Abstract

The research addresses the issue of the relationship between the word and the meaning in Arabic rhetoric, as it confirms that the system is not limited to the arrangement of words only, but also includes the organization of meanings and coordination of connotations. It explains that people's differences in their appreciation of speech are due to their ability to perceive this system.


The research discusses the opinions of rhetoricians about the priority of the word or the meaning, as some of them see that the word is the most important, while others go to the equality of the two in value. The researcher cites the sayings of Ibn Tabataba, who believes that speech without meaning is like a body without a soul. He also explains that the context plays an important role in determining the meaning of words, so that each word must be consistent with the context in which it appears.


The research cites Quranic verses as evidence of the harmony of the conclusion of the verses with their context, indicating that the Holy Quran provides new visions for addressing intellectual, social and psychological issues. It also explains the role of justice in legal texts, such as the command to establish justice even if it is against oneself or relatives.


The research concludes that achieving correct eloquence lies in the balance between the word and the meaning, taking into account the context and human values
