التحليل الصوتي الدلالي في شعر أحمد شوقي

Abstract

The research investigated the semantic acoustics analysis of chosen verses from the poetry of Ahmed Shawqi, the prince of poets. It sought to clarify the extent of the poet’s excellence in the vocal choices that he intended to express the meanings that were burning within him. He used loud voices to express the feelings of longing and distance from the beloved that he knew. For advice and guidance of the soul and the world, the poet chose the sounds that are characterized by relative ease, since advice requires gentleness and gentleness. Meanwhile, verses praising the Prophet, characterized by the use of gentle and low sounds, reflected the Prophet's humility and closeness in dealing with people, with an emphasis on open sounds since the Prophet was sent as a mercy to all humanity. The researcher analyzed both the apparent and underlying semantic significance of word sounds, following a descriptive-analytical semantic approach to achieve the study's goals. The research revealed several key findings, including the interconnectedness of word sounds within context to convey intended meanings and emotions effectively, demonstrating the richness and eloquence of the Arabic language in conveying ideas and emotions, and uncovering implicit meanings through acoustic analysis that the poet did not explicitly state.

Accordingly, the research was divided into an introduction and two sections. The first section: Semantic Acoustics, dealt first with the definition of semantic acoustics among the ancients and moderns, and secondly: the types of phonetic groups according to their places of articulation. The second section: sound features and their meanings, starting with presenting the distinctive features of sounds; and secondly, providing the meanings of sounds with practical examples.
