The Possibility of Traditional Linguistic Knowledge: Critical reading of some Arabic linguistic models in the light of Karl Popper's epistemology

Abstract

Since descriptive linguistics appeared in the Arab linguistic research circles, there has been a
scientific competition between the supporters of the old linguistic theory and the advocates of
linguistic renewal, And widened the gap between the two teams, a third team appeared to try to
combine the two theories, resulting in what is known as the theory: ' heritage linguistics '. Studies
have been varied in this field between the inspirational readings, which were intended to justify the
primacy of the old linguistic theory in the discovery of these new linguistic issues, and the creative
readings that revealed scientific aspects in the Code of Linguistic Heritage and its proximity in the
light of Western linguistic approaches, Therefore, this research will attempt to study the extent to
which this theory can be achieved by reading some linguistic models. In addition, we will
demonstrate its methodological nature, which allows for its development and progress. will be
presented in light of the principles of the scientific philosophy of Karl Raimund Popper
