Abstract

The present study is intended to investigate imagery from a semantic and stylistic perspectives in two selected Arabic and English poems. Imagery is the heart of literature that aid readers to be part of the story, the poem, or the play. It supplies us with all details that are related to sight, taste or sensation which in turn arose the emotions of the reader. Without such literary device, Literature would be dull and boring (Di Yanni, 2007, p. 779). The analysis of imagery in the Arabic and the English poems on the stylistic level is based on psychoanalytic approach by Kristeva(1984) . The analysis of imagery on semantic levels is limited to the use of lexical items and their significance for imagery in the two selected poems and is based on Leech’s (1981) seven types of meaning. The current study is significant, since to the researcher’s best knowledge, no other previous study has attempted to analyze imagery in these selected poems from a stylistic semantic perspective. This study sheds light on the notion that stylistics and semantics can work as an integrated field toward a deeper analysis of literary texts.

Key words: Stylistics, semantics, Alfred Tennyson, Badr Alsiab, imagery.
