Abstract :

Human societies have always faced the difficulties and challenges of life. In the 20th century, with the rise of feminist debates and women's rights by supporters of the women's movement, language as one of the social phenomena affecting the superiority of one gender and the inferiority of the other gender was noticed. And since gender is one of the factors that cause differences in language, the present essay, with a descriptive-analytical method, seeks to represent this difference in the poetic language of Fadwa Tuqan and Mahmoud Darvish Both of them are poets of the Palestinian resistance. Fadwa Tuqan is a prominent representative of female poets who understood the sufferings of Palestinian women and her poetry reflects these sufferings and problems And Mahmoud Darwish is a resistance poet whose poems end in Palestine. Based on the findings of this research, gender differences are evident in the poetic language of these two poets in different parts of the two poems of Ahat and Identity Card, from the lexical, syntactic and rhetorical layer to the content and intellectual layer. Masculinity and femininity, like the linguistic difference between the two genders, is inevitable. Keywords: Gender, Fadwa Tuqan, Mahmoud Darwish, poetic language
