Summary:

The twenty papers presented here by Orfali (Arabic and Islamic studies, American U. of Beirut, Lebanon) are dedicated in honor of Ramzi Baalbaki, scholar of Arabic at the American U. of Beirut. As such, they focus on those areas that formed the core of his scholarly work: the study of early terminology and concepts to demonstrate that Arabic grammatical thought is organic and not borrowed, the central place of the grammatical tradition within the Arabic and Islamic scholarly tradition, and the analytical methods of the early Arabic grammarians and their thought on the balance between structure and meaning. .
