It demonstrates Ibn Khuroof's familiarity with Sibawayh's discourse on various issues, highlighting both the precision and occasional absence of his criticisms.
The study reveals the diverse range of individuals targeted by Ibn Khuroof's criticisms, with his approach characterized by moderation in presenting critiques on most matters, though occasionally exceeding this moderation .
Additionally, the study indicates instances where Ibn Khuroof misconstrued certain aspects of Sibawayh's discourse, either due to misunderstanding or drawing conclusions beyond the text.
