Pragmatics is a branch of modern linguistics that studies language in actual communicative contexts, focusing on speaker intentions, situational context, and communicative effects. Established by John Austin and developed by John Searle, who formulated a fivefold classification of speech acts, pragmatics became an analytical framework applicable to various discourses. This study adopted the descriptive-analytical approach, utilizing Searle's classification with a focus on commissive and expressive speech acts, to analyze the poem "The Martyr" by Palestinian poet Abdulrahim Mahmoud, aiming to uncover the communicative and performative dimensions of the poetic discourse. The study reached several key findings. The most prominent was the predominance of commissive speech acts, where the poet employed formulas of oath, promise, and commitment to produce a moral and psychological obligation in the recipient across existential, moral, and social levels, transforming the text into a performative document beyond artistic expression. The study also revealed a strong presence of expressive speech acts conveying feelings of pride, dignity, and aspiration to authority, building an emotional relationship with the recipient. The analysis uncovered a functional integration between both categories, forming a cohesive discourse moving from the subjective emotional dimension to the practical struggle dimension. The study demonstrated the viability of Searle's theory in analyzing Arabic poetic texts and its capacity to reveal performative dimensions absent from traditional approaches, filling a knowledge gap in Arabic pragmatic studies and opening new horizons for reading Palestinian resistance poetry from a pragmatic perspective.
