Pragmatics examines how context helps in understanding meaning. Therefore, its concept is not limited to the speaker's communicative actions but also includes the effects that meaning has on the receiver within social interactions. The scope of pragmatics involves the applied study of the Arabic language and represents an objective approach to interpreting and understanding texts by linking linguistic contexts to their functions and purposes. In this regard, it focuses on meaning, context, the necessity of speech acts between sentences, and their communicative implications. Numerous linguistic and critical studies have been conducted that attempt to analyze the structure of literary texts and their syntactic features through various methods and approaches, especially pragmatic analysis. On the other hand, metaphor possesses both communicative and artistic dimensions, whose analytical aspects are derived based on conceptual variables that stem from changes in linguistic meaning. These communicative and artistic capacities — appropriate to speech situations — do not originate from simple or literal expression. This research seeks to explore the artistic manifestations of metaphor and uncover its rhetorical and communicative secrets. The study also emphasizes the necessity of analyzing metaphor as one form of linguistic function within its communicative dimension, moving away from the restrictive traditional approach. Furthermore, pragmatic study within the real framework of language provides an application of metaphors free from stereotypes, ensuring that they do not lose their dynamic and functional flexibility in relation to the intended meaning.
