Summary/Abstract: Studying Al-Faraby’s work, with an accent on his contribution to the methodology of language study, we came to the conclusion that he persistently tried to bring closer language and logic. Committed to setting a scientific system and research method which would be based on the reason and argumentation, he significantly rose above his time heavy with the domination of traditionalism. He has to his credit the flourishing of intellectual thought and the founding of the philosophy of language from whose sources the majority of succeeding Arabian philosophers and linguists derived instructions for their research commitments. These statements are analyzed and reasoned in this paper.
