Abstract
The research seeks to employ Vladimir Prop’s approach in analyzing a narrative text by Abu Nawas just like the other texts that are produced by a poetic experience in order to demonstrate effectiveness of such approach in studying poetic discourses and to find about the narrative features of text, especially that Vladimir Prop looks at texts of a narrative nature in general as complex structures and of intertwined relationships. Revealing the mechanisms that link such texts is done through dismantling them and then deducing the functions that these relationships produce within a certain narrative context.
Although Vladimir Prop's approach has been devoted to fable tales in the Russian heritage, this will not prevent us from benefiting from his procedural tools in the light of the functional analysis of the texts that bear the story characteristics as a method stemming from a structural perspective. Such an approach searches functionally in the inter-relational and intertwined structures between the parts of the text taking into consideration that it is not possible to completely apply the approach to the poetic text because each text has its own characteristics which need specific procedural tools. These tools are represented in choosing the right approach that would unlock the problematic areas of the text and clarify its aesthetic features.
