# أثر الكشيدة في سرعة قراءة النص العربي المطبوع: تجربة على قرّاء جامعيين {issue="المجلد ١٤ · العدد ٣ · خريف ٢٠٢٦" author="سلمى الخطيب" affiliation="قسم علوم المعلومات والنشر، جامعة المثال"}

:::callout{type="abstract" title="ملخص"}
تبحث هذه الدراسة في أثر ضبط السطور بالكشيدة في سرعة قراءة النص العربي المطبوع وفي فهمه. قرأ ستون طالبًا جامعيًا نصوصًا مضبوطة بثلاث طرق: بالمسافات وحدها، وبالكشيدة وحدها، وبمزيج منهما. ولم تختلف سرعة القراءة اختلافًا ذا دلالة بين الطرق الثلاث، غير أن القرّاء فضّلوا الطريقة المختلطة، وكانت أخطاء الفهم في الكشيدة الكثيفة أعلى قليلًا.
:::

## المقدمة

يملأ :index[الطابع]{term="الطباعة العربية"} العربي السطر حتى نهايته بإحدى وسيلتين: أن يوسّع المسافات بين الكلمات، أو أن يمدّ بعض الحروف المتصلة بما يسمّى :index[الكشيدة]{main}:index{term="الكشيدة" seealso="المسافات بين الكلمات"} أو :index[التطويل]{see="الكشيدة"}. والوسيلة الثانية قديمة قِدم الخط نفسه، عرفها :index[النسّاخ] قبل المطبعة، ثم نقلها صانعو :index[الحروف المعدنية] إلى صناديقهم في صورة قطع خاصة تُدسّ بين أجزاء الكلمة.[@nemeth2017] وحين انتقلت الطباعة العربية إلى الحاسوب، صار المدّ عملية آلية يقوم بها البرنامج، وصار السؤال عن مقداره ومواضعه سؤالًا تقنيًا قبل أن يكون جماليًا.[^raqim]

[^raqim]: تُبنى قواعد المواضع الجائزة للمدّ في البرامج الحديثة على ما وصفه الخطاطون في خط :index[النسخ]، ولا سيما المنع بعد الكاف واللام، وقبل الحروف المستديرة في آخر الكلمة.

ولا يكاد يُختلف في أن الكشيدة جزء من :index[جماليات الصفحة العربية]، لكن أثرها في القراءة لم يُدرس إلا قليلًا. فالدراسات القليلة المتاحة اعتمدت على تقدير القرّاء للنص، لا على قياس قراءتهم له،[@hashimi2019, ٧٧; @attar2021] والمعايير الدولية تكتفي بوصف المواضع التي يجوز فيها المدّ دون أن تحدد مقداره.[@alreq] ويحاول هذا البحث أن يقيس الأثر قياسًا مباشرًا.

## الكشيدة في الطباعة العربية

حين أُنشئت :index[مطبعة بولاق]{term="بولاق، مطبعة"} في عشرينيات القرن التاسع عشر، سُبكت حروفها على نماذج من الخط الذي يكتبه النسّاخ، وصار الكتاب المطبوع بعد ذلك بعقود سلعة يقرؤها جمهور واسع.[@ayalon2016] وكان صفّاف الحروف يضبط السطر بقطع من المدّ يدسّها بين أجزاء الكلمة، إلى أن ظهرت آلات :index[الصف الآلي] في القرن العشرين فقلّصت عدد أشكال الحروف تقليصًا كبيرًا.[@nemeth2017]

وقد عادت الكشيدة في :index[الصحف اليومية] بعد انتشار :index[الصف الرقمي]، لأنها تسمح بضبط :index[الأعمدة الضيقة] دون أن تتسع المسافات اتساعًا ظاهرًا. غير أن بعض المصممين يرون أن الإكثار منها يجعل الصفحة مضطربة، وأن العين تتعثر بالكلمات الممدودة كما تتعثر بالفجوات الواسعة.[@attar2021, ٥٢]

## منهج التجربة

شارك في التجربة ستون طالبًا وطالبة من :index[جامعة المثال]، تتراوح أعمارهم بين ١٩ و٢٦ سنة، وكلهم يقرأ العربية لغةً أولى. وقرأ كل منهم تسعة نصوص قصيرة من المقالات الصحفية، طول كل منها نحو ٣٠٠ كلمة، على صفحات مطبوعة بخط :index[أميري]{term="أميري، خط"} بحجم ١٣ نقطة.[^font]

[^font]: اختير خط أميري لأنه يرسم الكشيدة منحنية، كما في الطباعة البولاقية، فيكون الفرق بين الطرق الثلاث أوضح مما هو في الخطوط التي ترسمها خطًا مستقيمًا.

وضُبطت النصوص بثلاث طرق: بالمسافات وحدها، وبالكشيدة وحدها مع مسافات ثابتة، وبمزيج يوسّع :index[المسافات بين الكلمات] بمقدار الربع أولًا ثم يمدّ الحروف. وقيس زمن القراءة بالثواني، ثم أجاب القارئ عن خمسة أسئلة في الفهم، وأخيرًا رتّب الطرق الثلاث بحسب تفضيله.:index{term="تفضيل القرّاء"}

## النتائج والمناقشة

لم تختلف :index[سرعة القراءة] اختلافًا ذا دلالة بين الطرق الثلاث: كان المتوسط ٢١٤ كلمة في الدقيقة للمسافات، و٢٠٩ للكشيدة، و٢١٧ للطريقة المختلطة. أما :index[أخطاء الفهم]{term="الفهم، أخطاء"} فكانت أعلى قليلًا في الكشيدة وحدها، ولا سيما في السطور التي مُدّت فيها ثلاث كلمات أو أكثر.

وفضّل ٣٨ مشاركًا الطريقة المختلطة، و١٤ المسافات وحدها، و٨ الكشيدة وحدها. وهذا يتفق مع ما يذهب إليه الطابعون من أن الكشيدة تحسن قليلًا ولا تحسن كثيرًا،[@hashimi2019, ٨١] ومع ما تقترحه الإرشادات الحديثة من توزيع الفراغ على المسافات والمدّ معًا.[@alreq]

ولهذه النتائج حدود واضحة: فالنصوص قصيرة، والقرّاء من فئة عمرية واحدة، والخط واحد. ويحتاج الأمر إلى تجارب على :index[خطوط أخرى]{term="الخطوط الطباعية"}، وعلى :index[القراءة على الشاشة]، حيث يتغير عرض السطر بتغير الجهاز.
