Abstract:

Arabic linguists put their efforts to set up grammar rules following the process of collecting linguistic data from the ancient Arabic tribes. While doing this, they had attached great importance to encompassing Arabic language as a whole by those grammatical rules. They had frequently referred to the linguistic use of Arabic tribes in both determination and deduction periods within the above-mentioned boundaries. Some of the tribes that linguists had referred to were accepted as worthy of attention as a consequence of their geographical status. In this study, we examined the place of the dialect of Tamim which was considered as one of the most important tribes in terms of carrying value in induction activity for Arabic grammatical rules. From this perspective, we deal with the term "dialects" as a phenomenon and the reason why they have arisen as well as the sources employed by the linguists in the process of pescribing linguistic norms. In addition, we addressed the effects of the dialect of Tamim among these sources, and the references made to the dialect in question which has been found in the books of Arabic linguistics. Finally, we studied the different aspects of the dialect of Tamim from written standard Arabic
