Abstract

This study investigates the use of lamentation in Arabic and English literature through the use of two poems: the English one is by Clark (1990), "A Lament to the Lord, "and the Arabic one is by Ibn Thabit (11 AH), "Tayba." The study aims at discovering differences and similarities in the use of lamentation and its types in the two poems and how it is employed in Arabic and English. To achieve the objectives of the study, the researcher has employed Searle model (1990). For the data of analysis, the researcher has used quantitative and qualitative methods. The results of the study show that the most frequent types of lamentation are assertive and commisive in English poems, while the most common type is the declarative type in Arabic poems.
