- Language of instruction: Arabic
- Requirement type: Specialization requirement
- Description: This course aims to present the various uses of the sentence and analyze them, adopting a method that guides the student toward understanding the foundations of the Arabic sentence, recognizing its structure, and ultimately mastering grammar with clarity. The course brings together essential grammatical and morphological topics that form the basis of practical language use, enabling learners to speak correctly and write accurately.
The course organizes its material in a gradual sequence, with each step building on the previous one. It begins with foundational concepts that serve as pillars of grammar, such as the types of words, their identifying markers, inflection and non-inflection, and proceeds to the sentence, the function of each word within it, and the changes that affect its inflectional markings. It then moves to the nominal sentence and its governing particles, followed by the verbal sentence, types of verbs, and verbal governance. After that, it covers the accusative cases, the dependent elements (al-tawābi‘), and concludes with essential rules of morphology, such as primitive vs. derived forms, the functions of derived forms, sound and weak forms, triliteral and augmented forms. It also addresses nisba (attribution), diminutives, the defective, quasi-defective, and extended forms, types of plurals, and finally, phonological changes such as vowel shifts (iʿlāl), substitution (ibdāl), and pausing rules (al-waqf). In presenting the material, the course employs the deductive method, which is one of the most effective and logically coherent approaches in teaching.
- Main topics of the course:
- Parts of speech.
- Inflected Words with Secondary Case Markers.
- Definite and indefinite Nouns .
- The nominal sentence and Its Governing Particles.
- Verbs and their types.
