<P>Rhetoric is the flesh and blood of the Arabic language. It is a linguistic means to a pragmatic end. It is a discipline that aims to sharpen up the linguistic skills of speaking and writing. Rhetoric in Arabic illuminates the bridge between syntax and semantics and shows how linguistics, pragmatics, and aesthetics overlap. <br><br><i>Arabic Rhetoric </i>provides an interesting chronological historical account of the birth and development of Arabic rhetorical studies starting from pre-Islamic period to the 21st century. As the present book provides the stylistic mechanisms of Arabic, it can, therefore, be a vital source for learning Arabic as a foreign language as it explains the skilful weaving of Arabic sentences and the stylistic tools needed for effective Arabic discourse. This book is a vital source for contrastive linguistics and literary studies between Arabic and other languages. The tools for contrastive linguistics are available in chapter 4 that deals with the grammar-based theory of word order |
