Islamic Languages before Islam? The Arabic of the Jurhum and of Ishmael
This paper investigates two mythical languages, the speakers of which are traditionally said to have built the Kaʿba: the Arabic of the Jurhum and the Arabic of Ishmael’s descendants. Some sources describe these ethnic groups as speakers of pre-Islamic dialects that, albeit not mythical, do not qualify as certainly historical: the luġat Jurhum , the luġat Huḏayl and the luġat Qurayš . Although the treatise Kitāb al-Luġāt fī l-Qurʾān ascribes many…
Per una descrizione del kalām al-ʿarab. Fonti, problemi e metodi
This paper presents an up-to-date review of studies on the attestations of Arabic defined as the kalām al ʿarab by Arabic lexicographers, which date back to the ninth century CE and, in some cases, pre-Islamic times. It also sketches out a methodology for gathering a corpus of these attestations that is designed to solve the major philological problems they raise, including the problem of authenticity. In particular, in order to test the authenti…
(G) The Arabic Lexicographer Ibn Sīdah and the Notion of Semantic Field
Etymological investigation may resort to the semantic field in order to obtain a deeper understanding of the cultural aspects that underlie the origin and historical development of a given word.

To this aim, we offer a description of the milieu of linguistic thought to which al-Qaṭṭāʿ belonged, with particular reference to some members of that milieu, who are known to modern scholars for efforts distinguished by theoretical and methodolo…
