Abstract

This study examines the role of al-madih (praise poetry) as an instrument of political legitimization during the Umayyad Dynasty. While al-madih originally functioned as a literary genre for expressing admiration and honoring individuals, it gradually evolved into a political medium that reinforced the authority of the ruling dynasty. This research aims to analyze how praise poetry was employed to construct the public image and legitimacy of Umayyad rulers through the works of three prominent court poets: Al-Akhtal, Jarir, and Al-Farazdaq. Using a qualitative descriptive approach and qualitative content analysis, the study examines selected poems alongside historical and literary sources related to the political and cultural context of the Umayyad period. The findings reveal that al-madih functioned not merely as a form of artistic expression but also as an effective tool of political communication. Through rhetorical devices such as metaphor, hyperbole, symbolism, and genealogical references, these poets portrayed Umayyad caliphs as just, divinely sanctioned, and legitimate rulers while simultaneously strengthening the dynasty's public image and responding to political opposition. The study concludes that al-madih played a significant role in consolidating Umayyad political authority, demonstrating the close relationship between Arabic literature and political power in early Islamic civilization.

Abstract

This study examines the symbolism of nature in Robert Frost's The Sound of Trees and Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening using Roland Barthes' semiotic theory. The study aims to analyze how natural symbols construct meaning through the processes of denotation, connotation, and myth within Barthes' framework of first- and second-order signification. A qualitative descriptive method with a library research approach was employed. The primary data consist of the two selected poems, while secondary data were obtained from books, journal articles, and relevant literary criticism. The findings reveal that natural elements such as trees, woods, snow, and wind function not merely as descriptions of the physical environment but as symbolic signs that communicate broader cultural and ideological meanings. At the connotative level, these symbols represent ideas of freedom, contemplation, responsibility, personal transformation, and emotional reflection. At the mythological level, the symbols engage with cultural beliefs concerning mobility, self-determination, solitude, purity, and responsibility. However, rather than simply reproducing these cultural myths, Frost's poems also complicate and negotiate them by presenting the tension between personal aspiration and social obligation. The study demonstrates that Barthes' concept of myth provides a useful framework for explaining how ordinary natural imagery operates as a second-order sign system through which cultural values are constructed and critically examined in Frost's poetry.

Abstract

Song lyrics function as linguistic signs that convey both literal and implied meanings through symbolic expressions. Although previous studies have applied Roland Barthes’ semiotic theory to analyze song lyrics, limited attention has been given to how ordinary lexical items and everyday expressions function as emotional symbols in contemporary pop music. This study aims to identify the denotative and connotative meanings in the lyrics of “XXL” by LANY and to examine how ordinary expressions are transformed into symbolic representations of intimacy, nostalgia, and emotional attachment through Barthes’ second-order signification. This study employed a qualitative descriptive design. The data source consisted of the official lyrics of “XXL” by LANY. The entire lyrics were examined, while five representative lyric lines were purposively selected for detailed analysis. The data were analyzed using Barthes’ concepts of first-order and second-order signification. The findings reveal that expressions such as small-town dreams, hoodie, Miss Americana, California, and double-XL possess both denotative and connotative meanings. Through second-order signification, these ordinary lexical items function as symbolic signs representing shared aspirations, intimacy, admiration, nostalgia, and enduring emotional attachment. These findings demonstrate that contemporary pop lyrics communicate emotional experiences not only through literal meanings but also through symbolic associations. The study contributes to semiotic studies by providing a deeper understanding of emotional signification in contemporary pop song lyrics through Barthes’ semiotic framework.

Abstract

My Heart is Aflame by Al-Mutanabbi is a lengthy poem that intricately weaves personal emotion, panegyric praise, and rhetorical self-pride. This study aims to examine three dimensions of the poet’s voice in selected stanzas, employing a stylistic approach that focuses on diction, imagery, figurative language, and concrete words. The analysis reveals that Al-Mutanabbi consistently constructs a complex lyrical persona: a wounded lover suffering from unrequited affection, an admirer exalting the figure of Saif al-Dawlah in heroic terms, and an individual proudly affirming his prowess as both poet and warrior. Through the use of intense word choices and rich figurative and imagistic elements, the poem conveys the poet’s identity as a grand figure within the cultural and literary tradition of classical Arabic society. This analysis highlights Al-Mutanabbi’s expressive strength in blending personal sentiment with elevated linguistic strategies, making his poetry a vehicle of self-assertion and cultural positioning.
