Uloga basranske i kufske filološke škole u procesu kodifikacije arapskog jezika
The role of the Basrian and Kufian philology school in the codification process of Arabic

Summary/Abstract: This paper examines the causes and motifs of the constitution of the two most important and historically eldest philology schools: Basrian and Kufian. It explains their contribution in the codification process of Arabic, it analyses the principles and methods on which generations of grammarians based their research of linguistic phenomena from 8th to 10th century, using a fixed corpus of various models from which they took quotations and examples (šawāhid) as a proof for their claims. This paper tries to discover the manifold reasons for the differences between these two schools, especially the ones which are based on scientific arguments, such as: the attitude of grammarians towards the references and models, the principle of analogy (qiyās) of Basrian and of language use (samā‘) of Kufian scholars when making rules and implementing linguistic principles, usage of the principle of explication (‘illa) and interpretation (ta’wīl), creating, choosing and accepting of scientific expressions, etc.
