This genre, characterized by ornate form and jocular contents, is a good tool of criticism of social phenomena like Islamic law or its language. Al-Hari†ri† bases some of his <em>Maq</em><em>‚amas </em>on the ambiguity of the language of law, by which he consciously shows that such ambiguity exists. He also presents some cases examined by judges, including a charge of plagiarism, which at that time was not considered a legal matter.}, journal={Comparative Legilinguistics}, author={MICHALSKI, Marcin}, year={2009}, month={Jul.}, pages={216–229} }
