This research aims to examine significant examples from the book Al-Bayan fi Gharib I’rab Al-Quran by Ibn Al-Anbari, in order to trace the impact of dialectal specificity as an effective tool and a standard criterion in guiding linguistic judgments. The research highlights the scope of this influence, especially in instances where parsing is challenging or disputed.

The study addresses selected and concise issues related to orthographic, grammatical, morphological, or phonological rules, or those associated with Quranic readings, in light of the discussions led by grammarians and linguists on each issue individually. The purpose is to clarify the role of dialectal specificity in Ibn Al-Anbari’s approach to evaluating and preferring linguistic judgments as reflected in his work on this book.

The research concludes that the author highlights a unique importance language specificity of that was not evident among his predecessors, thereby creating an urgent need to attempt to track this specificity, identify its determinants, uncover its guiding principles, and examine the uniqueness of its proponent. This influence is found scattered throughout the book, and the research seeks to present some indicative features, track their measurements, and discuss them.
