The Textual Coherence Pattern in Harf al-Sujud by the Poet Adeeb Kamal Al-Din

Abstract

Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to examine the pattern of textual coherence both theoretically and practically through an analysis of the poetry collection Harf al-Sujud by the poet Adeeb Kamal Al-Din. The analysis is conducted at the levels of poem themes, poetic segments, and the events embedded within them, in addition to the study of intentionality, time, and place. This approach seeks to reveal the mechanisms of textual coherence and their role in achieving poetic unity and semantic cohesion.

Methodology: The study adopts a descriptive approach to collect and analyze theoretical information related to patterns of textual coherence, alongside an applied statistical method employed on the poems of Harf al-Sujud. This methodology aims to identify patterns of coherence and to measure their presence and distribution within the poetic texts.

Results: The findings indicate that all patterns of coherence—namely theme, segment, title, intentionality, time, and place—operate collectively to produce coherent and integrated texts. Textual coherence within the collection enhances a deeper understanding of the mystical and spiritual dimensions of the poems and reflects the poet’s deliberate attention to techniques of textual construction and coherence.

Conclusion: The study concludes that the patterns of textual coherence in Harf al-Sujud by Adeeb Kamal Al-Din function in an integrated manner across multiple levels, from theme and segment to title, intentionality, time, and place. These patterns interact to create cohesive and unified poetic texts that organize events, images, and ideas within a logically structured and harmonious framework.
