Vowel terminology as a method for dating early Arabic grammatical texts : a case study of Kitāb al-jumal fī l-naḥw

Martins, Katie M. 09 October 2014 (has links)
Middle Eastern Studies / Kitāb al-jumal fī l-naḥw (KJN) is a short grammatical treatise dating back to the early centuries of Arabic grammatical development. There is no consensus in modern scholarship surrounding its authorship, or even the century in which it was composed. The text is sometimes attributed to the famous 8th century grammarian al-Khalīl ibn Aḥmad al-Farāhīdī, but this hypothesis is often rejected in favor of attribution to lesser-known 10th century grammarian Ibn Shuqayr. Contemporary attempts to date this text and identify its author have given inconclusive results, largely due to issues with the methodology employed up to this point. In this thesis, I propose a new methodology for dating Arabic grammatical texts. This method concerns the use of terminology to refer to vowels. The distinction between declensional and non-declensional vowel terminology that remains in use today was first introduced by Sibawayh in his Kitāb, in which he states that the terms rafʿ, naṣb, jarr, and jazm are reserved for syntactically determined vowel endings, while ḍamm, fatḥ, kasr, and sukūn are used for vowels that are not related to syntax. In works composed during the period before the Kitāb, as I will illustrate, vowel terminology is used in a disorganized and inconsistent fashion. In contrast, grammarians after the Kitāb adhere to Sibawayh’s distinction with remarkable consistency. Thus, vowel terminology represents a clear dividing line between pre-Kitāb (late 8th-early 9th centuries) and post-Kitāb works (late 9th century and onwards) and is a valuable method for dating texts. In this thesis, I will summarize the controversy surrounding the provenance of KJN, demonstrate the advantages that the method of vowel terminology has over the other approaches taken in contemporary scholarship in an attempt to date the text, and present material from a wide range of grammatical works in order to validate this approach. Finally, I will apply this method to KJN. The results of this study show that the use of vowel terminology in KJN is much more consistent with an earlier (8th century) dating of the text than with the later (10th century) dating that has often been proposed. / text

La taxinomie des traités de grammaire arabe médiévaux (IVe/Xe/VIIIe/XIV siècle), entre représentation de l'articulation conceptuelle de la théorie et visée pratique. : enjeux théoriques, polémiques et pédagogiques des modélisations formelles et sémantiques du marquage casuel / The taxinomy of medieval Arabic grammatical treatises (IV ͤ/X ͤ-VIII ͤ/XIV ͤ siècle), between representation of theory’s conceptual articulation and practical aim : the theoretical, polemical and pedagogical issues of case marks’ formal and semantic models

