Abstract

IbenKhafja is an Andules poet. He died in 533 A.H. He was well-minded in text structuring (whether poem or novel). In this poem (i.e. Al-Jabal lit means the mountain) the writer impersonates two personalities with high degree of semantic and artistic tension. These two personalities are highly interrelated. After scrutinizing them, it becomes evident that it is one personality Narration play its role in introducing this unified personality. The poetic language also plays its role depending on the poetic shape which indudes meter and rhyme. Similarly, it depends on the narrative performance. spaciotemperal dimensions also have a role as they are narrative space that frames the elements of the poem as whole. All of these were in coherent structure with unity of subject systemized in extensive and abstracted language in which both poetry and short story are involved.
