"Though This Be Madness, Yet There Is Method In't": The mamnūʿ min al-ṣarf (Diptotes) in Arabic Grammatical Tradition.
This article discusses theories designed by medieval Arabic grammarians to explain one of the most puzzling topics in Arabic grammar, mamnūʿ min al-ṣarf (diptotes). The mainstream theory of mamnūʿ min al-ṣarf probably took on its definitive form in the early 4th/10th century; it differs from Sībaway...

The mainstream theory of mamnūʿ min al-ṣarf probably took on its definitive form in the early 4th/10th century; it differs from Sībawayhi's (d. ca 180/796) theory, yet consists of a generalisation of features found in the latter. A later modification, which retained its basic elements, was presented to the mainstream theory probably during the 7th/13th century. A radically different theory was presented by al-Suhaylī (d. 581/1185), who harshly criticised the mainstream theory as inadequate and arbitrary. Résumé: Cet article analyse les théories élaborées par les grammairiens arabes médiévaux pour expliquer l'un des phénomènes les plus surprenants de la grammaire arabe, le mamnūʿ min al-ṣarf (diptotes). La théorie classique du mamnūʿ min al-ṣarf a probablement été finalisée au début du IV/X siècle ; elle diffère de la théorie de Sībawayhi (m. v. 180/796), dont elle généralise cependant les principales caractéristiques. Une modification ultérieure a été apportée à cette théorie classique, probablement durant le VII/XIII siècle, qui a néanmoins conservé ses éléments de base. Cependant, une théorie radicalement différente a été proposée par al-Suhaylī (m. 581/1185), qui critique férocement la théorie classique, la décrivant comme inadéquate et arbitraire. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Arabica is the property of Brill Academic Publishers and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
