الحجاج و إنتاج المعنى في رسائل الجاحظ

Abstract EN

In its descriptive and analytical approach, this study aims to trace the mental process of meaning production, with the argumentation being the most complex productive process amongst human creative processes in the production of meaning, in terms of their varying levels of creativity and innovation; because argumentation does not produce a new reality out of nothing, but rather it is based on the demolition of a fact, and- in return- it produces a new reality.

Regardless of Al-Jahiz’s Mu’tazili method, the purpose of this study is not to venerate these methods, but rather to study the mental method in the area of the argument for him and present it in such a way that affects the recipient and his response, either in support or in opposition.

The study is divided into three chapters that are mutually supportive to clarify the policy of Al-Jahiz discourse in the production of the argumentative meaning.

The first of them is concerned with the epistemology of the argumentative discourse and its methodology, the second seeks to reveal the semiology of the arguments and its connotations, and the last one deals with the ideology of the argumentative discourse.
