The mechanisms of evidences in the book "Alfrooq alloghawyah"by Abu Hilal Al-Askari (395 AH) "The first chapter is an example".

Abstract

The argumentative discourse is the central focus in communicating ideas and proving objectives in the mind of the recipient, as it has an effective impact on persuading others, being a conscious attempt by the speaker to influence the recipient, then make him to adopt an opinion, The book “Linguistic Differences” by Abu Hilal Al-Askari has received the attention of many researchers and scholars, and they studied it with different contextual and textual approaches, but the pragmatic approach represented by the evidences did not have a chance of these studies, despite it appears clearly in this text,  Al-Askari sought to prove his opinion on the issue of synonymy by applying a number of evidences, using factors and linguistic links with argumentative concept, and evidence derived from various persuasive subjects, Hence, this research aims to shed light on this book by choosing the first chapter as an example in an attempt to approach the different argumentative mechanisms that Al-Askari employed to be able to influence and persuade the recipient.

To achieve these goals, the study was divided into a preface and two sections, the first of which is to apply the pragmatic analysis of argumentative mechanisms to the Al-Askari's discourse according to Decroux theory, and in it:(Links,argumentative factors - argumentative peace – and Speech acts) while the second is to shed light on the means that the Al-Askari used to support his ideas and establish his intentions and in it:(evidence - values - credibility - analogy).
