The realistic places in ancient Arabic poetryBetween reformulating and internalizing meaning

Abstract

The places labeled scientific in ancient poetry were not merely a reference to a specific geographical reference. Despite its frequency in linguistic dictionaries, geographical encyclopedias,
and the works of commentators and scholars. The place of knowledge is present in the poetic text to
internalize the meaning that the poet seeks to achieve. The place is enthusiastic, emotional, and
exciting... and the poet’s effort to reformulate these places so that they suit the intended meaning is
evident in various places.
