Abstract

The language of literature reveals emotions that a reader does not stop with at the threshold of utilitarian communication, but rather goes beyond to the aesthetics of expression. Aesthetics that contains an emotional intensification, which a reader is not neutral with. Based on this understanding, this research aims to monitor the stylistic features of the poem - “The Day Has Gone", by the poet Badr Shaker Al-Sayyab, in order to identify the most prominent linguistic mechanisms. Those mechanisms transferred language from the informative level to the aesthetic one, which the semantics are framed by reflections. Reflections that decorate an expressive suggestive image by envisioning a space for interpretation that permits movement in the spaces of the text.
