Poetry Collection of 'A Song for Crossing the River Twice', by “Mohammed Abdelbari”: A Semiotic Study of Formation and Significance

Abstract

This Research seeks to clarify signs and indicative connotations contained in the latest poetic experiences of the poet Mohammed Abdelbari in his Collection (Diwan) titled: “Song for Crossing the River Twice”. The latter was characterized by indicative and semiotic features on multiple levels. Therefore, the first section focused in studying the semiotics of textual parallelism across three themes: semiotics of the title, semiotics of quotation, and the semiotics of visual formation. In addition, the second section studies the semiotics of the structure of the poetic text through three themes: the linguistic sign, numerical sign, and the color sign, using the data of the semiotic approach based on monitoring and tracking the main signs in the poetic experience, and identifying their indication.
