Arabic and pragmatic language

Abstract

This volume brings together twenty articles published between 1983 and 1997 and drawn, directly or indirectly, from the author's doctoral dissertation (1980) devoted to the opposition ḫabar/'inšā' which in the Arabic linguistic tradition is used to classify utterances. The articles are divided into two parts. The first part, entitled "Arabic Linguistic Tradition and Pragmatics" is itself divided into three sections. The first section ("General Framework") retraces the path of the transdisciplinary category of inšā' ("performative utterance" vs. ḫabar "assertive utterance") and the renewal brought by its appearance in the 7th/13th century to the three orders of rhetoric, logic and grammar revealing, for the latter, a great figure: the grammarian Raḍī al-dīn al-Astarābāḏī (d. 688/1289). The second section, after listing the various pragmatic elements found in the work of the grammarian, provides some "detailed analyses" thereof: delocutive verbs; deictics; presuppositions; pragmatic connectives. The third section ("Sources") presents some modern editions of ancient unpublished texts refining previous analyses. The second part, entitled "Arabic Linguistics and Pragmatics" is symmetrical to the first. It no longer uses modern pragmatics to question the Arabic linguistic tradition, but rather uses the Arabic linguistic tradition to question modern pragmatics. In so doing it considers themes already discussed in the first part, such as delocutive verbs or pragmatic connectives, as well as some new ones: the maf'ūl muṭlaq with an "enunciative" effect; negation; interrogation.