Viain, Marie 22 October 2014 (has links)
Etude comparative de l’organisation des traités de grammaire arabe médiévaux, cette thèse met en relief les enjeux théoriques, polémiques et pédagogiques de la taxinomie. Les incertitudes quant à la constitution historique de la tradition grammaticale arabe ayant conduit les chercheurs à se focaliser sur la période fondatrice, notamment sur le Kitāb de Sībawayhi, nous avons voulu apprécier à sa juste valeur cet autre aspect moins étudié quoique capital dans le processus de disciplinarisation de la grammaire arabe : le rôle de la taxinomie. En effet, alors que les premiers traités de grammaire n’adoptent pas de plan fondé sur une logique grammaticale claire, se met en place à partir du IV ͤ/X ͤ siècle, sous l’influence méthodologique des logiciens, une classification de la matière linguistique en vue de représenter l’articulation conceptuelle de la théorie. Ce courant taxinomique, dominant entre les IV ͤ/X ͤ-VI ͤ/XII ͤ siècles, témoigne d’une perception plus synthétique de la théorie grammaticale, autant qu’il contribue à en établir la cohérence. Notre point de départ est le Uṣūl d’Ibn al-Sarrāğ (m.315/928), instituteur d’une présentation organisée des données visant à refléter la théorie, notamment les modélisations du marquage casuel, question centrale en grammaire arabe. Ses divisions de la syntaxe par catégories de mots, puis du chapitre du nom par cas et de celui du verbe par modes représentent le modèle formel de la rection, et la hiérarchie des fonctions au sein des rubriques casuelles tend à manifester une modélisation sémantique de chaque cas autour d’une valeur fondamentale. Les successeurs d’Ibn al-Sarrāğ, tel Abū ʿAlī l-Fārisī (m.376/987), améliorent cette organisation dans le sens d’une plus grande univocité de la modélisation sémantique, fondée sur le rôle prédicatif ou non prédicatif des éléments marqués par les cas, ou encore sur leur fonction au sein de la phrase verbale, et dans le sens d’une meilleure cohérence de cette modélisation avec le modèle rectionnel, où le verbe est régissant de base. Le Mufaṣṣal de Zamaḫšarī (m.538/1144) constitue l’apogée de la coïncidence entre organisation des rubriques et articulation conceptuelle de la théorie, et au sein de celle-ci, entre modèles formel et sémantique du marquage casuel. A partir du VII ͤ/XIIIe siècle se développent de brefs opuscules grammaticaux, telles la Alfiyya d’Ibn Mālik (m.610/1274) ou la Ağurrūmiyya d’Ibn Ağurrūm (m.722/1323), dont les présentations s’inspirent de classifications antérieures divergeant du courant alors dominant : succession pratique visant à faciliter l’apprentissage grammatical, comme dans le Ğumal de Zağğāğī (m.347/959), ou représentation plus axée sur le modèle formel de la rection, comme dans la Muqaddima d’Ibn Bābšāḏ (m.469/1077). Ce courant taxinomique nouvellement dominant favorise une transmission pédagogiquement efficace du savoir grammatical. / This thesis about the organization of medieval Arabic grammatical treatises highlights the theoretical, polemical and pedagogical issues of the taxonomy. The uncertainties about the historical constitution of the Arabic grammatical tradition led researchers to focus on the founding period, especially on the Kitāb of Sībawayhi. We wanted to highlight this other, less studied, but capital aspect in the process of disciplinarisation of Arabic grammar: the role of taxonomy. Indeed, while the first grammatical treatises do not adopt a clear plan based on grammatical logic, a classification of linguistic data which represents the conceptual articulation of the theory is developed from the IV ͤ/X ͤ century, under the logicians’ methodological influence. This taxonomic current, which is dominant between the IV ͤ/X ͤ-VI ͤ/XII ͤ centuries, reflects a more synthetic perception of grammatical theory, as it helps to establish its consistency. Our starting point is the Uṣūl of Ibn al-Sarrāğ (m.315/928), the first grammarian who set an organized presentation of data to reflect the theory, especially the modeling of case marking, a central question in Arabic grammar. Dividing the syntax by parts of speech, then the chapter of the noun by case marks and the chapter of the verb by modal marks he represents the formal model of “government”, according to which case marks and modal marks result from the action of some elements in the statement on others, and the hierarchy of functions within the cases’ chapters tends to show a semantic modeling of each case from a basic signification. The successors of Ibn al-Sarrag, among them Abū ʿAlī l-Fārisī (m.376/987), improve this organization in the direction of greater uniqueness of semantic modeling, founded on the predicative or non predicative role of the case marked elements, or on their function within the verbal sentence, and in the direction of better consistency of this modeling with government’s model, where the verb is the basic operator. The Mufaṣṣal of Zamaḫšarī (m.538/1144) presents a maximal coincidence between organization of data and conceptual articulation of the theory, and within the latter, between the formal and semantic models of case marking. From the VII ͤ/XIII ͤ century short grammatical treatises are developed, such as the Alfiyya of Ibn Mālik (m.610/1274) or the Ağurrūmiyya of Ibn Ağurrūm (m.722/1323), whose presentations are based on previous classifications diverging from the first dominant current : practical succession to facilitate grammatical learning, as in the Ğumal of Zağğāğī (m.347/959), or classification more focused on the formal model of government, as in the Muqaddima of Ibn Bābšāḏ (m.469/1077). This taxinomic current lastly dominant promotes a pedagogically effective transmission of grammatical knowledge.

Propositions pour l'enseignement du subjonctif aux adultes arabophones : Application aux étudiants des universités syriennes / Propositions for teaching the subjunctif for Arabic adults : Application on Syrien universities students

