Abstract:

This volume is intended as the first in a series of studies on traditional Arab 
linguistic theories concentrating on Sībawayhi and his grammatical legacy. 
Here, the reader is introduced to the major issues and themes that have 
determined the development of Arabic grammar and presents Sībawayhi in the 
context of his intellectual and social environment. The papers make significant 
contributions to and offer in-depth introductions into major aspects of the 
foundations of Arab Linguistics, early Syriac and medieval Hebrew linguistic 
traditions. This is a unique reference on the three main Semitic linguistic 
traditions, accompanied by a detailed analysis of some grammatical and 
pragmatic aspects of 'Kitāb Sībawayhi' in the light of modern theories and 
scholarship.

Contributors include: M. G. Carter, Hanadi Dayyeh, Manuela E.B. Giolfo,
