Abstract

     Patos' arguments depend on the emotions, , and feelings of the listeners. This type of argument is characterized by being arguments in which emotions are the goal.The argumentative power embedded in it is to express a specific emotion, making the recipient enter a specific emotional state.How do emotions function argumentatively in novelistic discourse?

    We chose the novel Umm Saad by the Palestinian writer Ghassan Kanafani to study the Patosian arguments that the writer employed to convince his reader of the legitimacy of the Palestinian cause.And to try to reveal the argumentative mechanisms adopted by the pilgrims of Batos in narrative discourse.
