Arabic and Linguistic Authority: Studies in Programming

  • Aboubacar Ahmed Ibrahim Boubacar

Abstract

This article begins with Madkour saying that ancient linguists "could not shake off the constraints of the past, and did not dare record anything of the language of the 20th century. They could not have done it, and the question requires greater authority and a stronger linguistic argument." This article analyzes his dictum "the greatest authority and the strongest linguistic argument", assuming that linguists did not primarily aim to dominate the language, especially since their effort was limited to presenting a descriptive study of the Arabic and to extract normative rules from it.
