Abstract

Flirtation poetry for the Arabs represents a vivid image of a kind of innate human relations and a fertile field of behavior for the poetic self, engaging in interactions with the other/beloved within the poetic text. Its aim is to monitor the boundaries of that relationship, highlight the internal structures formed from it, and answer some questions, such as: What are the features of the relationship between the poetic self and the other/beloved? What are the most prominent structural levels that it addresses? And how do the textual structures interact to highlight their behavior and the relationship between them? The study invoked the structural approach to re-veal the poet's vision and to treat the text by examining the structures that formed this vision, relying on several technical tools. The study concluded that the text violated the expectations horizon of the recipient through the centrality of the "ego," expressing its uniqueness in taking paths that contradict the orientations of lovers.