Youssef, Natalia 17 December 2012 (has links)
Vu la difficulté de l’apprentissage du mode subjonctif et de son emploi pour les apprenants adultes arabophones, Nous proposons, dans le cadre de notre recherche, une nouvelle méthodologie de l’enseignement du mode subjonctif du français basée sur la théorie du temps et de l’aspect de GOSSELIN. Cette théorie explique la relation temporelle entre l’intervalle de référence du verbe employé au subjonctif et l’intervalle d’énonciation dans une proposition indépendante et la relation temporelle entre l’intervalle de référence du verbe de la subordonnée employé au subjonctif et l’intervalle de référence du verbe de la principale dans une phrase complexe. Cette manière d’expliquer la relation temporelle facilite la compréhension de l’emploi du subjonctif dans une proposition indépendante ainsi que dans une proposition subordonnée. Elle explique également le choix du mode dans une proposition subordonnée ainsi que l’alternance des modes dans la même structure.Cette nouvelle méthodologie est fondée sur une étude comparative du système verbal du français et de celui de l’arabe et sur une étude comparative du subjonctif du français et de celui de l’arabe. Ces études nous ont permis de formuler nos hypothèses concernant les difficultés de l’apprentissage du mode subjonctif pour les apprenants adultes arabophones dus à deux phénomènes : la généralisation des règles et l’interférence de la langue maternelle (l’arabe). Ainsi nous avons proposé deux questionnaires destinés l’un à un public arabophone (syrien) ayant un niveau avancé en français et l’autre à un public arabophone (syrien) ayant un niveau moyen en français. Les résultats obtenus ont justifié nos hypothèses. Nous avons également fait une étude critique, concernant le mode subjonctif, de certains manuels de FLE et d’une méthode de grammaire FLE enseignés à l’université de Damas en Syrie. Cette étude nous a permis d’identifier les deux problèmes susmentionnés dans ces manuels. En effet, cette recherche comporte également une nouvelle méthodologie de l’explication de la grammaire arabe adressée à un public francophone. L’application de la théorie du temps et de l’aspect de GOSSELIN nous a permis d’expliquer l’emploi du subjonctif en arabe et d’observer la relation temporelle au sein d’une phrase complexe arabe comportant un verbe employé au subjonctif, d’où l’originalité de cette théorie. / The difficulty of the French subjunctive mood’s learning and use for Arabic adult learners led us in our research to offer a new learning methodology based on GOSSELIN’s theory of Tense and Aspect.This theory explains the temporal relationship between the reference interval of the verb used in subjunctive and the enunciation interval in a independent clause, and the temporal relationship between the reference interval of the subordinate clause’s verb used in subjunctive and the reference interval of the verb used in the main clause in a compound sentence. This way to explain the temporal relationship makes the understanding of the subjunctive use in an independent or subordinate clause easier. This method also explains the mood’s choice in a subordinate clause as well as the mood’s alternation in the same structure.This new methodology is based on a comparative study between the French verbal systems and the Arabic one. It is also based one a comparative study between the French subjunctive mood and the Arabic one. These studies have allowed us to formulate two hypotheses reasons of the difficulties that Arabic adult’s learners face while learning the subjunctive mood: the generalization of rules and the mother tongue’s interference (Arabic). In order to confirm our hypotheses we proposed two questionnaires. The first one addressed to an Arabic (Syrian) audience with an advanced French level. The second one addressed to an Arabic (Syrian) audience with an intermediate French level. The results confirmed positively our hypotheses. We also led a critical study about the subjunctive mood from some FLE manuals and a grammatical FLE method taught at Damascus University in Syria. The conclusion of this study allowed us to identify in this methods the two problems stated earlier.Indeed, this research also includes a new methodology for explaining Arabic grammar for French learners. The application of GOSSELIN’s theory of Tense and Aspect allowed us to explain the use of the subjunctive in Arabic. As well as to observe the time relationship within a complex Arabic sentence including a verb used to the subjunctive. This shows the originality of this theory.

Aspects linguistiques dans la pensée juridique d'Ibn al- Hâğib (571-646/1175-1248) / Linguistic aspects in the legal thinking of Ibn al- Hâğib (571-646/ 1175-1248)

Toure, Moustapha 10 December 2012 (has links)
La langue arabe est un des outils essentiels à l’analyse des données scripturaires à caractère juridique. C’est pourquoi les jurisconsultes musulmans ont développé dans leurs traités sur la méthodologie juridique, une linguistique qui n’a rien à envier à celle des grammairiens arabes classiques. Le "Muhtasar" d’ Ibn al- Hâğib est une des références en la matière. Ce travail vise d’une part, à déterminer le rôle de la langue arabe dans l’interprétation du Coran et de la Sunna. D’autre part, il tient à éclairer les procédés analytiques mis en œuvre par les usulistes dont ibn al- Hâğib en vue d’une analyse globale du discours. / The Arabic language is one of the main Tools to analyze oly legal elements. That’s why, the Muslim lawyers developed across their treatises about the legal methodology a part of linguistic that has nothing to envy to the classical Arabic grammar Works. The Ibn al- Hağib’s "Muhtasar" is one of the references in this field. This work aims to determine the Arabic language’s contribution in t e Koran and Sunna’s interpretation. On the other hand, it also holds to light up the analytic processes implemented by the usûl al-fiqh writers like Ibn al- Hâğib in scope to a global analysis of the speech.

