yemeni poetry. It serves as a pivotal starting point for specialized critical studies. Furthermore, the study contributes to enriching critical perspectives on contemporary poetic expression mechanisms and their creative evolution in Yemen, providing an advanced methodological framework applicable to similar studies of complex stylistic phenomena in contemporary Arabic poetry.
