The concept of literariness and its components is one of the most contentious issues in the field of literary criticism, which has yet to submit a definitive and specific definition, despite the efforts of many critics and literati; Adonis, a prominent Arab theorist, and critic, is one of the few critics who has been able to propound new theories about literariness. His views in this field have gone beyond the limited definition of poetry and have entered a broader field, literary theory. Therefore, in the present article, using the descriptive-analytical method, we have studied the concept of literariness and its components, this time from Adonis's point of view. What emphasizes the need for such research is that finding Adonis's special view on the subject of literariness and its components paves the way for a more accurate understanding of his poetic theory and highlights his unique position as a literary theorist. Thus, the purpose of the authors in this study is to explain the concept of literariness from the perspective of Adonis and to achieve this, we first explained the concept of literariness and its most components based on the opinions of Arab and Western critics then, by comparing these foundations, with the literary theories of Adonis, we tried to reach his literariness views. The results of the research indicate that Adonis, in his theory of literariness, uses the word poetry as an equivalent for literariness, and, like Western and Arabic critics, he has used literariness as a theory for reflection in the aesthetic judgments of the text. In addition, from his point of view, the writing stage is like a link between the first stage (oral) and the third stage (literary modernity) , and poetry at this stage becomes an open structure with many views.
