الجذور الجاهلية لعروض الخليلي

Abstract EN

It cannot be supposed that the almost complete scrupulously Knowledge of Prosody which attributed to Khalil-bin-Ahmad, without any origin or root.

So he used from knowledge of his Predecessors of Arab and non-Arab in founding this knowledge.

Theoreticians in this case noted to some non-Arab examples of Prosody.

Aburayhan Birooni pointed to the Indian roots which seemed that Khalil has used them.

Also Nazzar H.

Aldairani believes that he has used Soriano Prosody more or less.

Safa Khallusi and kamal Ebrahim emphasize that Arabic Prosody is an imitation from foreign Prosodies.

It seems that non-Arabic sources have been taken attention of theoreticians and neglect the Arabic sources, which had been notable and probably Khalil has used them.

The question is that how it may be that Khalil based his Prosody just on foreign prosodies and without any using Arabic sources.

In this base, along with foreign sources, there were antecedents, Prototypes and patterns that origin in Arabic culture that he has used them.

The authors are going to that analyze sources, roots and antecedents of prosody which Khalil has gotten from cultural heritage of Arab and used in his work.
