بعض ملامح نحو النص في كتاب دلائل الإعجاز لعبد القاهر الجرجاني

Abstract EN

This study investigates Abdalqahir Aljurjani’s efforts in his book: Dala´il al-I´jaz.

The intent here is to demonstrate some aspects of text unintentionally written in his book.

His views are deemed as protoprecursor to what is called nowadays text grammar, textology, text linguistics, or discourse analysis.

His tackling of various topics such as discourse and context, connection and disconnection, reference anaphora ,connection with the definite, relative and reiteration , fronting and back warding, and ellipsis can be considered as contents of contemporary text grammar.

This study concludes that his views are in the care of this realm of inquiry.

It highlights that he excels the ancient grammarians whose mission was focused on setting grammatical rules for the sentence being independent from the other sentences; that is, he takes into consideration the context where utterances and sentences occur and the extent of their consistency with that context.

He proceeds to demonstrate the relations which connect them to each other.

In addition, he confirmed the listener’s attitude in linking sententeces by viewing discourse from that attitude; which meets with what modern grammarians have gone for, such as those interested in text grammar.
