Referral links in the poem Abyssin by Ibrahim Tuqan

A statistical linguistic study

Abstract

   Textual cohesion is one of the most important concepts produced by linguistic studies. It goes beyond the limits of linking parts of a single sentence to a comprehensive perception of the text, and reveals its minor linguistic structures that clarify the text's overlapping relationships. This study reveals the harmony between the lexical, Turkish, and semantic fields and their impact on shaping the poetic vision. This coherence and harmony can only be achieved through silver relationships, and referral is one of these relationships. The research dealt with the concept of referral and its types, and then applied this to the chosen text The study concluded with the fact that the text (The Abyssinian Sacrifice) was characterized by many referential tools, which had an impact on the cohesion of the text. It also showed that the poet was able to harness referral, adding aesthetic and moral value to the text. The research adopted the statistical linguistic approach.
