المفهوم الآخر لمصطلح القياس النحوي

Abstract

Reasoning by analogy is one of the general principles of Arabic grammar; it is even the second after tradition. Analogy-which is primarily an inference-is the relation that exists between similar things. On his part Ali Abou El Makarimthinks that the concept of analogy has undergone a semantic evolution, which means that such concept has had a completely different meaning. This article tries to answer the question: what is this other concept, and what are the arguments in favor of such a thesis?
