Document Details : Title: On Jurjānī's Functional Approach to Word Order Author(s): PELED, Y. Journal: Le Muséon Volume: 110 Issue: 1-2 Date: 1997 Pages: 115-141 DOI: 10.2143/MUS.110.1.525803 Abstract : The medieval Arab grammatical theory, especially in its later development, is described, by and large, as a formal system comprising a set of rules designed to provide a comprehensive account of the structure of classical Arabic. The grammarians' account is normally shown to concentrate on syntax and morphology, with hardly any systematic semantico-pragmatic analysis of the phenomena discussed. |
