Abstract

The figure of Baqil, the paragon of stuttering in Arabic literature, aroused the interest of literati as early as the znd/8th century. By applying the principles of functional semi-otic analysis posed by the theorist Philippe Hamon, it is possible to highlight the stages and methods of the construction of this referential character, which was facilitated by the dissemination of an anecdote in which his lack of discernment deprives him of a gazelle or a goat. The development of a written culture helped to form the standardization of the character, starting from the 3rd/9th century onward. Standardization did not eliminate all forms of textual variation, since the legend was subject to minor adaptations intended to improve its effectiveness in specific cultural contexts. Literati used these adaptations to position themselves or others in relation to a range of characters associated with qualities that together formed a referential system.
