A Historical - Grammatical Study of Genesis 3:15, the Seedbed of the Theme of Enmity in Genesis

This thesis argues that the Genesis 3:15 reveals a historical progression to hostility and competition between the snake and the woman, as well as between their offspring, which is exemplified by the enmities between Cain and Abel, Noah and Ham, Abraham and Lot, Jacob and Esau, Jacob's sons and Shechem, and Joseph. This thesis uses the Historical-grammatical approach to analyze Genesis, showing how the subject of hostility evolved throughout the book. It assumes that if the context of the text calls for it, there is sufficient latitude to employ other strategies. The thesis's understanding of enmity is informed by אֵיבָה (enmity), which is used in the LXX (ἔχθρα) to refer to foes in conflict among gentiles and personal enemies. The word study supports the idea that family animosity eventually turns into national animosity between Israel and other Canaanite countries. The discussion of animosity in Gen. 3:15 is divided into three parts: first, the serpent's attempt to get close to the woman ends in enduring hostility, second, the animosity that started with the woman and the serpent will be carried on by their offspring, and third, this conflict needs to be viewed in a progressive manner.

The Grammatical Dispute Regarding the Attachment of "Kama" in the Qur'an and Its Impact on Tafsir (Exegesis) Literature

The issue of the attachment of "Kama" is one of the matters that has occupied grammarians and exegetes; grammarians have differed regarding the attachment of "Kama" in several places in the Qur'an. This study is centered on the following question: How does the grammatical disagreement over the attachment of "Kama" affect the interpretation of the verses? This study aims to analyze the attachment of "Kama" in various Quranic contexts, present the grammatical disputes surrounding it, and explore the impact of these disputes on the exegesis literature. The goal is to propose a grammatical perspective that contributes to guiding the parsing of Quranic verses by relying on an analytical methodology in the study. Furthermore, the scientific significance of this study lies in enhancing the linguistic understanding of the Quranic context, providing interpretative insights into Quranic texts, reducing discrepancies in multiple grammatical explanations, and enriching linguistic and grammatical studies related to the Qur'an. Findings indicate that there is a disagreement among grammarians in four instances of the evidence of "Kama" in the Qur'an. Such plurality of opinions in this matter does not imply an error in any of these views but rather reflects the depth, precision, and richness of the Quranic context. The correctness of a single word's attachment to more than one element is considered one of the miraculous aspects of the Qur'an. Ultimately, this analysis recommends expanding the scope of research to include the study of the attachments of words similar to "Kama" in the Qur'an, such as the words "Mithl" (like) and "Ka'anna" (as if).

The explicit narrative proverb in the Holy Qur’an, a grammatical study The story of the owner of two gardens - an example

This study aims to identify one of the many and varied methods of the Holy Qur’an, which is the explicit narrative proverb in the Holy Qur’an. The method of stories is one of the methods that the Holy Qur’an paid special attention to, because of the element of suspense and excitement in it, in addition to taking advice, consideration, and lessons learned. Qur’anic stories are distinguished by advantages that are unique to human stories, including that Qur’anic stories are the truest, best, and most useful stories, due to the power of their influence in reforming hearts, deeds, and morals. In this research, we will take an example of this method, which is the story of the owner of the two gardens mentioned in Surah Al-Kahf, as it is a story that happened and is repeated. From time to time, here and there, at the level of the individual, the state, and the group, there is a perception of a state of arrogance and tyranny that occurs among some as a result of possessing one of the symptoms of this mortal world, such as money, prestige, or power, which makes him forget himself, and this state may push him to insult the believers, belittle them, and degrade them. In this research, we will discuss the verses contained in this story, a grammatical, descriptive, analytical, and statistical study of the sentence, its types, divisions, and position in the parsing.

Patterns of Conversion in the Nominal Sentence in the Diwan of Ali Mahmoud Taha - A grammatical study

This study seeks to reveal the patterns and images that the nominal sentence came to in the Diwan, showing the moral effect caused by the multiplicity of patterns. The method of transcription, and the study dealt with grammatical patterns as the ancient grammarians dealt with them, not as the modern transformationalists, for the ancient grammarians referred to the deep structure not by its term, but by its concept, which is the word (origin) or (analogy).

