Abstract

Dialogue is one of the narrative elements that has occupied an important place in poetic texts since ancient times. Dialogue has an artistic and aesthetic value, in addition to the realistic value that it adds to texts, as dialogue attracts the attention of the recipient and draws him to the literary text, and motivates him to sense the event and interact with it. The element of dialogue has been observed in the poetry of Abu Ishaq al-Ghazi, as it formed a distinctive narrative feature in his poetry. This study will accordingly examine the structure of dialogue in the poetry of Abu Ishaq al-Ghazzi. In this research, we will clarify how the poet employed the element of dialogue in his poetry. This research has been divided into an introduction that covers the poet's life, defines the structure of dialogue linguistically and terminologically, and explains its importance in poetry. Subsequently, we will study and analyze the texts according to the narrative structure methodology to extract the structure of both external and internal dialogue, concluding with a summary of the most important findings reached by the research.
