Abstract

Right-corresponding poetry, rich in meaning and little in structure, which finds its path to rooting into the selves and circling on the tongues, and it applies to people’s life everywhere and every time, adopted by person as long as it is beneficial to him; it is (wisdom poetry) that was capable of surpassing type to become an independent purpose in the Abbasid era. It is that era in which mental life flourished with philosophical and debating researches that were influenced by the foreign cultures coming through translation. Also, ideas were crowded, sects multiple, debate and contest numerous. All these facts, outside text, contributed to the thinking of poets according to each poet’s experience and artistic ability.
The perfect trend marking that poetry, telling rooted life values which are common among people, had an authority on increasing meaning, rooting into the self and leading to ratification. That is the scope of the pragmatic Hajjaji research in terms of the function of the directive, persuasive wisdom, carrying a speech act with an achievable, effective power which evinced through linguistic roues that can influence the recipient’s belief and guide his behavior. Consequently, we have proposed to study these methods and clarify that speech act named (Hajjaji modalities), for their ability to guide the utterance according to the poet’s intention; i.e., revealing the mechanisms adopted by the poet while building his effective and persuasive wisdom.
