The Coherence of Intertextuality in Tayseer Al- Saboul's Divan of "Desert Sorrows": Interdisciplinary Study in Discourse Analysis

Abstract

      This is an analytical applied study, including a proposal to analyze the coherence of the notable intertextual models embedded in the selected anthology. The study demonstrated the relationship between intertextuality and coherence, indicating that the analysis of the former confirms the achievement of the latter based on the importance of the addressee's interpretation for those models according to his/her competencies, aiming to achieve coherence. Additionally, in its practical aspect, the study focused on analyzing the coherence of each intertextual model individually, by analyzing its type, as well as its horizontal coherence within the poem, and vertical coherence, by elucidating its coherence emanating from the overarching structure of the anthology, which focuses on the poet's various sorrows and their deepening. Finally, the study highlighted, at the end of each model, the extent of coherence between intertextuality and the associated discourse, which is novel in the few existing studies of intertextual coherence in the Arabic library.
