Abstract :

The impact of gender on language and thought of the authors is one of the serious strategies in linguistic studies that appeared in the late twentieth century by Robin Lycoff, American scholar, known as DSL theory. According to this theory, speech and writing features of two genders can be distinguished and examined. In this article poetic styles of Fadwa tuqan and her brother, Ibrahim, is studied according to the theoretical frameworks, in order to show that despite of the genetic, familial, social and cultural affinities, even in the study of a single topic, there are differences between male and female languages. Based on this theory, we chose fragments of the poems from these two contemporary Palestinian poet on shahid (martyred) topic, and we examined them from linguistic and intellectual dimensions. In addition, in this research by a descriptive-analytic approach we reached to this conclusion that Fadwa tuqan poems compared to his brother has linguistic elements of the feministic writing style, such as repetition, concentration and to a great extent, interrogation. Though martyred topic does not entail use of different colors, their poems typically enjoy limited use of colors. Therefore, we can conclude that the poetess used these formations in the case of her brother's weakness, As the reflection of ambiguous speech and hypothetical expressions in the poems of Fadawi is  more than that of Ibrahim, we notice that in the intellectual dimension, the poet compared to her brother, paid more attention to details, precision and showing emotions.
