Title: Imitations as Rhetorical Tool and its Position into Literary InfluenceThis paper examines Arabic poetry imitations, mu‘āraḍāt , in the aspect of mu‘āraḍah definition and the aspect of its position in the literary influence and where it can be placed . Those two aspects are problematic because imitation , mu‘āraḍah , is differently conceived than what comes to mind when hearing the word imitation . The paper investigates those two aspects and examines eastern and western scholars ’ perspectives . It reaches a conclusion that imitation , mu‘āraḍah , is featured in admiration and desire to challenge , and that makes imitation , mu‘āraḍah , a rhetorical tool . Imitation , mu‘āraḍah, does not fit into the study of influence . I have divided the paper into three parts and a conclusion that gathers the significant points discussed throughout the paper .Keywords : Imitation , mu‘āraḍah , literary influence , rhetoric .
