Characteristics Of Arabic Pragmatics Between Authenticity And Modernity A Comparative Study Between Rhetoric And Pragmatic Discourse - Abdul Qahir Al-Jurjani’s Theory Of Systems As A Model

Abstract

This research aims to draw a comparison between rhetorical studies and pragmatic discourse, highlighting the close relationship between the two. It also examines the linguistic currents that form the intellectual and scientific background for understanding linguistic activity in relation to the rhetorical themes practised by the speaker to communicate with the audience. Accordingly, the research poses several questions based on a comparative descriptive approach: To what extent is Arabic rhetoric related to pragmatic linguistic thought? What is the place of the theory of rhetorical systems within pragmatic discourse?
