| Abstract | ||||
| As a branch of linguistics, founded by F. De Saussure, a great deal of research on Text Linguistics has been conducted. While linguistics studies utterances from a morphological, phonetic, syntactic and semantic perspective; Text Linguistics goes further to study the text or discourse.This research looks into ‘Amid the Hustle’ poem by Faruk Gouida, an Egyptian poet, and studies the indications, binaries and modalities that contributed, in a way or another, to the creation of a grand structure of the text under study. Such structure resulted in a new text that is consistent and in harmony with the original text. “Tension Structure”, from which multiple structures emerge, appears as the general structure of the text. All those structures are interconnected and work together within the text to create the new one.This study follows the structural approach that is interested in structures with full semantic implications. Structures are connected through the indications that form the sub-structures of the text, and, then, strengthen the bond between them so to come out with a structure that is textually comprehensive. Since the semiotic approach intersects with the structural approach, the researcher used both approaches at the same time. Moreover, the semiotic approach is interested in the symbolism of lexical items and analysis of locutionary acts, as they are of the text’s basic components through which readers/critics further understand the poet. | ||||
