Analysis of narratives from Ibn Al-Tayyani in the context of linguistics and dialect, revealing linguistic complexities.
The research is concerned with studying the narratives of the linguist known as Ibn al-Tiyani (d. 436 AH), the author of the dictionary that sparked controversy among those interested in language and entitled (Al-Mu'ab fi al-Lughah). Since it was difficult to access this dictionary, we only found his name and the name of its author, our scholar (Ibn al-Tiyani). I decided to collect his narratives scattered in the mothers of language books, grammar, and dictionaries. I found that the book Tuhfat al-Majd al-Sarih fi Sharh Kitab al-Fasaih by al-Labli (d. 691 AH) included most of his narratives, as well as the dictionary Taj al-Arus by al-Zubaidi and other language books. There is no doubt that Ibn al-Tiyani's narratives were comprehensive in the topics of language, phonetics, morphology, grammar, and semantics, so I decided to study the words that fall within the topics of phonetics, dialect, and linguistics. According to what was collected from these narratives, they were divided into topics represented by linguistic phenomena in which a group of words participated and were considered a language. My method in the research was to mention the narrative of Ibn al-Tiyani, indicating its source, then study the word in language books and dictionaries, mentioning the opinions of linguists about it.
