This document summarizes three previous international conferences on the foundations of Arabic linguistics:
FAL1 focused on the 8th century grammarian Sibawayhi and earliest Arabic grammatical theory. FAL2 explored the transmission and interpretation of Sibawayhi's seminal work "Kitab". FAL3 examined the development of the Arabic linguistic tradition, addressing both continuity from Sibawayhi's work and areas of change over time as the language situation evolved after his era. The conferences brought together Arabists and linguists to advance understanding of the influential yet still developing Arabic grammatical tradition.

FAL1 Foundations of Arabic Linguistics 1 (Organised by: Amal E. Marogy, University of Cambridge) Sibawayhi and the earliest Arabic grammatical theory
Cambridge, 3-4 September 2010
University of Cambridge, Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies Conference Link: http://www.ames.cam.ac.uk/news-events/archive/dmes/foundations-arab-linguistics-2010; http://www.ames.cam.ac.uk/news-events/archive/dmes/foundations-arab-linguistics-2010/abstract Abstract: This conference is designed to bring together Arabists, specialists in linguistics and research students to explore the foundations of the Arabic linguistic tradition and its development. It will focus particularly on the tradition’s understanding of the nature and role of language as a medium of knowledge and communication. Within Arabic linguistics, the eighth century grammarian of Persian origins Sībawayhi occupies a unique position and his Kitāb (the first Arabic grammar) is still the acknowledged masterpiece of Arabic grammatical thinking to date. His work can be aptly described as a ‘communicative grammar’ where linguistic analysis extends beyond the confines of formal approaches. The conference will also offer a special session on the hotly debated issue of possible foreign influences in the formative stage of Arab linguistics. The five linguistic traditions under discussion will be Hebrew, Persian, Syriac, Greek and Sanskrit. The perspectives on language across these traditions, and the similarities and/or differences between them will form the focus of the session.

Foundations of Arabic Linguistics 2 (Organised by: Amal E. Marogy, University of Cambridge)
Kitāb Sībawayhi: transmission & interpretation Cambridge, 13-14 September 2012 University of Cambridge, Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies Conference Link: http://www.ames.cam.ac.uk/news-events/archive/dmes/foundations-arab-linguistics-2012; http://www.ames.cam.ac.uk/news-events/archive/dmes/foundations-arab-linguistics-2012/index Abstract: Encouraged by the great success of the first Foundations of Arabic Linguistics Conference (FAL1), the organiser is pleased to announce the Second Conference on the Foundations of Arabic Linguistics (FAL2). The conference will focus on the reception, transmission and interpretation of Kitab Sibawayhi past and present. The conference is interdisciplinary. It intends to bring together Arabists, specialists in linguistics and research students to engage in a dialogue with the aim of creating a framework to promote scholarship and provide a forum for the discussion of the influence exercised by the Kitāb on shaping the entire tradition of Arab linguistics as well as defining the way linguistic traditions in contact perceived and approached language and communication. The sessions will deal with the Kitāb’s legacy and its fundamental role in defining the Arab grammatical tradition. Papers highlighting any analytical or linguistic aspect of the Kitāb, its šurūḥ (commentaries) or any related works by both traditional Arab grammarians and Arabists are welcome. There will be a session on Sibawayh’s contribution to the formation of other linguistic traditions in contact, mainly Persian and Jewish.

Foundations of Arabic Linguistics 3 (organised by: Georgine Ayoub, Institut national des langues et civilisations orientales, INALCO – Sorbonne Paris Cité) Paris, 23-24 October 2014 Fondation Singer-Polignac (Partenaires: Institut national des langues et civilisations orientales, INALCO; Centre des Recherches Moyen-Orient Méditerranée (CERMOM), INALCO) The development of a tradition: continuity and change Conference Links: http://www.singer-polignac.org/fr/missions/sciences/colloques/590-development-of-tradition- continuity-and-change Abstract: The Arabic linguistic tradition is one of the great traditions in the history of linguistics, with the depth and richness of its reflection on language, the multiplicity of sciences of language to which it has given rise, and its longevity, starting with the seventh century, giving an uninterrupted tradition in the Arab world, till the nineteenth/twentieth century. Until recently, the understanding of this tradition, especially the grammatical one, was, compared to the Greek and Indian grammatical traditions, relatively unknown in the Western world. However, over the past 40 years, this tradition has made large strides, and the principles of Arabic grammars have gained in intelligibility within a framework of general linguistic principles. The first and second symposiums on the Foundations of Arabic Linguistics, held in Cambridge in 2010 (FAL1) and 2012 (FAL2), focused on Sibawayhi’s Kitâb in their exploration of the founding principles of Arabic Grammar. As it is well known, Sibawayhi’s Kitâb, an eighth century book, is the first Arabic grammar that reaches us, and is, undoubtedly, one of the greatest works in the history of linguistics, as well as the most authoritative book in the long history of Arabic Grammar. It establishes the founding principles of Arabic Grammar and has a profound influence upon later authors and sciences of language. After Sibawayhi’s time, considerable changes intervened in the linguistic situation. What was called kalām al-‘arab by the eighth century philologists (the language of the Arab Bedouins) died as a native language. The data used by subsequent grammarians was, for the most part, that which had been given by Sibawayhi. But grammars subsequently changed. What precisely changed? How were the founding principles of grammar affected by these changes? Many answers have been given by the scholars. Determining what has remained unaltered and what has changed gives us a further understanding and a new perspective with which to appreciate cultural and historical impacts on Arabic Grammar and to scrutinize Sibawayhi’s Kitâb founding principles themselves. This third symposium on the Foundations of Arabic Linguistics will continue to explore Sibawayhi’s Kitâb, but will also aim to extend the study to the entire grammatical tradition, and, eventually, to investigate the founding principles of Arabic linguistics in other Arabic sciences of language.
