Abstract

Our study of the significance of parallelism in Abu Al-Atahiyas poetry revolves around his poetic language in terms of sounds, morphological forms, and grammatical structures. We have discussed the parallelism of these issues in his poetry to know the music generated from sounds, forms, and structures, as well as the connotations that emerge from them, as the function of parallelism is not limited to the aspect Aestheticism, or musical rhythm only, but it goes beyond meaning, and the connotations that come out of it.The poets of the first Abbasid era mastered the use of language in constructing their poems. Their language was easy, in terms of sounds, formulas, and structures, as they took care to choose expressions perfectly, so that they would serve the desired purpose, which gave their texts a musical dimension, as a result of their extreme care in repeating linguistic phenomena and their striking parallelism. This repetition added coherence to the artistic structure of the poem and gave it high musicality, in addition to the connotations it conveys.
