The Arabic grammatical tradition is remarkable for having organized a large amount of descriptive material within a sophisticated formal framework. The
present study seeks to elucidate the early development of this system from a theory-internal perspective; it is mainly concerned with the development of
the syntactic theory as a formal object, as system of rules.
This endeavor is constituted of four sub-goals: a description of early developments, their periodization, their relation to the traditional account in
terms of the Basran and Kufan schools, and their relation to modern linguistic theory
