ثنائية الدال والمدلول بين التعليل والاعتباطية: كتاب الخصائص لابن جني أنموذجا

Abstract EN

The aim of the research is to study a linguistic issue, which took from the efforts of linguists, ancient and modern, a large part of their research, which is the issue of the relationship of sounds as functions and words, with meanings as connotations.

most linguists in ancient Arabic linguistics preferred to say the natural link between the signifier and its signifier, because they saw in the Arabic language features that rarely meet with other languages, so this belief prompted them to cherish it, and for this they began to seek the meanings of sounds, and to try to interpret them and to find a moral occasion by which they justify the association and compatibility of the sounds of words with their meanings, so their opinion was a theory based on the explanation of the link the signifier is indicative, and the best of such a trend is Ibn jinni in his book “al-Khassas.

” in addition to this perspective, there is a group that said that the words and their sounds are not suitable for the.

learned meanings, and that the relationship between them is arbitrary, and cannot be included under proof, reasoning, argument or evidence.
