THE APOLOGY FOR SYNTACTICIANS

Abstract

The research has studied the apology of syntacticians from each other, which indicates the high morality of syntacticians in removing obscurity or illusion, error or ambiguity, and confusion or the lack of information made by other syntacticians.
The study has revealed a difference in the description of the apology provided by the syntacticians, from which the degree of acceptance, attenuation, and rejection of the apology was evident. The later syntacticians, especially the explainers of the metrical poetry and prose texts, were the more ones who made excuses for syntacticians than the others.
There are some motives made syntacticians give such apologies for each other, among which: the apology for producing the indefinite or unspecific statement, the apology for producing limited aspects in the syntactic interpretation, the apology for producing additional aspects in the syntactic interpretation, the apology for the apparent syntactic discrepancies, the apology for the apparent wrong estimation, the apology for the suppositions of inattention and the apology for the claims of unanimous agreement.
