Abstract:

>From Sībawayhi to ʾAḥmad Ḥasan al-Zayyāt: New Angles on the Arabic Linguistic
Tradition, a volume edited by Beata Sheyhatovitch and Almog Kasher, brings
together nine articles written by leading scholars of the Arabic linguistic
tradition. These articles trace the development of the tradition, from
Sībawayhi to modern Arabic language academies. The authors shed light on
lesser-known aspects of this tradition, such as little-investigated
grammatical structures, and problematic spots of the ʿamal theory and the
grammatical terminology. They explore the discipline’s relations with
stylistics and logic, the Arab grammarians’ influence on Jewish Bible
exegesis, and modern applications of medieval Arabic grammatical theory. This
volume showcases the richness of the medieval Arabic linguistic literature and
the diversity of ideas found within it.
