The Semiotics Of Beginnings And Ends In Hasan Al-Zahrani Poetry Collection ( Echoes Of Sorrows)

Abstract

This research is concerned with studying the semiotics of beginning and ends in Hasan Al-Zahrani  poetry  collection, ( Echoes of Sorrows)as it is one of the most important critical frameworks that pays great attention to the study of linguistic signs and the symbolic connotations hidden behind the textual structure. This research was based on the semiotic approach in studying the collection “Echoes of Sorrows” by the poet Hassan Al-Zahrani. It seeks to decode the symbolic connotations represented in studies of textual thresholds, shedding light on the external title and the internal titles, with a focus on the beginning of the poems and their semiotic endings. The study reached a number of results, the most notable of which is: the availability of an element of complementarity between the external title “Echoes of Sorrows.” And the internal titles within the collection, and the beginnings and endings of the poems revealed the complexity of the poet’s poetic experience, which became clear through the poet’s transition throughout the collection from the private to the general, and from the subjective to the social, and the poet’s employment of some poetic techniques, such as: repetition, contrast, and poetic images contributed to enriching the reading experience with multiple emotional and intellectual dimensions.
