Course Discription |
:
This course introduces Quranic readings and ancient Arabic dialects. It also aims at highlighting the rules and conditions of right reading as well as identifying readers, the types of readings, and argumentation for it and argumentation against odd readings relevant to ancient Arabic dialects. This can be done by identifying the difference in the readings: phonetically, morphologically, syntactically, and semantically for obtaining linguistic evidence, and through studying argumentation books such as, Al-Hijah for Al-Farsi in group readings and Al-Muhtasb for Ibn Jinni in protest against irregular readings and attitudes of syntacticians, their choices, and quoting readings and dialects at directing readings. The course also trains students to read this huge heritage on dialectal phenomena and on how to use it as a supporting evidence it in order to guide Quranic readings in a new way in light of modern linguistic trends. |
