TEXT IV /hybrid)
This text is a , fiadith' narrated by Aisha, the wife of Prophet
Muhammad (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him). It is taken from
'Salih Al-Bukhari', a collection of authenticated Tradition of the
Prophet, vol.7, pp82-86, 4th edition, published in 1984 by Dar Al-
Arabia, Beirut. 'Sahih Al-Bukhari' is translated from Arabic by Dr
Muhammad Muhsin Khan.
A hybrid text, according to our model-based classification of
texts, is neither literary nor scientific. It is a fuzzy text in which
obligatory, extended, and accessory meanings are disproportionately
distributed according to the topic and scope of the text.
Predominately informative and content-oriented, a hybrid text contains
rhetorical devices and stylistic embellishments which are designed to
reinforce the mearing content of the message. Unlike the non-literary
text, in which the OMCCs follow in an uninterrupted logical sequence, a
disruption of this sequence is likely to occur in a hybrid text. This
disruption is accounted for by the intrusion of extended and accessory
meaning structures (rhetorical and stylistic devices) which would
render the content of the text less rigid and more acceptable. In our
analysis and comparison of ST-TT, we will trace the various meaning
categories in both texts, in an attempt to discover any mismatches on
the lexical, syntactic, or semantic level.
