Abstract

The argumentative theory seeks to reveal the means that operate in the language which has the effect of persuading the addressee (the recipient) and attracting him to what the addressee tends. This theory finds that the discourse contains a persuasive aspect, even if it is hidden. One of these methods is metonymy that the ancients used in language at all levels. Today, we take it from the point of view of argument to perform the task of attracting the attention of the recipient and convincing him of what is presented to him. It is through it the souls can be revealed and try to persuade others. The metonymy represents one of the technical means that possess expressive capabilities that enriches the meaning and raises it using a sound way in which it leaves the feature of presence and increases both persuasion and influence. The research originated its roots in the theoretical aspect of the most recent quotations of argument and rhetoric in ancient times. It comes as an application to reveal the use of metonymy as arguments in Shawqis poetry selecting samples of his poetry in the form of poems or verses or stanzas that highlight the basic idea of the text. The effect of metonymy which is used in his poetry is one of the means of persuasion.
