The Origin and Vicissitudes of the Term šibh al-ǧumla (“Quasi-Clause”) in Arabic Grammatical Tradition
This article delves into the origin of the now widely used term šibh al-ǧumla (lit. “quasi-clause”) in Medieval Arabic grammatical tradition, tracing its transformation until it acquired its present form, as a hyperonym of both the ẓarf and the prepositional phrase. It focuses on the writings of Ibn Mālik, likely the first to employ this phrase; next, it explores Ibn Hišām al-Anṣārī’s alternative characterisation of the ẓarf and the prepositional…
Anachronistic bias in the study of Arabic grammatical tradition: The case of the term ḥarf in Sībawayhi’s al-Kitāb
One of the most obscure and most frequently commented on texts in Arabic grammatical tradition is the opening formulation in its earliest extant book, Sībawayhi's al-Kitāb, concerning the tripartite division of parts of speech. For the third part of speech, the particle, around which the present article revolves, Sībawayhi uses a complex term, whose head is ḥarf, a term which is commonly used by itself by later grammarians for this part of speech…
Though This Be Madness, Yet There Is Method In’t”: The mamnūʿ min al-ṣarf (Diptotes) in Arabic Grammatical Tradition
This article discusses theories designed by medieval Arabic grammarians to explain one of the most puzzling topics in Arabic grammar, mamnūʿ min al-ṣarf (diptotes). The mainstream theory of mamnūʿ min al-ṣarf probably took on its definitive form in the early 4th/10th century; it differs from Sībawayhi’s (d. ca 180/796) theory, yet consists of a generalisation of features found in the latter. A later modification, which retained its basic elements…
Two Types of Taqdīr? A Study in Ibn Hišām's Concept of 'Speaker's Intention
The term taqdīr is mostly used in Arabic grammatical tradition to refer to underlying structures, i.e. to sentences, forms etc. intended by the speakers but which differ from the sentences, forms etc. which they actually utter. This is also the sense modern scholars have in mind when discussing taqdīr. Yet the term proves to have a significantly wider extension, embracing also cases where it pertains not to underlying structures, but to propertie…
