أثر البادية في اشتقاق المصطلح النقدي الشعري في كتاب "قواعد الشعر" لثعلب

Abstract EN

This study aimed at investigating the impact of Badia (the desert life) on the derivation of critical terms in the book "Rules of Poetry" by Abu Al- Abbas Thaalab (died 291 H).

His book has a lot of terms that seem to be inspired by the Bedouin environment such as hose describing horses.

Reflecting on these critical terms, it can be noticed that they fall in two categories.

The first includes terms created by Thalab to study poetry in terms of genres, subjects, and aspects.

Examples of such terms are Muaddalah, Al AGhur, Al Muhajalah, Al Muwaddahah, and Al Murajalah.

The second category includes old terms identified by previous Arab critics.

Thalab referred to such terms and defined them in the same way as his predecessors.

Sometimes, he redefined some terms according to his own perception.
