The Pragmatic Purposes of Anastrophe in the Book Entitled “Nihayat El Ijaz Fi Drayat Al Iajaz” by Ar-Râzi and Dated 1210

(Badis Lehouimel)

Abstract

This article seeks to shed light on the issue of anastrophe, its impact on speech systems, and its consistency, in the book “Nihayat El Ijaz Fi Drayat Al Iajaz.” The article also attempts to uncover the most important pragmatic purposes of anastrophe according to the vision of Fakhr Ad-DînAr-Râzî (dated 1210). This is a concept that, like those put forward by other rhetoricians, surpassed what grammarians had said about the phenomenon, based on the idea of the meaning of grammar and the purposes of discourse. This idea intersects with pragmatic linguistics, especially with the theory of speech and intentionality, as we will show in the study. The purpose is to show that anastrophe in Arabic rhetoric shares properties with other speech structures that are formed according to the speaker’s intention and context. Thus, the rhetoricians surpassed the analyses of the Arab grammarians while also coming close to modern pragmatic analysis, which focuses on intentionality and the two types of context in the study of language.
