National Expressions and Words of Nature in Diwan “From Palestine, My Feather,” for The Palestinian Poet Abu Salma Abdul Karim Al-Karmi “A Semantic Study”

Abstract

Abstract This study seeks to apply the theory of semantic fields to the poetry of the emigrated Palestinian poet Abu Salma, in his diwan “From Palestine, my feather,” by limiting it to two semantic fields, namely, national expressions and words of nature. However, the study is based on one relationship that governs the vocabulary of one semantic domain, which is synonymy. In this study, I relied on the statistical and analytical methodology. The study began with a focused brief introduction to the theory of semantic fields. The national vocabulary words were put in three categories... The second area, however, dealt with words of nature and divided them into six groups... The study figured out: The implementations of Semantic Fields Theory on this Diwan opened the text to new explanations, and enhance using old vocabularies in new meanings... Keywords: Semantic Fields Theory, Diwan "Min Philistine Rishti", "Abu Salma", Nature & National Words.
