Category:Sentence Construction & Syntactical Stylistics (‘ilm al-ma‘ānī)

    From The Encyclopedia of Arabic Rhetoric

    The rules of Arabic grammar dictate the normal syntax of Arabic constructions. The communicator must depart from the expected grammatical syntax ((ikhrāj al-kalām ʿalā khilāf muqtaḍā al-ẓāhir)) in order to exert a rhetoric effect, emphasis, or nuance.[1]
