Abstract
Pragmatics deals with
the relation between linguistic activity and its users, and successful methods
of using the linguistic marks and different keys and contexts within which the
discourse is made. Also it finds out the elements that make the discourse as a
successful and obvious massage and it finds out the reasons for failure in
communication with natural languages.
Since pragmatics has
the ability to call for non-linguistic aspects in the process of criticism and
analysis in the address, this method has been chosen to approach the praise
poetry of Caliphs in the first Abbasid era in a way which is different from
most literary studies that deals with this poetry with regard to artistic form
only.
Praise poetry in
general, and of Caliphs in particular isn’t based on the aesthetic conditions
only, but also it takes into consideration the pragmatic and social conditions
that require forms of speech manner according to tone keys in response to a
general law that regulates the human communication and prescribes that the
success of communication between speaker
and addressee
is based only on the response to the pragmatic rules, such as cooperation,
politeness, courtesy … etc.
Since these rules are
characterized by usual communication, it is better that these rules are
characterized by poetic speech which requires aesthetic form. So, how do the
poets leave the dignity that they seek?
The poetry that praises Caliphs requires
special types of criticism, so the pragmatics is the most appropriate manner to
approach this type of poetry.
So, we followed the
pragmatic manner in studying and analyzing the praise poetries mentioned in the
Abbasid royal palace.
