Arabic rhetoric in the light of artificial intelligence from a descriptive and analytical perspective

Abstract

Rhetoric is a branch of language concerned with highlighting the aesthetics of expression and the effectiveness of discourse, whether poetry or prose. It is a science based on complex mental skills such as understanding context, employing metaphor, and the ability to psychologically and emotionally influence the recipient. With the development of natural language processing (NLP) and deep learning techniques, artificial intelligence (AI) applications have emerged capable of generating rhetorical texts, analyzing discourse patterns, and even performing texts in a human-like manner in terms of tone, rhythm, and intonation. Research faces a problem that is perhaps new and not ancient: How can such traditional Arabic sciences as Arabic rhetoric be compatible with the mechanisms of artificial intelligence, which today overlap with all theoretical and applied sciences? When can we preserve the essence of the fundamentals of Arabic rhetoric while leveraging AI strategies in light of these modern developments? And how can AI contribute to the study and analysis of rhetoric? Can he simulate or analyze traditional rhetorical arts?
