عيوب النطق و الكلام عند الخليل : دراسة في معجم العين

Abstract EN

This study investigates Al-Khalil bin Ahmad Al-Farahidi’s use of speech defects terminologies in "Mu

The motivation for this study stems from the observation that most studies in the field of speech defects neglect the significant contributions of Al-Farahidi and rather focus on late scholars such as Al-Jahiz.

While Al-Jahiz takes credit for classifying speech defects, it should be illuminated that Al-Farahidi was first to mention it and detail its description but without attributive classifications.

Al-Farahidi, however, shouldn’t be blamed for not offering classifications simply because being encyclopedic and investigative was a prevailing characteristic of authorship at the time.

This work categorizes the terms of speech defects used by Al-Farahidi under three main headings: (Physiological defects, Behavioral defects, and Nonnativeness defects).

The study then elaborated on a number of terms and subheadings that could be added under the above-mentioned two main categories.

The study concludes that Al-Farahidi is a pioneer in writing about and describing speech defects, and that later works were dependent on Al-Farahidi’s contributions
