استلهام التراث البلاغي الغربي في التأصيل المعرفي لنظرية البلاغة الجديدة

Abstract EN

The epistemological foundation of Perelman and Tytecca's theory of the new rhetoric is based on several theoretical postulates, the most important of which are: the anchoring of the theory in the Greek rhetorical heritage through the positive distinction between argumentation and demonstration, and the exclusion of the Cartesian rejection of knowledge produced apart from the so-called strictly demonstrative sciences.

In conjunction with that , the extension of the field of study to all useful communicative discourses.

Then comes the revalorization of classical European rhetoric, through the rediscovery of its argumentative potential, and the revision of the classification of its notions accordingly, so that this rhetoric is rehabilitated after being denigrated for too long.

The third postulate is the strictly linguistic dimension that the two researchers imposed on the analysable discourses of their theory.

Extra linguistic phenomena, such as gestures, intonation, and others, are excluded.

The present article aims to identify these postulates and analyze them from the point of view of the Arab receiver interested in the debate around rhetoric and argumentation.
