Towards an analysis of the linguistic text, a reading in the book by Sibawayh

Abstract

Can (the book) be a rich material through which we can form a set of competencies that qualify its owner to analyze the linguistic text? A question from which the researcher started reading the book on the assumption that Sibawayh’s book was not a grammatical book in the traditional sense, but a linguistic book aimed at understanding the language in its pragmatic sense and its aesthetic dimension from the sender to the recipient. Sibawayh’s book was written in Arabic as a whole, starting with its sounds and vocabulary structures and its composition until it reaches its full effect on the recipient. The researcher has noticed that Sibawayh always put himself outside the circle of grammarians who look at the rule only without its interaction within the text, where the language in its broad sense, which shows after Sibawayh about the rigidity of the curriculum of some grammarians in their dealings with the linguistic phenomenon, as he rejected their normative dominance, which lacks some Standards of linguistic sense, and thus the book was able to establish a sound course for the linguistic lesson, and make it dependent on the Arab taste and the integration of Arabic sciences so that the study of the language would be a method for analysis, understanding and interpretation of the linguistic phenomenon in its comprehensiveness, not to motivate or prevent melancholy; Grammar has emerged as an interpretation and analysis of the Noble Qur’an and the words of the Arabs. To reach its results, the researcher adopted a description of the levels of linguistic analysis (phonetic - morphological - lexical - grammatical) and an analysis of Sibawayh's texts in order to extract the elements through which any linguistic text can be analyzed based on what Sibawayh presented. The case of linguistic analysis and the integration of language sciences, as well as the case of Sibawayh between grammar and language.
