الزمخشري و مذهبه في الاستشهاد بالشعر من خلال كتابه" الكشاف

Abstract EN

This paper studies the topic of the use of poetry as evidence with reference to Elzamakhshary in his book “Alkashaf” The paper aims at focusing on Elzamakhshary’s doctrine in this use of poetry as evidence, in which he crossed time and place boundaries recognized by other linguists and grammarians.

The research indicated later poets whom Elzamakhshary used them to support his argument in his book “Alkashaf”, for instance “Abi Tammam, Abi Firas” and other poets who are not relevant to the specified circle of evidence among other grammarians and linguistic scholars.

This paper follows the analytical descriptive method in the investigation of Alkashaf poetic evidence, then showing statistic numbers of poetic evidence in different generations of poets among them the later poets, in order to stablish a clear vision of this new method of Alzamakhshary.

The research compares between the method of Alzamakhshary and the method of other scholars to find out that Alzamakhshary is the first one to use the works of later poets as evidence in grammar and syntax, a method followed by other scholars of old and new generations of linguist and grammarian scholars.
