This research addresses the conjunctions in the poetry of Jassim Muhammad Jassim Al-Ajja in light of transformational-generative grammar theory. The study includes several poetic examples from the poet's two collections, "A Sky That Does Not Title Its Clouds" and "Impositions for the Fingers of Grass." Jassim Muhammad Jassim Al-Ajja's poetry was chosen for this study because, to my knowledge, it has not been the subject of recent linguistic analysis. Furthermore, the poet is considered one of the most prominent contemporary poets in the Mosul poetry scene, blending creative poetic work with academic critical work, which has resulted in a rich linguistic expression. His poetry is abundant with many elements of conjunctions, the focus of this research and study. This study aims to unveil the essence of this poet's work and to analyze his poetry according to modern linguistic methodologies, particularly the transformational-generative approach. The research examines conjunctions in the poet's work in light of the key hypotheses of transformational-generative grammar, specifically the deep structure and surface structure hypotheses, which posit that every surface structure has an underlying mental deep structure. The research is divided into an introduction and two sections. The introduction discusses the poet's life, his poetry collections, his critical writings, and the academic studies written about him. The first section addresses transformational-generative theory in terms of its philosophical roots and stages, while the second section explores conjunctions in light of our theory under investigation. The research concludes with a summary of the most significant findings derived from the study.
