Sounds (aṣwāt) in the multi-tematic lexicon al-Gharīb al-Muṣannaf by Abū ‘Ubayd al-Qāsim b. Sallām (d. 224/838)

This article is part of a broader research on sounds (aṣwāt, sing. ṣawt) as they were systematised in the context of early Arabic lexicography. It takes as a case study the multi-thematic lexicon al-Ġarīb al-Muṣannaf by Abū ‘Ubayd al-Qāsim b. Sallām (d. 224/838) and more specifically the three chapters respectively devoted to voices, tones of voices of people’s speech and their modulation, and languages and words included within the opening book regarding the lexicon on human anatomy.
