This folk poetic tradition is different from the Sanskrit classical tradition for it is composed around the fears and joys, and daily life routines of the ordinary rural folk. The poem is analyzed in the stylistic mode of analysis which takes the language of the poem as the base and reveals in the process the stylistic significations/connotations of the poem. The texture of the poem is highlighted through the different levels of language organization namely, the phonological, lexical, syntactic and the figurative levels. The study of the poem reveals not only highlights the joys and sorrows of ordinary people in the context of separation and ultimate reunion with the loved one but also reveals the stylistic devices that are popular in Punjabi folk literature. The twelve-month pattern of the poem signifies not only the changing seasons but more significantly, the changing emotions of the suffering beloved.
Abstract
The present paper focuses on the stylistic analysis of a poem Baarah-maah composed in Punjabi folk pattern, which is a part of a more widespread South Asian poetic tradition. This folk poetic tradition is different from the Sanskrit classical tradition for it is composed around the fears and joys, and daily life routines of the ordinary rural folk. The poem is analyzed in the stylistic mode of analysis which takes the language of the poem as the base and reveals in the process the stylistic significations/connotations of the poem. The texture of the poem is highlighted through the different levels of language organization namely, the phonological, lexical, syntactic and the figurative levels. The study of the poem reveals not only highlights the joys and sorrows of ordinary people in the context of separation and ultimate reunion with the loved one but also reveals the stylistic devices that are popular in Punjabi folk literature. The twelve-month pattern of the poem signifies not only the changing seasons but more significantly, the changing emotions of the suffering beloved.
