The Meaning of Linguistic Innovations

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: What is meant by linguistic innovations?

Answer:
A linguistic innovation is like this car of yours. This car of yours is an innovation, but it is a linguistic innovation, because it is something new with no precedent. In the beginning, one would ride a donkey or a camel, and now one rides a luxurious car. This is a linguistic innovation. Yes.
