The role of the indefinite rhetoric in the non-extreme attribution of the letters of Nahj al-Balaghah as a model

Abstract

The indefinite objects and their purposes were studied within the science of meanings, and the rhetoricians focused on the two ends of the attribution and their purposes, which are (singularity, generality, glorification, denigration, reduction and multiplication, type, and specification), while they restricted the role of the indefinite to non-two ends of the attribution (object, dative and adverb) with only three purposes ( Exaltation, humiliation, intimidation), so the research aims that the general purposes of the indefinite are present in non-extreme parts of the isnad and are not limited to the three purposes, and contribute to strengthening the semantics of the text and clarifying its purposes and goals. On the different purposes of the indefinite, and how these purposes contributed to strengthening the intent of the text rhetorically, according to this the study traced the messages of the approach analytically descriptively inductively to reveal the role of the indefinite rhetorically, and the research concluded that the indefinite came expressing its different purposes in non-extreme attributions, which equals its role with the two ends of the attributions The context came once to express its purpose, and again the word's significance came to express this purpose, which contributed to strengthening the connotations of messages and their rhetorical purposes for the recipient.
