Abstract

We present in this paper a contrastive study of the broken plural patterns taken by the singular pattern faʿal (by way of example), according to the information provided by Sībawayhi, the most renown of Arab grammarians. His data are confronted with the information gathered in some Arab lexicographical works and a corpus of Arab texts in some available databases. After analysing the method of the Basra grammarian in his collection and systematization of data, the goal is to check if the information collected by him matches the information provided by Arabic dictionaries and texts. We study in particular the discussion of allomorphy cases, that is to say, the use of several plural patterns for a given singular, trying to elucidate whether this kind of allomorphy is free or conditioned.
