al-Shiʻr al-ʻUmānī wa-Dawruhu fī Ighnāʼ al-Lughah al-ʻArabīyah - ʻAbrī, ʻAbd Allāh ibn Mubārak ibn Sayf; al-Muʼtamar al-Duwalī: al-Dawr al-ʻUmānī fī Khidmat al-Lughah al-ʻArabīyah (2015) (Kuwālā Lumbūr) (Kuwālā Lumbūr : Markaz Dhākirat ʻUmān, 2015)
Omani poetry, ancient and modern, has touched every field of Arabic verse, keeping pace with the movement of Arabic literature through history; and in doing so it drew clear landmarks by which it enriched the Arabic language in both quantity and quality — landmarks that deserve to be traced by researchers for their evident effect on that enrichment. This paper attempts to establish the most prominent of those landmarks, in order to show the contribution of Omani literature to preserving the flow and the soundness of the Arabic language, the language God honoured with the revelation of the Qurʾan.
