هي أصوات نصدرها، ورموز ننقشها، إنها اللغة. لا توجد أمة من الأمم لا تعرفها، فهي ضرورة إنسانية اجتماعية، حيث يفكر كل إنسان من خلالها، ويتواصل مع الآخرين عبرها. فهي أداة للتفكير والتواصل. وبرغم أن هناك أشكال كثيرة للتعبير عن المعنى الإنساني كالرسم والنحت والرقص وغيرها، إلا أن للغة قدرة فريدة على تجسيد ذلك المعنى، فهي وعاء الثقافة الإنسانية، فإذا أريد لها أن تؤدي وظيفة دينية أو أدبية كانت مركبة تعكس تركيبية العالم الداخلي للإنسان، وإذا أريد لها أن تكون فلسفية أصبحت مجردة تعبر عن الكليات، وإذا تحولت إلى رياضية صارت أكثر تجريدًا. هي باختصار تشكل الوعاء الثقافي الأساسي لكل حضارة، بما تحمله هذه الحضارة من فلسفة وأدب وعلم وفن وعلاقات اجتماعية بين البشر.

The present book offers a variationist view on a set of medieval Arabic proverbs. The proverbs were collected from a historical electronic corpus of Arabic containing approx. 420 million words. The resulting collection contains almost 400 proverbs. First, the sources of the proverbs are treated. They are found in the Quran, which is a rich source of inspiration for Muslims. Another important source are the hadiths, stories on the deeds of the Prophet, where many of his sayings became proverbial (or reflect older proverbial tradition). Another important source is the Arabic poetry, and a number of poetical passages are identified with a remarkable number of quotations. In the following part, semantic frames of several types of proverbs are studied. It is shown that these semantic frames can serve as a foundation of several types of variation. One of the most widely used type is a development of a “synonymical” series, where a certain role in the proverb can be represented by a number of words where a certain semantic connection can be seen (in our example, the sequence of man ~ human ~ clever one ~ wise one ~ muslim, etc.). Some parts of the proverb can be extended or changed. This type of modulation can be both semantic and grammatical. While the grammatical one works within the same meaning of the proverbial frame, semantic modulation can serve in the process of variations of the proverbs. E.g., in the frame ‘who is obedient to God, God will raise him', a possible modulation is e.g. ‘in this world ~ in the hereafter', ‘on the Judgment day', etc. There are proverbs that consist of a rather steady phrase, which constitutes the situation, and a supplement to the phrase then explains the position of the speaker. E.g., the phrase ‘time will come when…'is followed by a varied pale€ e of possible amendments, describing diff erent types of a diff erent future, either positive or (in our example more frequently) negative. Similarly, the phrase ‘three things will bring you goodwill of your fellow'offered eight possible extensions. Slightly less frequent and with less variation is the type where the steady phrase appears at the end of the u€tterance. The proverbial saying ‘there are four types of men'with the development of their relation to knowledge (ranging from a wise man to an ignorant) with instructions on suggested a€ttitudes towards them (follow him or repudiate him) is used for an illustration of the development of such a saying. In our data, there are twelve different types, and a model of their development and heritance is shown. In the final chapter, frequential aspects of our collection are treated. Several types of overall numbers are offered, including the length of the proverbs, their frequency, or their appearance along the chronological line. Finally, several typical examples of the frequential distribution in the particular centuries are given. In the appendix, a whole list of the proverbs is offered, including the most common types of variation. This is accompanied by information on their frequency, the first occurrence (century) and in some cases also the source of individual proverbs (the Quran, hadiths).

لما كان للغة العربية الشأن الذي لا يُجهل أقبلت وجوه العلماء الأعلام عليها؛ وجعلوا وجهتهم تمهيد السبيل إليها كي لا يُحلَّأَ عن مواردها العذبة وارد، ولا يُدرأ عن معاهدها الرحبة قاصد، فبينوا قواعدها وأحكامها، ورفعوا أعلامها. وأفردوا كلٍّا من حالي الأفراد والتأليف بالبيان، حتى كاد بيانهم يكون بمنزلة العيان، ونقبوا في البلاد عن شواردها، وجعلوا أسفارهم قيد أوابدها، وأبرزوا في ذلك مصنفات مختلفة الأصناف، مشحونة بصحاح الجواهر ممتازة عن الأصداف، ودعوا الناس إليها دعوة تامة؛ لتكون مأدُبة الأدَبِ لهم عامة. ثم اجتهدوا في فقه اللغة؛ فأوضحوا أصوله المُحكمة، وشرحوا فصوله المبهمة حتى ظهر ما بهر من سرها الخفي ومن خصائصها المونقة لمن هو بها حفي، ولم يزل التأليف فيها متواترًا بقدر الإمكان مرعيٍّا فيه حال الزمان والمكان.

