Abstract

Language is not only an intellectual endeavor; it is also a reflection of society. It is the best means that can be used to transmit societal practices, traditions, and beliefs to others. Thus, sociologists turned to investigate languages to uncover the societal characteristics, influences, behavior and features of members the society. Grammarians, like all other members of the society, share habits, traditions, and ways of thinking with others. Thus, it is expected that their grammar books include real depictions of everyday life and authentic social practices they perform with their peers. This study aims at examining Arab grammarians' books by assessing their scientific content, including societal habits and daily events. The focus is on forms of social violence which were prevalent during the era of grammar writing. Before its creation, Arabic grammar books consisted of lesson sessions held in mosques, where instructors and the students meet, and the instructors explains the grammatical topics through examples. To be firm in the mind and closer to the comprehension of the students, these examples must be taken from real-life situations. This study draws upon the principle of induction, accessing grammatical literature and examining its scientific contents to search for forms of social violence. The result revealed that there were invented grammatical examples, roles and terms in them. This study showed that social violence was prevalent in the Arab environment, where members of the same group perpetrated it with violent terms. There was also another form of social violence against black people and servants of the wealthy. Our research also found another violence against women in these communities which favored males over females and saw them as inferior.
