Structural and Semantic Analysis of the Poem "Mustafa" by the Poet Abdullah Al-Barduni

Abstract

This study aims to uncover the relationship between the structural and semantic aspects in the poem "Mustafa" by the poet Abdullah Al-Barduni. It does so by examining the connection between the structural elements and rhythmic phenomena on one hand, and the meaning on the other hand.
