Abstract

The purpose of the present paper is to show that the prominent grammarian Abū al-Faraj Hārūn (AFH), head of the Karaite Majlis in Jerusalem (first half of the eleventh century CE) was acquainted with the grammatical theory of the important Andalusian grammarian Yehudah Ḥayyūj (d. c. 1010 CE in Cordoba), whose writings had reached the Arabic-speaking east at an early stage, not long after his death. AFH described the grammar of Biblical Hebrew according to the accepted Karaite method and the classical Arabic grammatical theory, but also mentioned Ḥayyūj explicitly by name, and mentioned the latter’s grammatical method in explanations of words in the Bible. In his al-Muštamil, especially in the chapters on the letters, AFH provided explanations using Ḥayyūj’s method; he did not copy Ḥayyūj’s words but described phonological and morphological phenomena in his own words, based on Ḥayyūj’s theory. In other words, we will show that AFH was the first in the Arabic-speaking east to have used Ḥayyūj’s grammatical terminology and concepts, examples and explanations.

摘要本文的目的是为了证明，著名的语法学家阿布·阿尔·法拉杰Hārūn (AFH)，耶路撒冷(公元11世纪上半叶)卡拉特Majlis的负责人，熟悉重要的安达卢西亚语法学家耶胡达Ḥayyūj(公元1010年在科尔多瓦)的语法理论，他的著作在他死后不久就早期到达了讲阿拉伯语的东方。AFH根据公认的卡拉特方法和古典阿拉伯语语法理论描述圣经希伯来语的语法，但也明确提到Ḥayyūj的名字，并在解释圣经中的单词时提到后者的语法方法。在他的al-Muštamil中，特别是在关于信件的章节中，AFH使用Ḥayyūj的方法提供了解释;他没有照搬Ḥayyūj的文字，而是根据Ḥayyūj的理论，用自己的文字描述语音和形态现象。换句话说，我们将证明AFH是东方阿拉伯语国家中第一个使用Ḥayyūj语法术语、概念、例子和解释的人。
