Abstract "From Sībawayhi to ʼAḥmad 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 ʻamal 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 the medieval Arabic grammatical theory. This volume showcases the richness of the medieval Arabic linguistic literature and the diversity of ideas found within it. Contributors are Michael G. Carter, Jean N. Druel, Almog Kasher, Aryeh Levin, Avigail Noy, Arik Sadan, Beata Sheyhatovitch, Shlomit Shraybom-Shivtiel, Avi Tal"-- Provided by publisher.
