Abstract

Today about the manner of applying the inheritance of  old eloquence in academic circles, there is a difference of opinion among researchers. Some of them believe in laying aside this rhetorical inheritance and following the new western eloquence. The other group believes old eloquence should become the basis and new findings of linguistics and  stylistics should be ultilized and a communication between both of them should be established. The book "Al Benyat Al Motehavelat fi Albelaghat Al Arabia"written by Osameh Al Bohayri tries to use the second view to make a bridge between old eloquence  and new findings of western lingual and  rhetorical. This article extracts author 's perspective  by descriptive analytical method and then criticizesit Research  findings show that change  in Sakaki's classification, attention to exiting the necessity of appearance in rhetoric, attention to inner structure of text, proceeding with the role of the reader in deviation from norms and the prominence of norm-avoidance in contemporary literary discourse are the  most important features of the book. Numerous typing mistakes, choosing unsuitable fonts, not having a list of standards and poetries, are the most important defects of the book. In the introduction of book, the writer emphasizes that in his rhetorical analysis, he has adopted the text itself as a basis, but in the book there is no sign of adopting the text as a basis as a unit of rhetorical analysis.
