الحلم في بواكير الرواية العربية

Abstract EN

This study deals with dreamy narration in Arabic novel in the time interval between its birth to the end of fifties.

Basically, four representative novels (Ibrahim the writer, Ibrahim Al-khatib; Doa'a Alkarawan, Taha Husain; Passage in the silent night, Jabra Ibrahim Jabra; and Basima tears, Abdesslam Al-ujaili) were analyzed.

The selected novels differ in their levels of dreamy narrations' functionality, however, "passage in the silent night" represents a conscious and early functioning of dreamy narration formally and semantically.

Therefore, the later novel was more deeply studied and the answers related to the questions of sources of its dreamy narration, its nature, and what determines its context were triggered.

In respect to dreamy narration language, several lingual features and their semantics were studied based on the internal novelistic structure.
