Problematic Utilization of Poetry in Arabic Grammar

This investigation is a critical approach on one of the most important linguistic material of the Arabic grammarian (i.e. Poetry) which has been used to justify the grammatical categories. The central discussion related to the poetry as a special structure that can’t be the proper patterns for derivation of grammatical rules. In the formalism perspective literariness means making-strange that take place on typical language. This process depends on several mechanisms such as the rhyme, putting the words forward and backward, delectation, addition, and changing the position of the phrase in poetic context. These mechanism have been called (poetic necessities) or (zarorat Al sheriya) in the Arabic traditional linguistic. Our hypothesis is the poetic language has not sufficient authenticity to be used as a well form structure. But the grammarian considered it as a well-form structure that has validity to be used broadly in the derivation of grammatical rules. Controversially poetry loses its authenticity because of its abnormality. Indiscrimination between the poetry and prose in Arabic grammatical studies have leaded to the expansion of grammatical exceptional case and consequently this procedure created very serious complexity and ambiguity in the Arabic grammar.
