إِشكَاليّاتُ المُصطَلَح العَرُوضِيِّ بينَ القَديمِ وَالحَدِيث

Abstract

This research attempted to shed light on the most important issues; that are problematic, concerning prosody science and its terminology, explaining the real reasons why there is such density and complexity in it. We also sought to determine terminology emergence and its effects on the prosody science and its reception, as well as we were able to know that the Arab prosody scholars were aware of such problems and its danger, yet they would merely mention that just in few lines without going any further. It was this (superficial –partial) awareness that allow recent researchers to offer some suggestions to simplify and reduce the amount of prosodic terminology. After we had represented and scrutinized some of these suggestions, we realized that there are some defects and contradictions; that is why it remains unachievable, yet it gives a push to solve the most serious problems concerning prosodic terminology; such as multiplicity, strangeness and the mixture of word definitions.
