آليات الخطاب الحجاجي في قصة موسى والسّامري الواردة في سورة طه

Abstract

Research on rhetoric focuses on linguistic techniques that contribute to persuading and influencing the audience through the diversification of discourse and consideration of its context. It relies on rational thinking, proof, and compelling arguments based on inference and demonstration to achieve its objectives. Quranic discourse has adopted the methods of rhetoric, deduction, debate, and persuasion; thus, these methods are comprehensive and diverse, leaving no aspect—great or small—of true rhetoric and effective persuasion unaccounted for or unused. In this study, we seek to examine the mechanisms of rhetorical discourse in the story of Moses, peace be upon him, and the Samaritan. and this story is distinguished by its linguistic structure, rich with communicative elements that engage in dialogue, narrate, inquire, decide, affirm, and prove—all of which are persuasive rhetorical tools evident in this story, using a descriptive-analytical approach. Among the most notable findings are: rhetorical techniques play a role in the process of human communication and serve a communicative-rhetorical function consisting of a sender, a recipient, and a message. As for rhetorical devices, they play a role in persuading the recipient and are an influential element in rhetorical discourse.
