A Grammatical Argumentations, through The Debate Between grammar and logic. Abū Sa‘īd al-Sīrāfī and Abū Bishr Mattā ibn Yūnus al-Qunnā’ī. facus

Abstract

In this paper, I examine the logic of language (informal logic) which is being present in literary discourse when trying to persuade or to seek persuasion. Since life is full of communication and dialogue between a source and a recipient, a linguistic or rhetorical solution has become necessary for every attempt at persuasion, victory, demolition, refutation or, at least, influence in the other. Is there in the literary heritage what confirms the convergence between the logic of language and the language of logic, or between a gramatical argumentations and reason? Is there a functional interaction between the links of Argumentations in construction and demolition?
