الاحتجاج اللغوي عند ابن دريد الأزدي في جمهرة اللغة

الملخص EN

The main resource from which Arab linguists obtained their linguistic knowledge was the Holy Qur'an which is the most eloquent and representation of rhetoric.

The second source is the Hadith, though researchers disputed on taking it as evidence and were classified into three groups: 1.

The disapprovers represnted by abu Al – Hasan Ibn AL- Da'i (680 AH) and Abu Hayyan AL – Andalusi (745 AH).

2.

The supporters by Ibn Malek AL –Andalusi (672 AH).

3.

The conservatives represented by Abu Ishaq AL – Shatibi (790 AH).

The third source is Arabs' eloquent speech that is authenticated for its accuracy and eloquence.

It is divided into poetry and prose, poetry is more frequently quoted as an evidence than prose since it represents Arabs' literary canon in both urban and Bedouin areas and its rhythm facilitates its memorization.

The present paper tackles Ibn Duraid's use of these sources as linguistic evidence, his methodology, and basic sources.
