Abstract

Intertextuality is considered one of the most distinct techniques, which modern poets attended to and took notice of for being a sort of intertextuality that accord enrichment and abundance to the text and contributes to keeping it away from straightforward and elocutionary. This research work concentrates on a kind of intertextuality in the modern Omani poetry, which is the Koranic intertextuality i.e. overlapping between the poetic text and Koranic text, because it is the most common and widespread in this kind of poetry. After presenting a theoretical introduction showing the meaning of the term intertextuality and his own perspective in this regard, in a bid to find a corresponding one in our Arabic heritage, the researcher sets out to studying its patterns using an applied analytical study distinguishing between the method of its use in the traditional poem and the modern poem, without omitting the tracking of such use and its particularity in the light of its application in the Arab poem.