يتكلم هذا الكتاب ان كلنا نكتب الآن عن اللغة، وكلنا نشعر بخطورة هذا الموضوع؛ لأننا انتهينا بما نعرفه من اللغات الأوربية، إلَّا أنَّ تأخرنا اللغوي في مصر هو سبب من أعظم الأسباب لتأخرنا الاجتماعي، وقد كان الثقاب الذي أشعل هذا الموضوع في وجداني، وبعثني على تأليف هذا الكتاب؛ مقالًا نشره الأستاذ (أحمد أمين) في مجلة الثقافة، أوضح فيه أنَّ معاني الكلمات تتغير حين يتغير الزمان والمكان أي حين يتغير المجتمع الذي تستعمل فيه الكلمات، ويُمكن للقارئ أن يعيد هذا الكتاب شرحًا وتعليقًا، وتوسعًا في معاني هذا المقال.

يتكلم هذا الكتاب على ان اللغة العربية بدأت تاريخها المعروف بخصائصها المميزة لها اليوم فى عصر سابق للدعوة الإسلامية يرده علماء المقارنة بين اللغات إلى القرن الرابع قبل الهجرة ويرجع فيما نعتقد الى عصر قبل ذلك لأن المقابلة بينها وبين أخواتها السامية يدل على تطور لا يتم فى بضعة أجيال ولابد له من أصل قديم يضارع أصول التطور فى أقدم اللغات ومنها السنكسريتية وغيرها من اللغات الهندية الجرمانية.

The sheer quantity of baggage that Arabic has acquired on its travels through the Western consciousness is unique. That the West's complex and intricate relationship with the language is now characterised above all by fear is a special tragedy, argues papyrologist Petra Sijpesteijn in Why Arabic?In this vigorous defence of Arabic and the long tradition of Arabic studies, Sijpesteijn shows what can be gained by engaging with this extraordinarily fertile language and culture, and how insight and understanding can be found in the most unexpected places. Arabic's endless riches continue to surpris.

من حق القارئ أن يسأل:'ما هي حاجتنا لتعلم برنامج في التفكير؟'،وله الحق في ذلك.والهدف الأهم للتفكير هو أن يعرف الإنسان هدف وجوده في الأرض وهو عبادة الله على مراد الله. حيث يقول سبحانه وتعالى: {وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ} (56) سورة الذاريات.

كانت مصر وسورية ولبنان مسرحا للحوادث الجسام فى مطلع القرن التاسع عشر الميلادى وهو ميلاد الشيخ ناصيف اليازجى فمن احتلال الفرنسيين لمصر فى سنة 1798 م الى اخفاقهم تحت اسوار عكا ومن حدب اللبنانيين على الفرنسيين الى نكوصهم عن مساعدتهم بعد اذ اوعز الاميرال سدنى سميث الانجليزى صدورهم على بونابرت. وكان الظلم والاستبداد هو الشعار الذى يتحلى به كل وال تركى عهد اليه فى السيطرة على ولاية من الولايات وبقيت الحال على هذا المنوال حتى فتح الجيش المصرى بلاد الشام فقابله الاهلون بالترحاب والافراح.

Containing Charles Ferguson's papers on Arabic linguistics, this volume addresses issues of continuing concern in phonology, syntax, historical linguistics, and sociolinguistics.The introduction provides a biographical sketch, including excerpts from interviews with Ferguson in which he discusses his career and dealings with Arabic. A critical overview precedes each of the four sections (Diachronica, Phonology, Register and Genre, and General).This work fills an important gap in the history of linguistics in documenting much of the career and contributions of a formative figure in American linguistics. In addition to updating Ferguson's articles, the volume preserves Ferguson's reflections on the events, personalities, relationships, and issues at the time he wrote the articles, as well as on subsequent developments. A unique and fascinating picture of a pioneer linguist.

I've dealt with in this book topics initiated by a variety of linguistic patterns of language, according to which thirty-eight pattern. Then addressed the members of the pronunciation, any members that are involved in speech.

The Arabic grammatical tradition is one of the great traditions in the history of linguistics, yet it is also one that is comparatively unknown to modern western linguistics. The purpose of the present book is to provide an introduction to this grammatical tradition not merely by summarizing it, but by putting it into a perspective that will make it accessible to any linguist trained in the western tradition. The reader should not by put off by the word ‘medieval': Arabic grammatical theory shares a number of fundamental similarities with modern linguistic theory. Indeed, one might argue that one reason Arabic theory has gone unappreciated for so long is that nothing like it existed in the West at the time of its ‘discovery'by Europeans in the 19th century, when the European orientalist tradition was formed, and that it it only with the development of a Saussurean and Bloomfieldian structural tradition that a better perspective has become possible.
