Abstract
This paper deals with an important topic of the contemporary textual linguistics and its associations on Arabic Syntax. It tries to rid the theoretical discourse of the textual linguistics of its condemnation of the linguistic heritage. The paper focuses first on transgression for being a pivotal issue in which the textual linguistics established its two most important theoretical approaches, namely (transgression of the sentence limits). The study, then, deals with the Arabian reaction facing these two approaches. The re-action started at the hands of Dr. Ahmad Mohammad Abdul-Radhi in his book Towards the Text: between Originality and Modernism, where he argues that Arabic syntax should be the syntax of speech rather than the sentence, through a view which aims at giving syntax its due of importance and in this concern he is against the label of transgression.
