Ibn Iyaz’s objections to the grammarians

Abstract

Ibn Iyaz can be considered a great grammarian who gained fame from his teaching at the Mustansiriya School. Grammarians attested to his science and knowledge. He used to explain and object a lot, and you would not see an issue pass by without finding him addressing it with reasoning and objection. His objections to the grammarians in his book The Rules of Discourse were not out of showing shortcomings or errors or tracing errors, but rather out of stating the opinion that he might object to, presenting evidence and argument, or simply objecting.

The research was divided into two sections: the first briefly dealt with Ibn Iyaz and his book The Rules of Disputation and Objection Linguistically and Terminologically, and the second was a collection of issues rhymed with a conclusion and a list of sources and references.
