the symmetric correlation in understanding meaning from the viewpoint of tammam hassan: a new theory or a reflection of predecessors’ ideas

different symmetries play a role in understanding the meaning of a sentence. syntacticians have been aware of this issue and have used a variety of symmetries in their analyses. when the arabic syntax became familiar with the aristotelian logic and received some philosophical issues, most of the syntacticians focused upon the arabic symmetry and few attentions were directed towards other symmetries and this led to the idea of naming the science of syntax as an arabic science. in the current era, some people, by considering this issue, have attempted to find a new analysis and knowledge of effective symmetries in understanding the meaning. tammam hassan, by presenting the theory of symmetric correlation in understanding meaning, has intended to pay attention to all symmetries without considering any differences between them. he introduces eight verbal and five semantic symmetries which in an integrated way convey the meaning to the readers/audience. the present paper attempts to introduce this theory and by determining its place in the scientific community presents a new approach in examining the text, an approach which assigns a role for all symmetries in understanding meaning. this theory is a reflection of different and unorganized symmetries in syntactic books especially hazem qartajanni and abdolghaher gorgani’s ideas which enabled tammam hassan to classify them and present his own ideas
