Abstract
This study aims at illustrating the role of the "speaker" in the Arabic Grammatical Heritage, in its two stages: "emergence" and "Development". This is due to the intensive care given by "discourse studies" to both the "speaker" and the "addressee" in the verbal situation. That given intensive care was enough strong to encourage a lot of those, who are interested in ancient Arabic linguistics, to examine the ancient grammatical studies. This study was concerned to highlight the concepts which governed the way of analysis followed in those studies. The results were impressive regarding the "speaker", and also were refuting one of the most important accusations, which say that Arabic Grammar was fond of formality in studying speech, and in standardizing its constructional rules.
