Abstract

Religious female figures have been considered valuable in the literature and culture of contemporary Arab poets since long ago. Jaber al-Jabri (Madin al-Mousavi) is a contemporary Iraqi poet who has added to the originality and literary richness of her poetry by using religious heritage in her poems. The representation of religious female figures in Jaber Al-Jabari's poems helps to discover the layers of meaning in his poetry. Roman Jacobsen's communication theory; The prominent Russian linguist examines the six roles of language in order to direct the message of the poet (the sender) towards one of the constructive factors of the communication process. Examining language functions in literary texts, especially poetry, brings the audience to a deeper understanding of the poet's verbal art .
This research aims to investigate and analyze the religious female characters in the poems of Jaber Al-Jabari with a descriptive-analytical approach, relying on Roman Jacobsen's communication theory. The findings of the research show that the most frequent linguistic roles in depicting the characters of Zahra (pbuh) and Zainab (pbuh) in Jabri's poetry are persuasive, emotional, empathic and referential roles,. Separate forms is used. In the poetry of Jaber Al-Jabari, the prominent characters of Zahra (pbuh) and Zainab (pbuh) are presented as symbols of a perfect, patient and selfless human being along with femininity characteristics in order to have an important impact on the cultural and social fabric of the society and to make the audience understand and familiar. More than the intellectual dimensions and ideology of coercion.
