Abstract

This paper is a study of intertextuality, both linguistically and idiomatically showing the classical and modernist critics' opinion concerning it, and then it is applied on the poems of the Iraqi contemporary poet of the young generation: Adnan As-Sa'igh. The paper tackles the religious intertextuality which is subdivided into two sections: Qur'anic intertextuality and other Holy Books intertextuality. The paper then sheds light on the literary intertextuality by defining this term and term extracting the lines in which there is such intertextuality. The paper also explores the historical intertextuality and the historical events the poet cited in his poems. The last part of the paper is devoted to the folkloric intertextuality which is one of the topics the poet made use of to enrich his poetry by endowing it with a social atmosphere which reinforces his argument.
