The similar and distinctive division of syntax in medieval manuscripts

Abstract

As a conclusion, it can be noted that the division of syntax was ordered in a different way in medieval linguistics, whereas sometimes was presented as in traditional grammar due to previous linguists. The prominent arabic linguist who lived in the XIII-XIV centuries Ahmad bin Ali ibn Masud carried on the classification tradition of his predecessor az-Zamakhshary, the XII century linguist, in his work called “Marahul-arvah”. The outstanding arabic linguist Ibn Hisham chose a completely new method in his well-known work “Mughnil-labib “that deals with linguistics, not found in the works of previous linguists. In summary, we can come across similar and distinctive research of “an-Nahv “that takes notable place in the creative work of medieval arabic linguists.
