List of Works
This grammatical study examines the theory of poetic license in Arabic grammatical thought and analyzes its occurrences within Ibn Malik's didactic grammatical poem, al-Alfiyya. It investigates the concept of poetic license as a phenomenon where metrical constraints lead poets to alter word forms or diverge from grammatical analogy, applying this analysis to Ibn Malik's composition in light of his restrictive view of the practice.
