حوار الصاهل والشاحج: مقاربة حجاجية

Abstract EN

This is an argument study of the dialogue by Al-Sahel and Al-Shahej.

It explores the features of rhetorical reasoning in the speech of both Al-Sahel and Al-Shahij.

These names are considered the most prominent personalities of Abu Al-Ala'a Al-Ma'arri's letter to Aziz Al-Dawla who was the governor of Aleppo.

The current study also studies the nature of the arguments used by each of these two figures including the deductive and the inductive ones.

It also reveals the rhetorical method in use which is considered an effective tool of persuasion.

The study shows Abu Al-Ala's ability to distinguish the voices of his narrative characters in language and argument.

Despite the similarity in the nature of the language of Al-Sahel and Al-Shahej, there is a clear differentiation in the nature of the arguments produced by them.
