Description

This scientific article comparatively analyzes the classical Arabic grammar schools (traditional Arabic grammar) that formed in the 7th–10th centuries and the modern linguistics (structuralism, generative grammar, functional syntax) methods that emerged in the West in the 19th–21st centuries. The study compares the "amil theory" (governance theory), al-asl and al-far’ (deep and surface structure), and the relationship between form and meaning, which form the foundation of traditional Arabic linguistics, with modern linguistic paradigms.
