It provides a window into the dynamics of the discipline and the intellectual debates that unfolded in the study of the Arabic language. With a focus on speech errors and loanwords, the author explains how scholars integrated new language phenomena into tradition. By reading the dictionary as a form of commentary that departs from its master text to expand and challenge its content, this book offers a new understanding of the vibrant field of Arabic lexicography and commentary culture at large.Global Arabic Literary Cultures ;4.Middle East and Islamic Studies E-Books Online, Collection 2026.ArtHistoryArabic languageLexicographyHistory1200-1800Encyclopedias and dictionariesHistory and criticismLiterature and Cultural StudiesArtHistory.Arabic languageLexicographyHistoryEncyclopedias and dictionariesHistory and criticism.Literature and Cultural Studies.709Lindermann Colinda1841426NL-LeKBNL-LeKB9911018859703321Dictionary as Commentary - Arabic Lexicography in the Post-Formative Period4421170UNINA
