Studying the quality and meaning of expression in Arabic and Western thought
Abstract
The issues in ancient Arabic criticism are multiple and unique, and have generated much ink, and their topics are still fertile for research and study. Perhaps the issue of word and meaning - the subject of this research - remains one of the most important problems or issues that have occupied Arab critics. This is due to the difference in viewpoints that has occurred around it between those who are fanatical about wording and argue for it, and those who see nothing but meaning as something worthy of interest, and a third group in the middle, trying to reconcile the first opinion with the second opinion.
