الترديد الإسمي في نماذج من آيات القرآن الكريم

الملخص EN

Recurrence (also known as repetition) is one of the rhetorical techniques that depend essentially upon form repetition.

Recurrence refers to the signifier’s form that is related to the meaning of the signified, which occurs in either a verse, a prose, or a Quranic text without specification, and then the same form (signifier) is repeated but relates to another signified.

The two signifiers are the same in the surface and deep structure, but their two signified are different in the aforementioned structures.

Ancient rhetoricians mentioned this rhetorical style in different names.

Ibn Rashiq Al-Qairawani was the first to designate it as recurrence (Tardeed).

Then Ibn Abi Al-Isbi’i elaborated in the style, and his definition was like a reference for those prominent rhetoricians who came afterwards.

Recurrence (AKA Tardeed in Arabic) is not the only term for this rhetorical style, but it was designated by other terms.

The first who mentioned it was Ibn Al-Mu’ataz under the title (Raddul I’ijaz 3ala ma taqaddamaha) and classified it as a chapter among the five chapters of rhetoric.

Afterwards, rhetoricians elaborated regarding its names and types, and then it was differentiated from the other rhetorical techniques, but was conflated by others.

It is worth mentioning that some ancient rhetoricians excluded it from the other rhetorical techniques considering it useless, one of which is Ibn Hujja Al-Hamawi.

Whereas contemporary rhetorical and critical studies envisage recurrence as a technique which has an obvious capacity to organise and develop semantics in a stylistic pattern.

Therefore, its structure consists of two levels: surface and deep.

The surface level is represented in two or more recurred (repeated) signifiers, just as in the deep level.

However, the difference between these recurred signifiers is attributable to the difference in the territory on which the signifier exerts its activity and extends it to a wide area of formulation.
