This textual study aims at revealing the effectiveness of
argumentation in structuring the poetic text. The study discusses two
basic dimensions in this regard: first, the theoretical dimension that will
identify the concept of argumentation in Ar
istotle's poetics, Arabic
lexicon and the traditional Arabic Rhetorical discourse. This dimension
will also discuss the different views given by argumentation scholars in
modern poetics. Finally, it will describe the relationship between
argumentation and culture, especially in cultural studies.
The second dimension is the practical one in which Al – Ra'i Al-
Numairi's (Daliah) will be taken as a model because of being a political
text. This text is made up of four paratexts: distance and discrepancies of
events, the extra-ordinary adventure and the consequences of the
unknown the revolutionary self and the worrying nighttime, and the
blaming female and the rebellions male.
All these paratexts together provide clues about argumentative
writing that clarifies the confusion in the relationship between Al – Ra'i
Al - Numairi who represents the oppressed and the Ommayad authority
represented by the caliph Abdul Malik Bin Marwan.
