Manifestations of grammatical renewal of Abu Aus Al-Shamsan

Abstract

This research attempts to highlight the manifestations of novelty in the grammatical opinions of Abu Aus Ibrahim bin Rashid al-Shamsan, and "novelty", in his opinion, has several manifestations. It may imply an unprecedented new opinion or expand into an old or modern opinion and theorise it, and it may theorizing also seem like a new clarification for an old opinion. To achieve this target, the research began with a chapter in which I tried to devise the factors that influenced Abu Aus's opinions as his understanding of the points of view of the ancient and modern grammarians. His acquaintance with recent studies and gaining benefits from them and his scientific humbling to benefit from his peers and his scientific audacity. Then, in the second chapter, I dealt with his integrated theory of the declension cases in Arabic, a theory in which he differed from the grammarians’ doctrine. He believes that there are six declension cases, three of which are short and three are long, and he does not see that the letters act on behalf of the declension cases. In the third chapter, I dealt with his doctrine of the articulation and declension of articles or nouns that he considers to have no place in the parsing, such as the demonstrative pronouns, interrogative words, and others. In the fourth chapter, I studied separate issues in which he has new opinions, such as his perspective concerning the formal action, that the implicit emphasis is from the appositive and the conditional statement sentence, and that the imperative verb is not a verb. Then, I concluded the research with a conclusion that mentioned the most important findings and recommendations.
