معالم نحو النص في التراث العربي ( النقد و البلاغة و التفسير )

Abstract

This memorandum sheds light This study explores the topic “Aspects of Syntax in Classical Arabic Texts – Rhetorical, Critical, and Exegetical Perspectives”, by investigating the conceptual and methodological foundations of what is known today as “Textual Grammar” (or Text Linguistics) within the Arab linguistic heritage. The research aims to show how classical Arabic scholarship, particularly in the fields of rhetoric, literary criticism, and Quranic exegesis, contributed to the early development of analyzing texts as cohesive units beyond the sentence level, despite the absence of the modern term. The study is divided into two main parts:  A theoretical section that outlines the basic concepts of text linguistics, and highlights the fundamental distinctions between sentence grammar and text grammar.  An applied section that investigates manifestations of text grammar in the works of major classical scholars such as Abd al- Qahir al-Jurjani (in rhetoric), Hazm al-Qartajanni (in literary criticism), and classical Quranic exegetes. The research concludes that text grammar, although a modern linguistic term, has deep roots in the Arabic linguistic and intellectual tradition, evidenced by a sophisticated understanding of textual cohesion, coherence, and contextual relations. The study emphasizes the importance of further research in this field to bridge traditional Arabic linguistic thought with contemporary approaches in discourse and text analysis.
