Abstract: (210 Views)
This research aims to analyze the linguistic functions in Abdel Rahman Sharqawi's play "Al-Hussein the Revolutionary," drawing on Roman Jakobson's communicative theory. It examines theatrical discourse as a linguistic act imbued with semantic, aesthetic, and intellectual dimensions. The research demonstrates how Sharqawi employs language as a tool for revolution and awareness, transforming elements of discourse into communicative mediums that play multiple roles within the theatrical structure. The study reveals that the referential function is prominent in the narrative sections relating to Al-Hussein's revolution, as these sections are based on presenting reality and establishing the context. The emotional function is manifested in the speeches of Al-Hussein and his followers, which express pain, rejection, and faith, thus giving the text a powerful emotional character. The persuasive or vocative function is employed when Al-Hussein addresses the nation, urging it to resist injustice, where the language takes on an incitement-like quality that compels the audience to engage. The presence of the poetic function is also evident through the rhythm and rhetorical imagery that enrich the text's artistic structure and reinforce its aesthetic appeal. The metalinguistic function is prominent in dialogues where speakers explain religious or moral concepts to clarify meanings. The introductory function appears in the calls and opening lines of dialogue, which aim to initiate and manage communication. The findings demonstrate that Sharqawi employs all the functions of language to serve his intellectual vision, making the play a vivid example of the interaction between revolutionary discourse and communication theory |
