Manifestations of poetry and its functions in the modern Arabic Maqama, Maqamat al-Yaziji as a model.

Abstract

This article deals with the issue of the presence of poetry in the modern Arabic maqama, and attempts to highlight its manifestations in the maqamat texts of the Lebanese writer Nassif al-Yazji, which are not devoid of poetic employment.
