In The Fragmentation Of Linguistic Discourse

Abstract

This research attempts to collect fragmentation and stereotype overlapping in several concepts and signs that take care of the concept of discourse، clarify its ambiguity and fill in the looseness in it، with the contrast of this term to its users from word، sentence and text to a contrast that combines juxtaposition and distance. The research was in several chapters: The first approached what scholars and critics tried to describe and clarify the process of communication between the originator and the recipient، and the framework of this communication and its social heritage and cultural horizons. The various fields of knowledge accompanying this term، and this chapter historically stopped at the early nineties and the most important names of researchers who shared their opinions. The second chapter dealt with three trends in discourse analysis، structuralism and pragmatics، and Lieberman’s article. In the third chapter، we built approaches to the concept of the text and its qualitative characteristics، the most important of which are the context، the term towards the sentence and towards the text، and the attempt by Bloomfield and Chomsky. The discussion ended in the fourth chapter about the text، its unity، the structure of its components، and the approaches to its definitions by the most important researchers and lastly، the urgent question about our Arab heritage and the steps of its intellectuals about the discourse of some of the notables of this heritage. We wanted this to be noted with results that reach the hoped-for.
