Abstract
In spite of its significance, not so many studies have tackled the equivocalities of the rhetoric lesson. This study tries to tackle some of them, for it has found equivocalities related to the rhetoric idiom, like multiplicity of idiom for one notion, as in paronomasia, resemblance, joining and homology. These terms refer to the idea of agreement of two utterances in certain aspects, while they are different in their meaning. This will make the learner reluctant in choosing one term or another. Another equivocality is the classification of the main and secondary rhetoric arts, like considering (wish) manner as a division of the non-requesting composition, although most of rhetoricians consider request as part of its bounds. The study has tackled this point in the equivocalities of rhetoric bounds: Wish is defined there as the requesting of the desirable which is about to happen. In these bounds, there is a request in the manner of wish. But they have considered it as part of the non-requesting. Among the equivocalities of the bound is the resemblance seen by Alalawi between the bounds of completion and appending. One of the equivocalities is the rhetoricians' negligence of rhetoric subjects and metaphoric meanings, so it is noticed that the(non-requesting composition) is not taught although it is the second part of the parts of speech, for the speech is divided into predicate and composition, while composition is divided into requesting and non-requesting. Rhetoricians have studied the parts of the requesting composition and tackled the ways of expressing its metaphorical intentions, which can be achieved through these requesting techniques.
