The Foundations of Arabic Linguistics III, contains twelve studies of grammatical theories from the earliest period of Arabic grammar (end 8th century C.E.) and their reception in the later grammatical literature.

All contributions deal with the reception of theories in the Arabic grammatical tradition from the time of Sībawayhi (d. end of the 8th century C.E.) to the later grammarians in the 14th century C.E.. After Sībawayhi, considerable changes in the linguistic situation took place. The language of the Arab Bedouin described by him died as a native language. Grammars also changed, even if grammarians used for the most part the data given by Sībawayhi. This volume aims to determine continuities and changes in Arabic grammars, providing a new perspective on the impact of cultural and historical developments and on the founding principles of Sībawayhi's Kitāb.

Georgine Ayoub is professor of Arabic linguistics at the Institut national des langues et civilisations orientales (INALCO), Paris. She specializes in theoretical linguistics and Arabic linguistic thought. She published La question de la phrase nominale en arabe littéraire (1996) and co-edited La langue et le Sacré (2017). Kees Versteegh is emeritus professor of Arabic and Islam at the University of Nijmegen. He specializes in historical linguistics and the history of linguistics. He published The Arabic language (revised ed. 2014) and was editor-in-chief of the Encyclopedia of Arabic language and linguistics (2006-2009). Contributors are Georgine Ayoub, Ramzi Baalbaki, Michael G. Carter, Jean N. Druel, Manuela B.M. Giolfo, Wilfrid Hodges, Almog Kasher, Aryeh Levin, Arik Sadan, Haruko Sakaedani, Manuel Sartori, Zeinab Taha, and Kees Versteegh.
