Abstract

Semantic Alternation is regarded as a type of Semantic development through rhetoric. Semantic changes from the sensible to the abstract in a gradual way. Semantic Alternation occurs in several rhetoric styles of which are the metaphoric, smile and metonymy. The researcher have mentioned several terms taken from Imam Ali (p.b.u.h) who adopted the characteristics of animals like the camel and the horse. He used such kind of simile to give the sense that the khilafate is like the camel can be moved from one owner to another. This is a way used to reveal the meaning of the meaning and to describe the sensed things with the reasonable tangible things. The choice of the camel was because the camel was something important in the lives of ancient Arabs who used to depend on it in their lives as a source for milk, meat and its hair as being the main way of their transporation.
