Abstract
This volume brings together twenty articles published between 1983 and 1997
and drawn, directly or indirectly, from the author’s doctoral dissertation
(1980) devoted to the opposition ḫabar/’inšā’ which in the Arabic
linguistic tradition is used to classify utterances. The articles are
divided into two parts. The first part, entitled “Arabic Linguistic
Tradition and Pragmatics” is itself divided into three sections. The first
section (“General Framework”) retraces the path of the transdisciplinary
category of inšā’ (“performative utterance” vs. ḫabar “assertive
utterance”) and the renewal brought by its appearance in the 7th/13th
century to the three orders of rhetoric, logic and grammar revealing, for
the latter, a great figure: the grammarian Raḍī al-dīn al-Astarābāḏī (d.
688/1289). The second section, after listing the various pragmatic elements
found in the work of the grammarian, provides some “detailed analyses”
thereof: delocutive verbs; deictics; presuppositions; pragmatic
connectives. The third section (“Sources”) presents some modern editions of
ancient unpublished texts refining previous analyses. The second part,
entitled “Arabic Linguistics and Pragmatics” is symmetrical to the first.
It no longer uses modern pragmatics to question the Arabic linguistic
tradition, but rather uses the Arabic linguistic tradition to question
modern pragmatics. In so doing it considers themes already discussed in the
first part, such as delocutive verbs or pragmatic connectives, as well as
some new ones: the maf‘ūl muṭlaq with an “enunciative” effect; negation;
interrogation.
