 Abstract

This paper studies the Assadiyah poem by the Pre-Islamic poet Obeid
Bin Al-Abras. It investigates the phonological, structural and rhetorical
aspects of the poem from a stylistic perspective in an attempt at
identifying the stylistic features prevalent in the poet's discourse and at
understanding the poet's motives and intentions underlying the usage of
such features. It is believed that the poet's discourse, governed by the
special social circumstances associated with the Pre-Islamic era, may
have influenced the linguistic make-up of his poetry which is controlled
by well-defined aesthetic norms and conventions. The study also looks at
the linguistic and aesthetic features used by the poet in portraying the
images represented in the poem
