Studies in the History of Arabic Grammar II : Proceedings of the second symposium on the history of Arabic grammar, Nijmegen, 27 April-1 May, 1987

This volume presents papers given at the second Symposium on the History of Arabic Grammar (Nijmegen, 1987). The subject has many aspects and invites many different approaches, which might roughly be categorized into three main groupings, viz. treatments of individual grammarians, examinations of particular grammatical topics, and analysis of medieval concepts from the perspective of contemporary linguistics.
