The Intellectual Foundations And Ideological Backgrounds Of Constructing The Linguistic Framework In The Arab Heritage:from Foundations To Procedures

Abstract
Abstract:: Language constitutes the foundational genesis and the pivotal axis for establishing roots for all linguistic phenomena currently being studied in terms of their structure and their mode of validity across all human tongues. Hence, it is incumbent upon us as academic researchers to transcend that homogenizing tendency and to embrace an integrative spirit regarding the linguistic theories of early linguists, such as Ibn Jinnī, Sībawayh, and Al-Khalīl. Thereafter, we must acquire the requisite capacity to move beyond a state of mere reaction to what may be termed a state of interaction with these theories aiming toward a genuine understanding of the epistemological premises and foundations that paved the way for the sciences concerned with studying the linguistic phenomenon. A number of modern linguists including ʻAbd al-Raḥmān al-Ḥājj Ṣāliḥ, Aḥmad Mūmin, Ibrāhīm Anīs, and Tamām Ḥassān, among others have addressed the question of borrowing and influence occurring between Greek, Indian, and Arabic linguistic scholarship. Their views vary regarding whether Arab scholars derived their theoretical repertoire from predecessors in time or whether there was a complete separation between the traditions a position advocated by ʻAbd al-Raḥmān al-Ḥājj Ṣāliḥ. In this study, we will move beyond the issue of influence and reception to investigate the foundational principles from which Arab scholars proceeded in their efforts to establish the roots of the Arabic language. Should we succeed in unlocking these epistemic foundations, the vision of the methodological framework that underlies the exploration of linguistic phenomena which are counted among the most pressing contemporary research issues will inevitably become clearer. From this vantage point, we are justified in posing the following research questions: 1. Did philosophy play a role in shaping early Arabic linguistic thought? 2. If philosophy was the primary impetus for study, was it the sole basis upon which Arabic linguistic scholarship was founded, or were there other driving factors? 3. Amidst these considerations, we must also examine the methodologies that enabled the scientific treatment of language.
