The collection of articles in this volume is dedicated to Ramzi Baalbaki of the American University of Beirut on the occasion of his 60th birthday. The volume reflects the central themes of Ramzi Baalbaki's scholarly work: history of Arabic grammar, Arabic lexicography, Arabic linguistics, comparative Semitics, Arabic epigraphy, and textual editing of classical texts. It provides intellectual, literary, and social historians, as well as Arabists, philologists, and linguists with an interesting glimpse into the early medieval and modern traditions related to the Arabic language, its grammar, historical development, and demonstrates its centrality to other fields of study such as Qur'anic studies, adab, folk literature, sufism, and poetry.
Contributors include: Nadia Anghelescu, Georgine Ayoub, Aziz Azmeh, Monique Bernards, Georges Bohas, Gerhard Boewering, Michael Carter, Everhard Ditters, Geert Jan van Gelder, Hassan Hamze, Peter Heath, Pierre Larcher, Ibrahim Ben Mrad, Bilal Orfali, Wadad al-Qa?i, Angelika Neuwirth, Karin Ryding, Yasir Suleiman, Kees Versteegh, and David Wilmsen
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"[L]e volume revet un grand interet pour tous ceux qui s'interessent a la langue arabe et, plus particulierement, aux questions linguistiques qu'elle souleve, ainsi qu'a sa longue et riche tradition grammaticale. La qualite generale des articles, ainsi que l'erudition des contributeurs, representent le plus bel hommage a une figure incontournable dans le domaine, un des pionniers des etudes sur l'histoire de la grammaire arabe." - Francesco Binaghi, in: Revue des mondes musulmans et de la Mediterranee
"All things considered, the editor has been successful in putting together a volume, which represents the multifaceted nature of research on the history of Arabic grammar and Arabic lexicography and encompasses a wide range of topics as well as of different theoretical perspectives on these subjects. The papers include linguistics and socio-historical analyses, detailed case studies describing the development of different grammatical traditions as well as discussions about formal aspects of both classical and modern standard Arabic grammar. Despite this great heterogeneity, the volume constitutes a coherent collection of studies demonstrating the strength of the relationship interrelating language, culture and religion in the arabophone world." - Stefano Manfredi, in: Wiener Zeitschrift fuer die Kunde des Morgenlandes 103 (2013): 451-453
