“…This inflectional morpheme is not only semantically necessary yet it is rhetorically important to create a rhyme with line 1. (Campe, 2013) Therefore , if the translator follows these modifications , the rhyme structure will be [a/b/a/a]. The metrical measuring of this stanza is as follows:- This translation needs simple modifications in the sequence of the words to create an appropriate rhyme structure in the TL poem like :…”

Arabic Poetry in general and Iraqi Modern Poetry in particular are abundant in emotional, nationalistic and political attitudes. Iraqi poets express their devotion and loyalty to their homeland profoundly and figuratively. Badr Shaker Al-Sayyab is an Iraqi pioneering figure in modern Arabic poetry. His poem (For I'm Stranger) is one of his powerful and effective literary works in which he draws magnificent images of the strong psychological bond with his homeland Iraq. This poem is a challenging task for translators (from Arabic into any other language). So, this paper focuses on how to render the meter and the rhyme of the source Arabic poem which has unique stylistic and prosaic structures into the TL concerned? The study includes an analysis of the English and French versions of "Liaani Ghareeb لأني غريب" poem. The analysis is made by comparing musical, rhetorical and figurative structures of the two versions to see which version is closer to the Arabic SL poem. This study comes up with the conclusion that the metrical and prosodic structures of the French version are more harmonic in terms of musicality. The English version on the other hand seems acceptable but lacks the rhetorical compatibility in the light of the adopted theories of translation.

This paper explores parallels between the morphological thought of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the structuralism of Claude Lévi‐Strauss, and the formalism of Vladimir Propp, with emphasis on the manner in which each of these three thinkers adopts an “epistemological attitude” critical of, and external to, conventional philosophical discourse. The core commonality between them lies in their skepticism about the separability of the ideal from the real, and in the seeking of meaning within the observable constitutive structures of a phenomenon rather than any noumenal essence. The first part of the article examines the way Goethe and Lévi‐Strauss negotiate the relation between abstract thought and concrete observation; the second part turns to the way Lévi‐Strauss and Propp negotiate that question within the context of twentieth‐century social science.
