Abstract
This research sought to examine the term of proportion- ality in' sir Al- Fassaha Book' of Ibn Sinan AL- Khafaji the on three core. The first core examined the proportionality of isolated words , the second core examined the words in context and the third core examined the proportionality in meaning .
This resesrch concluded a study of the term proportionality in "Sirr Al- fassaha Book " of Ibn Sinan Al- khafaji on the following three cores: The First core examined proportionality in isolated words concentrating on their purity by freeing them of the defects which make them inadequate, rigid, hard on hearing, informal, weird, uncivilized and not confoming with linguistic rules and skillful words. The second core examined words in context. In this core Ibn Sinan was careful to make the properties of classical isolated words as properties of words in context, including non – repletion; using words in their correct places; non – inversion of words; non – repetition in composition; keeping a way from tautology, extravagance and exaggeration; good composition to conform with letters and words and convenient phrases. The third core examined proportionality in meanings. Ibn Sinan stated that words could be obscure to the recipient in regard to meanings. There are properties of meanings which should be available such as correctness, perfectness and avoiding what may cause discredit. He stated that correctness implies correction of division, descriptions, purposes, comparison, ordering and good extrication.
The researcher discussed all these cores suppoting his technical point of view and giving poetic examples. The researcher concluded that the effect of poetry is accomplished through the combination of all the components and constituents of the creative process. Ibn Sinan was careful to draw the attention of the composer to consider the class status of the trcepient. He urged him to create a polite way of addressing that suits his status as well as suitability and proportionality between the topic and the listener's psychology.
