Patronymic issues in Hariris' book "Durra al-Ghawwas" and the points view of modern linguists on this subject

Abstract

In this article we will shed light on the common grammatical errors
that were known as mistakes committed by common people and mistakes
committed by persons of rank, and we will try to analyse them from a
modern linguistics approach, which considers that not all that is contrary
to the proper use of language is wrong, because language is subject to the
laws of evolution in usage, and we may follow what Al-Hariri said in his
book (Durra al-Ghawwas – The Pearl of the Diver Being a Treatise of the
Mistakes [in Arabic Grammar] Committed by Persons of Rank) as a case
study, by analyzing the errors and mistakes related to patronyms that were
mentioned by the author, we also mentioned the views of modern linguists
regarding this issue, with a special emphasis on the works of the Arabic
Language Academy of Cairo.
