Objectives: The study aims to examine the phenomenon of deletion from the perspectives of two different sciences, namely rhetoric and text linguistics, to highlight the points of agreement and divergence in their handling of this phenomenon, to identify the starting points of each, to trace the means and processing mechanisms through which each arrives at its conclusion, and to identify the goals of each. This study sheds light on this by analyzing specific examples from the book of Surat Yusuf (the Holy Quran).
Methods: The descriptive-analytical method is used in this study since it describes and analyzes the phenomena of deletion as it appears in selected models in Surah Yusuf. Then it connects the rhetorical aims to the textual structural value.
Results: The study indicated that deletion extends beyond just eliminating a section of speech. Aside from attaining language economy, it has aesthetic and rhetorical consequences that boost meaning in beauty, clarity, and consistency, increasing text coherence. With this understanding, the analysis progresses from the level of a single sentence to the level of the text, implying that neither analysis can replace the other.
Conclusion: The study concluded that rhetoric is the most crucial science in text structure because of the similarities and convergence between the two sciences, despite their differing natures. Textual linguistics is a structural consistency science, whereas rhetoric is an aesthetic science. This clarification leads us to conclude that we cannot understand the text alone through rhetorical studies since it must be deduced from the standpoint of text linguistics to understand its goals and purposes.
