The Stylistic Features in the Literary Works of Arab Poets with Disabilities
Abstract
Objectives: This study aims to explore the issues addressed by poets with disabilities, such as discrimination, personal identity, and the challenges they face, with a focus on the linguistic and stylistic dimensions of their poetry. Method: The study uses a descriptive-analytical approach to analyze the linguistic and stylistic characteristics of poetry by poets with disabilities. It includes eleven Arab poets and examines elements like titles, introductions, themes, imagery, meter, and rhyme, while also exploring the aesthetic aspects and unique features of their works. Results: The findings show the societal goals of disabled poets and how they deal with their condition, demonstrating a close relationship to the philosophy of ancient disability poets, whose challenges are comparable despite the variations in historical periods. Additionally, the research emphasises how handicapped people are portrayed in literature, highlighting their incorporation as important members of society. It also demonstrates how society's ideas of disability are shaped by the aesthetic richness and thematic depth of disability literature. Conclusions: The research emphasises the value of disability literature in illuminating the problems and experiences of people with disabilities, including social obstacles, prejudice, and personal identity. It helps bring attention to the problems that poets with disabilities experience and is a step in the right direction towards changing how society views these people and promoting a greater appreciation of their literary and cultural achievements.