Code-switching in an `Utendi´?

Bertoncini, Elena 09 August 2012 (has links) (PDF)
In old Swahili tendi and homiletic poems about 50% of vocabulary is of Arabic origin (Bertoncini 1973), and besides single words, they include noun phrases or even whole Arabic sentences. In order to prove my point, I will discuss some verses taken from the Utendi wa Shujaka by one Hasan bin Ali from Lamu. The only extant manuscript of this epic poem in 295 stanzas was brought to Germany in 1854 by Ludwig Krapf and is kept in the Library of the Orientalistic Society in Halle. The poem is written in the Lamu dialect with many archaic features, like the incomplete palatalization of KI, the demonstratives in S- and others. But what is striking is the great amount of Arabic phrases and whole sentences, to the extent that we may perhaps speak of a case of code-switching. In fact, several verses of the poem cannot be understood properly without some knowledge of the main features of Arabic grammar, such as verb conjugation (both perfective and imperfective), verb forms (or classes), active and passive participles, noun inflection (masculine and feminine, broken plurals, construct state), personal, relative and possessive pronouns, prepositions and their combination with enclitic pronouns, numerals, conjunctions and particles, as well as word order.

Entre soufisme et savoir islamique : l'oeuvre de ῾Abd al-Karīm al-Qushayrī (376-465 / 986-1072) / Between Islamic Knowledge and Sufisme : The Work of ῾Abd al-Karīm al-Qushayrī (376-465/ 986-1072)

Chiabotti, Francesco 12 December 2014 (has links)
La présente étude veut représenter un essai de synthèse des aspects les plus remarquables de la production littéraire et du rôle dans l'histoire du soufisme du maître soufi et théologien khorassanien Abū l-Qāsim ῾Abd al-Karīm b. Hawāzin al-Qushayrī (376-465/ 986-1072). Trois axes principaux sont développés : la vie de Qushayrī et la dynamique de diffusion de son oeuvre, l'analyse du corpus qushayrien (étude des manuscrits et état de l'édition), les aspects les plus remarquables de sa doctrine. L'idée principale qui guide ce travail est la saisie de la relation qu'on aperçoit, dans l'oeuvre de Qushayrī, entre le soufisme et les différents savoirs islamiques. Quelle est la véritable nature de cet « effet miroir » que Qushayrī opère entre le savoir exotérique et la connaissance ésotérique propre au soufisme ? Dans quelle mesure Qushayrī innove et dans quelle mesure peut-on le considérer comme un « transmetteur fidèle » d'un patrimoine à la fois spirituel et savant dont il se veut l'héritier ? Après la redéfinition de la relation soufisme-savoir, notre deuxième objectif est de jeter une nouvelle lumière sur «Qushayrī le maître», un maître que les sources plus anciennes appellent ustādh imām, savant et religieux à la fois. Par delà le souci normatif qui traverse l'oeuvre qushayrienne, n'en demeure pas moins un appel au voyage et au dépassement vers la connaissance de Dieu. Comme le dit le maître soufi Dhū l-Nūn l'Egyptien d'après la Risāla de Qushayrī, « tout ce que tu peux concevoir dans ton imagination, Dieu est différent de cela ». / This dissertation is the first monograph on the life and work of the immensely influential Nishapuri Sufi and theologian ʿAbd al-Karīm b. Hawāzim al-Qushayrī (376-465/986-1072). On the basis of unpublished manuscripts and textual marginalia (isnāds, ijāzas and colophons) as well as recently published critical editions, the present study has three primary research nodes: 1) Qushayrī's formation as a thinker and the dynamics that made for the successful diffusion of his work; 2) the Qushayrian corpus (a survey of extant manuscripts, editions and secondary scholarship); and 3) the most important aspects of Qushayrī's project. A number of important questions will be pursued, including: How should we understand the interplay between exoteric and esoteric knowledge that pervades Qushayrī's writings? To what extent does Qushayrī redefine the spiritual and scholarly traditions he inherited, and how does he conceive of his role as transmitter? Finally, this study addresses the role of Qushayrī as a spiritual master. Questioning previous assumptions as to the ways in which Qushayrī's spiritual influence was propagated, I demonstrate that Qushayrī emerged as a charismatic spiritual master in his own lifetime, directly establishing a Sufi-scholarly tradition that our sources term Qushayriyya.
