CONVERSATIONAL IMPLICATURE IN MAHMOUD DERWEESH'S POETRY GROUP: (MY SWEETHEART ARISES FROM HER SLEEP- 1970, AS MODEL)

Abstract

This research aims to study the conversational Implicature in (Mahmoud Derweesh's Poetry) " My Sweetheart Arises from her Sleep" group _ 1970_ as a model because of the great importance that this group possesses and for its meanings, symbols and pragmatic values as well as the underlying connotations which can't be explained literally and can't be understood by the ordinary readers of the texts. Those underlying meanings which portray the ongoing sufferance of Palestinian people revolution and their resistance against the Israeli occupation to their lands for decades. This research is composed of an introductory chapter and' two divisions: the first one is the theoretical part for the conversational Implicature technique, the other part was devoted for the practical side. The researcher used a new method which depends on the stylistic analysis with a pragmatic component added to it for inducing the texts and discovering the underlying meanings of the texts in this group. The research findings show that the poetic speech of Derweesh includes indirect meanings mostly contrary to the communication principles. He thinks that there are special communication principles which enable his readers to understand his texts, so his texts literal meanings changed to underlying meanings.
