Abstract

The writer in this article has evaluated Tabrisi’s method against literature and syntax. According to this research, following features are seen in the syntactic discussion of “Majma’ al-Bayan”: 1. Abundance of syntactic arguments, 2. Deduction of theories and viewpoints, 3. Analysis of  statements according to the Qur’an’s special culture, 4. Modest Impressionability from ideological presuppositions, 5. Reasoning by prose and poetical evidence. Giving various examples, the writer studies and proves the above features. In the end, he deals with the independence of Tabrisi’s literary personality in confrontation with the viewpoints of literary figures and grammarians, and states some of Tabrisi’s evaluative criteria.
