Une entreprise de légitimation de la grammaire arabe
La langue des Ḫaṣāʾiṣ est réputée difficile d'accès et la pensée de son auteur relativement opaque. Avec ce livre, le lecteur dispose désormais d'une clé pour pénétrer la pensée linguistique d'un des grammairiens les plus importants de la tradition grammaticale arabe. Il montre comment Ibn Ǧinnī a mobilisé les concepts de l'épistémè de son époque pour systématiser le raisonnement explicatif grammatical. En lisant ce livre, le lecteur percevra également l'importance accordée par Ibn Ǧinnī au rôle joué par le locuteur dans le changement de la langue, en ce sens que le locuteur est perçu comme le véritable agent (ʿāmil) de son discours.

Arabic Grammar and Linguistics
This book explores aspects of the Arabic Grammatical Tradition and Arabic Linguistics from both a theoretical and descriptive perspective. It also touches on issues of relevance to other disciplines, particularly Qur'anic exegesis and jurisprudence. The links between the fields of language and religion are historically strong in the Arabic and Islamic traditions as so much time and effort was spent by grammarians in interpreting the precise meanings of two of the main sources of Islamic jurisprudence - the Quran and Hadith. Prof Suleiman has assembled an international team of experts in this area and presents a thorough review of the sources and arguments. The book will be of interest to all students, researchers and teachers of Arabic Language and Culture.

Islam and Literalism
In this reading of Islamic legal hermeneutics, Robert Gleave explores various competing notions of literal meaning, linked to both theological doctrine and historical developments, together with insights from modern semantic and pragmatic philosophers. Literal meaning is what a text means in itself, regardless of what its author intends to convey or the reader understands to be its message. As Islamic law is based on the central texts of Islam, the idea of a literal meaning that rules over human attempts to understand God's message has resulted in a series of debates amongst modern Muslim legal theorists.
