Abstract

The study of rhetorical artistic imagery is one that aims to understand how language is used creatively and rhetorically to convey emotions and ideas in impactful and engaging ways. This involves examining how rhetorical images, such as similes and metaphors, are used to convey deep meanings or to depict certain situations in a different light. It also explores the use of contrast in words or ideas to highlight meaning or generate an artistic effect, as well as the use of repetition and linguistic balance to give the text an impactful rhythm or to emphasize a certain meaning. Additionally, the analysis includes how metaphors in language add depth and meaning to the subject and how sound and words in literary or rhetorical texts—such as sound manipulation or phonetic repetition—enhance the text’s impact. This research refers to the analysis and understanding of rhetorical artistic imagery in the poetry of Hafiz Chiroma Kabara kano, focusing on how the poet uses these devices to express his thoughts and feelings in different artistic and aesthetic ways such as simile, metaphor, and allegory, and demonstrating how these techniques are used to enhance meaning or influence the reader or listener.
