اللغة عند مصطفى ناصف دراسة وتقييم

Language represents a decisive index of great interest in Mustafa Nasif ‘s writings. In his critical approach he devotes several chapters to give an in-depth view about language and related issues. The author deems that life with all its forms ranging from political to sociocultural intervenes in having great impacts on ways of using language by its people and ways language use is seen by non-native speakers. According to him, the sociocultural encounters may, through time, generate new forms of language as well as novel expressions. Namely, through quotidian use of language, the latter can either possess more simplified forms or rather more complicated structures that in themselves can cause further implications of comprehension hardships. Out of realizing the primal intentions of the author, the current paper intends to delve into the realm of analyzing the discourse of Nasif in his writings and through which spread the sphere of study related to literature and linguistic aspirations. The work will allot space to debate the aesthetic language design in the works of the author and its influence on the message encoded in the linguistic forms. A special attention will be shed throughout the article to differing views about language in the literary discourse as seen by ancient and contemporary authors on equal footing.
