Weakness of Authorship in Grammatical and Rhetorical Studies

Weakness of Authorship in Grammatical and Rhetorical Studies. I dealt with the subject of weakness of authorship from ancient and modern grammatical studies and rhetorical studies and explained the differences in the definitions of weak authorship by rhetoricians. I concentrated on the examples which the rhetoricians use in their books. It is the reference of the pronoun by explaining its divisions, and clarifying the grammarians’ point of view on it, and explaining its opposition to what the rhetoricians held, using the descriptive and comparative method in the study. The research is divided into an introduction that I made into two sections. I defined rhetoric in the first section and the weakness of authorship in the second one. There are other four sections. In the first section, I dealt the pronoun reference by giving examples in the Arabic Language. I mentioned in the second section the evidences for the possibilities of the relation of the reference pronoun with the object of the subject in the cases of grammatical books, and paraphrasing its cases. In the a third section, I discussed the schools of grammarians and rhetoricians. For instance, (daraba ghoulamaho Zaydan)He hit his servant Zayd. Does his description mean weak authorship or is not allowed in the language. In the last section, other examples of the weakness of authorship in the books of the late rhetoricians were presented, and then I concluded the research by mentioning the results I could obtain.
