Abstract
This study investigates the wide-spread use of violent language in both Arabic and English societies. The study concentrates on the violent language of the well-educated poets. A key assumption in the study is that poets justify their use of such language in one way or another. The research depends on the theoretical aims and methods of discourse historical approach which concentrates largely on critical discourse analysis (CDA). It refers largely to Wodak’s (2001) discourse-historical study on the analysis of the Fpö petition ”Austria first”. This research, therefore, takes a discourse historical approach (DHA) to discourse and the data, an approach which is interested in how poets, as a dominant -#103;-#114;-#111;-#117;-#112; in society, misuse their power and use argumentation strategies to justify their use of violent language that affected the language of the whole society. As DHA provides interdisciplinary angles on linguistics, some pragmatic and literary concepts are used. The research provides a quantitative analysis of violent words and phrases that are found in every poem of the data to clarify the percentage of violent language in the whole data. -#102;-#114;-#111;-#109; this intensive analysis it is found out that poets use many means to justify their violent language and this usage of violent language has nothing to do neither with gender nor age.
