Abstract

Objective: Investigate phonemic parallelism in Balqis' poem as a representative of Nizar Kabbani's poetry, exploring its stylistic and semantic dimensions. Additionally, clarify the significance of phonemic-phonetic parallelism, its structural elements, and its role as a captivating artistic phenomenon enhancing the text aesthetically and suggestively.

Methods: The study adopted the descriptive-analytical method using statistical and heuristic reading based on digital readings of Balqis's poem by Nizar Kabbani and accurately indicating the phonemic distribution ratios to link them with the substantive, suggestive, and psychological connotations of the poet.

Results: The poet employed phonemic parallelism and drew a mosaic drawing, through which the musical rhythm of this sound formation fits with the meaning and psychological state that lived in the poet's heart, feelings, and pen, and collaborated to form vocabulary and sentences that harmonized with the intended meaning. Nizar Kabbani excelled in weaving phonemic parallels into his Elegy, which increased the aesthetic value and raised the distinctive sound rhythm with its sad and rebellious dimension. He was able to convey it to the recipient's ears and sense, to reflect this on the semantic formation that may wander his mind and thought while reading.

Conclusions: Balqis's poem exhibits artistic value through phonemic parallelism, showcasing the poet's creative language, semantic depth, and rhythmic harmony, contributing to the uniqueness and excellence of the work. The study suggests employing computer-based computational programs for statistical analysis to enhance understanding of sound distribution, phonemes, and their implications on semantics and aesthetic values in the poem.
