Features of the 'Text Production Proficiency' in The Arabic Linguistic Heritage

This study aims to clarify the notion of 'text production proficiency' and its significance in facilitating recipients' comprehension. It aligns with contemporary textual standards while also highlighting its adherence to the principles outlined in the Arabic linguistic heritage. Moreover, it demonstrates that the term proficiency', despite its modern usage, has been indicated in the heritage of Arabic linguistics through various synonyms and diverse methods, all of which contribute to the overall concept of 'text production proficiency'. As a result, the research has identified four criteria essential for achieving textual proficiency: grammatical, lexical, semantic, and phonetic. These criteria validate that Classical Arabic scholars have mentioned this concept across all Arabic arts. Furthermore, the findings suggest that what modern linguists have stated is an extension of the work of their predecessors, emphasizing the unity of Arabic sciences (classical and modern). The interconnectedness and overlap of these sciences contribute to the attainment of text proficiency. It is worth noting the recent efforts of text linguists in accurately codifying and refining the terminology.
