الطابع الشعبي في شعر ربيعة الرقي : دراسة تطبيقية

الملخص EN

This paper aims to provide an applied study of the folk traits in the poetry of Rabeah al-Reqi.

He is a second century (AH) poet, which witnessed a civilizational and cultural development that led to the establishment of the Arab city-and its social horizons and cultural institutions-the expansion of social and human relations, and the diversity of social classes.

considering this diversity, every poet sought that his poetry spreads among common people.

therefore, many poets distanced themselves from formal poetry.

they depicted the life and suffering of the lower classes, came near to their simple daily life language, boosted the composition of short folk poems to make them easily memorized and widely spread.

that is why this paper restricted its research on the concept of this new folk poetic perspective, its most important poets, and how it is different from social poetry.

it also points out briefly the distinctive poetic characteristics and the sociocultural construction of Rabeah al-Reqi’s poetry.

it traces its salient folk traits in terms of meanings and connotations on one hand and the artistic styles and forms on the other hand by studying varied samples of his poems that reached us.
