- Title
EVOLUTIONS TOWARDS A THEORY OF NON-TROPICAL METAPHOR IN ARAB PHILOLOGICAL THOUGHT.
- Authors
Pietrăreanu, Ovidiu
- Abstract
The present paper deals with the emergence of views on Literary Arabic favoring a diachronically oriented approach. The material dealt with is provided by two authors, the Lebanese writer Ğirğī Zaydān and the Palestinian professor Mahdī 'Asead eArār, whose aim is to raise awareness about the developments witnessed by the vocabulary of Literary Arabic (lexical expansion and semantic evolution) and also to present some theoretical perspectives meant to accommodate these facts. The aspects we arc concentrating on concern the place ascribed to concepts pertaining to traditional Arabic philology and the part they play in modeling the accounts given by the authors on the phenomena they wish to highlight.
