Interdisciplinary studies in the heritage of Arabic linguistic sciences

Abstract

This research seeks to study the interdisciplinarity in our heritage of various Arabic linguistic sciences, and to know the extent of the depth of this study in the ancient Arabic linguistic study. Although the interdisciplinarity is a Western term or idea, it was found to answer scientific questions by making use of multiple specializations from the humanities, sciences, philosophy and medicine. However, the ancient Arabic linguistic study It was never a single specialty, but rather most of its sciences are linked to each other in a way that complements each other. Arab scholars, and linguists in particular, have become aware of this connection. In fact, in order to know the meaning of a sentence, they would analyze it phonetically, weigh it on the morphological scale, and determine its grammatical position, which suggests the presence of this idea in our Arab linguistic heritage.

Hence, the aim of this study was to: clarify the roots of interdisciplinary studies in the Arab heritage. Although it is not known as a science in its own right, its foundations and principles are present in the study of Arabic language. We cannot study grammar, for example, without studying the sciences of morphology and semantics. Even the science of rhetoric is closely linked to the science of grammar.
