Analisis Gaya Bahasa Jinas dalam Qasidah “Ṣawtu Ṣafīri al-Bulbuli” (Kajian Balaghah)

Abstract

This research is motivated by the importance of studying balaghah (balaghah), particularly the linguistic style of jinās (literary style), in understanding the beauty of sound and meaning in Arabic literary works. The Qasidah Ṣawtu Ṣafīri al-Bulbuli by the poet Ashmu'i was chosen as the object of research because of its rich variation and interconnectedness of sounds that support the emergence of jinās, repetition, and distinctive phonetic patterns, making it an interesting example for rhetorical analysis. This uniqueness prompted the research to uncover the function of jinās in constructing the aesthetic structure of the text. The purpose of this research is to identify the types of jinās in the qaṣīdah, analyze their occurrence using a distributional approach, and explain their contribution to the meaning and rhythm of the text. Furthermore, this research aims to provide a theoretical and applied understanding of the function of jinās in classical Arabic literature. The method used is descriptive-analytical with a distributional approach. Data were collected through literature review, then classified based on the type of jinas and analyzed in terms of phonetics and their meaningful role. The results show that there are ten forms of jinas divided into five types: perfect jinas, imperfect jinas, reverse jinas, compound jinas, and the most dominant type, derivational jinas. The dominance of derivational jinas indicates that poets frequently utilize the same root words to create a fast rhythm and strong musical effect in the text. This study suggests that the study of jinas be expanded to other literary texts, particularly oral works rich in sonic diversity. Future research is also expected to compare the function of jinas in classical and modern poetry to understand the development of sound aesthetics in Arabic literature.
