The Linguistic Study of Aesthetic Symbolism

The present study aims at investigating the functionality of symbolism in Poe''s ''''Annabel Lee'''' and Al-sayab''s ''''The Rain'''' linguistically and literary. It shows the meaning of symbolism explicitly and implicitly in both languages and societies. It examines the use of symbolism in everyday life and in literature concerning two different societies and languages. It focuses on recognizing that similar and differing personal and cultural backgrounds may influence interpretation of two selected poets and poems. It explains the notion of how to use the aesthetic symbolism in expressing linguistic aspects in two different social and cultural backgrounds.
