Characteristics of pragmatic thinking in Arabic rhetoric

Abstract

If pragmatics is the science of the use of language and is concerned with both the speaker and the interlocutor, the circumstances of communication, then Arabic rhetoric was not far from this concept. It is the science that studies the conversational relationship between the speaker and the addressee. Some of them even believed that Arabic rhetoric is pragmatic in its essence. And if pragmatics is the science of the use of language ,
rhetoric is knowing the language while using it .It is the art of telling, therefore the discourse of rhetoricians can be said to be about issues such as position, context, goals, info and structure, and parties to the conversation...
In fact, it is a pragmatic research that confirms that Arab rhetoricians practiced the pragmatic approach before it spread as a Western approach. In this sense, what we are looking for through this research dissertation is an attempt to read and approach Arabic rhetorical research from the point of view of pragmatic linguistics, after having raised the following problems and tried to answer them: What is the concept of both rhetoric and pragmatics?
Where is the pragmatic thinking reflected in Arab rhetoric ? Can Arab rhetoric be considered pragmatic ?What are the most important pragmatic themes found in Arab rhetorical research?Is it possible to develop the efforts of ancient Arabic rhetoricians to establish a pragmatic Arabic linguistic theory?
