This article aims to determine the specificity of the notion of taḫyīl in ʿAbd al-Qāhir al-Ǧurǧānī’s (d. 471/1078) work. We will attempt to define this rhetorical device and explain the rhetorician’s interest in it. Taḫyīl consists in taking a word or sentence used in a figurative sense, in its literal sense. Although this definition is well-known, it remains uncertain in many respects (what is its decisive criteria? Is it a figure?). To answer these questions, it is necessary to take into account the ethico-rhetorical frame of the question of the taḫyīl in al-Ǧurǧānī’s work. It is first determined as a rhetorical misuse resulting from a deceptive syllogism, and then as a specificity of poetry: indeed, taḫyīl is not to be blamed only in poetry. We will show that taḫyīl should not be considered as a figure but as a topos (literally a “place,” in Aristotelian rhetoric) used to overemphasize one’s statement, i.e. to provide an excess of the assertion (mubālaġa fī l-iṯbāt).

本文旨在确定塔布依尔（ʿābdal-Qāhiral-Ǧurǧānī）（卒于471/1078）作品中的概念的特殊性。我们将尝试定义这种修辞手段，并解释修辞学家对它的兴趣。Taḫyīl的意思是从字面意义上取一个比喻意义上使用的词或句子。尽管此定义是众所周知的，但在许多方面仍不确定（其决定性标准是什么？是数字吗？）。要回答这些问题，有必要考虑到al-Ǧurǧānī作品中taīyīl问题的伦理修辞框架。它首先被确定为是由于欺骗性的三段论而引起的修辞滥用，然后被确定为诗歌的特殊性：的确，tayīl不要只在诗歌中受到指责。我们将证明，taḫyīl不应该被看作是一个数字，但作为TOPOS（亚里士多德修辞名副其实的“地方”）用来过分强调一个人的说法，即提供过量的断言（mubālaġaFI 1-iṯbāt）。
