Abstract

Abstract: The current study falls within the limits of modern linguistics, investigating phonetic models of singing Arabic poetry, from a phonetic stylistic standpoint. This field is new, as ancient and modern studies have dealt with modern Arabic poetry, either as a rhetorical or stylistic-rhetorical or phonetic study outside of modern stylistics. This research aims to demonstrate the importance of vocal stylistics in singing Arabic poetry, and the importance of vocal performance according to a stylistic approach. The researcher has studied vocal stylistics according to a descriptive computer approach choosing singing models from the modern era and applying them. The following research divisions have been studied: Singing poetry- Lyricism in Arabic poetry - Vocal stylistics - Vocal stylistics and poetry singing - Vocal and stylistic change - Vocal and stylistic repetition. Results show the stylistic necessity of poetic chanting in completing the important link between the sender and the recipient, governed by contexts within certain connotations, which later turn into sounds again in the process of vocal chanting, and this is what distinguishes the vocal stylistics of poetic chanting. Then comes the role of vocal repetition. It plays a prominent role in the vocal stylistics of singing poetry, and this is clearly evident in the vocal time, as it differs in chanting or singing, even if it is in one word that is repeated.
