Abstract
Abstract This article examines the chapter on īhām (literary amphiboly) in Ḥadāʾiq al-Siḥr by Rashīd Vaṭvāṭ (d. 1182). Ḥadāʾiq, a treatise on stylistics with Persian and Arabic examples, is the oldest extant document to define īhām. Vaṭvāṭ's definition of īhām sheds light on the mechanism and function of this literary technique. This article argues that īhām, according to Vaṭvāṭ, operates through the creation of semantic fields and defamiliarization. Previous scholars who examined this chapter of Ḥadāʾiq, oblivious to this point, have made a number of misinterpretations. However, by analyzing the name he prefers for this figure of speech, the definition he gives, and the examples he cites to explain it, this article demonstrates that Vaṭvāṭ had this function of defamiliarization in mind.
摘要本文考察了拉什·d·Vaṭvāṭ (d. 1182)在《Ḥadā - iq al-Siḥr》中关于īhām(文学两栖学)的章节。Ḥadā是一部以波斯语和阿拉伯语为例的文体学专著，是现存最古老的定义īhām的文献。Vaṭvāṭ对īhām的定义揭示了这种文学技巧的机制和作用。本文认为，根据Vaṭvāṭ， īhām通过创建语义场和陌生化来运作。以前的学者在研究Ḥadā的这一章时，没有注意到这一点，他们做出了许多误解。然而，通过分析他对这一比喻所使用的名称、他给出的定义以及他引用的例子来解释它，本文证明了Vaṭvāṭ具有这种陌生化的功能。
