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.
