Objectives: This research aims to study the (linguistic refrain) as a pattern of disfavored repetition, clarifying its concept and distinguishing it from general repetition; it derives the characteristics that have made it an independent term with its own rules and representations; ultimately demonstrating the effect of this usage on two levels: semantic and semiotic, in the poetry of Muhyar al-Daylami (428 AH), exemplified by his excessive repetition of the word (Alṭṭyn wā lṭṭynh).
Methods: The research addresses its topic through two methodological approaches: one semantic, which clarifies the meanings, uses, and value of the word in poetic contexts; and the other semiotic, which uncovers the semiotic signs that the word structurally and culturally implies.
Results: The linguistic refrain shattered and defaced the word (Alṭṭyn wā lṭṭynh)., depriving it of its semantic value in the poetry of Muhyar al-Daylami. However, on the semiotic level, it revealed a striking belief-related connection between the poet and his religious sect; it created a religious poetic sign that dominated his inspiration, leading to frequent repetition.
Conclusions: Repetition has a special form called the linguistic refrain, which weakens and undermines poetry, causing words to be disliked and meanings to be rejected. Nevertheless, this form is not devoid of a cultural sign that justifies its use, at least from the poet’s perspective.
