아랍어 구어체 시의 발전 과정 연구

Abstract

Āmmiyya(AM), the Colloquial Arabic is generally treated as low-brow than Fuṣḩā(FU), the Classical language. But with a few exceptions, it is used in modern Arabic literature in contexts that are less than serious by some authors. This state is gradually changing under the impact of new literary concepts. Whereas in the inter-war period, novelists tended to put AM mainly in the mouths of lowly or humorous characters, many novelists today use AM or quasi-AM for representing the speech and thoughts of sophisticated and serious ones. In fact, many novelists prefer a mixture of AM-FU in emotive, indeed sublime, contexts. The same applies in even greater measure to drama. Major Arab dramatists have employed AM equally in comedy and tragedy. Meanwhile, Arabic poetry itself is becoming more attuned than ever to the rhythms and phrasings of AM. But even as these developments are taking place, many literary critics as well as creative writers in their meta-literary pronouncements seem to cling to the notion of an AM-FU dichotomy, whereby FU alone is the true medium of literature. Today Āmmiyya poetry is a large and important part of modernist Arabic poetry. It has had a continuous impact on the development of modernism in Arabic literature in general and on Arabic poetry in particular. The most important characteristics of Āmmiyya poetry is that Āmmiyya poets activated the non-vernacular aspect of the colloquial. In other words, they were writing Fuṣḥā thoughts in a colloquial diction.