Personal/impersonal and subject/null subject phenomena in the multi-structural languages

The study examines the functional potential of impersonal pronouns in different languages. The aim of this study is to analyze personal/impersonal and subject/null subject phenomena in multi-structural languages. The novelty of the study is to establish the role of the pronoun in personal and impersonal aspects. To achieve the aim of the study, the following methods are used: lexico-grammatical analysis, structural analysis, contrast analysis, and interpretative analysis of artistic and lexicographic texts. The comparative research was based on Russian, English, German, and French lexicographic resources and examples from artistic discourse in Russian, English, German, and French with their translations. As a result of the study, it was revealed that the impersonal pronoun is a homonym for the personal pronoun of the 3rd person unit. In grammatical studies, the impersonal pronoun stands out as an independent category. A unit known in grammar as the 3rd person pronoun (in German es, in English it, in French il, ce) has a broader functional potential than other pronouns. Namely, it can act in the text not only as a substitute for another word but can also indicate syntactic structures of different complexity: from a word to a complex of propositions. The prospect is to study the discursive nature of impersonality in various types of discourse in different linguocultures.

The Impact Of Applied Linguistics On The Field Of Grammar: A Comparative Analytical Study With The Letter 'و' (Waw) As A Model/ أثر اللغويات التطبيقية في علم النحو: حرف الواو أنموذجًا دراسة تحليلية مقارنة

Language serves as a crucial tool for human interaction. It transcends its basic structure of words, rules, and syntax, reflecting the complex subtleties of culture, history, and the social development of its users. Within the study of language, applied linguistics stands out as an essential discipline that delves deeper than theoretical discussions. It critically examines how language is utilized, its manifestations in various contexts, and its multifaceted applications in human communications across different fields. Central to this research is the exploration of the transformative influence of applied linguistics on the domain of grammar. This study places particular emphasis on the Arabic letter 'و' (Waw). Given its frequent occurrence and versatile role in texts, ranging from the esteemed Quran to classical Arabic literature and detailed grammatical discussions, the comprehensive and precise understanding of the letter 'و' is of utmost importance. Such understanding facilitates both rigorous textual analysis and profound comprehension of linguistic constructs within the Arabic language. To discern the depth of this influence, this research adopts a comparative methodology. It juxtaposes the time-honored traditional grammatical approaches with contemporary perspectives offered by applied linguistics. Through this comparative lens, the study sets out to achieve two primary objectives: firstly, to identify how applied linguistics might present alternative or even more enriched interpretations of 'و' distinct from classical views; and secondly, to elucidate the tangible implications of these interpretations in practical, real-world linguistic applications. In culmination, this rigorous investigation serves a dual purpose. Not only does it shed light on the nuanced roles and interpretations of the Arabic letter 'و', but it also positions applied linguistics as a beacon guiding the future trajectory of grammatical studies. The research accentuates the indispensability of a symbiotic relationship between traditional grammar and modern applied linguistic techniques, advocating for their combined use in achieving a holistic and evolved understanding of the dynamic Arabic language system.

Large-scale pied-piping in the labeling theory and conditions on weak heads

Abstract This paper discusses the concept of weak head in Chomsky’s (2015. Problems of projection: Extensions. In Elisa Di Domenico, Cornelia Hamann & Simona Matteini (eds.), Structures, strategies and beyond: Studies in honour of Adriana Belletti, 3–16. Amsterdam: John Benjamins) sense from a typological perspective. This paper first establishes a novel generalization that large-scale pied-piping is available in a language only if the language has indeterminate pronouns in Kuroda’s (1965. Generative grammatical studies in the Japanese language. Cambridge, MA: Massachusetts Institute of Technology dissertation) sense and the clause to be pied-piped is head-final. To deduce this generalization, this paper first offers a labeling theoretic account of large-scale pied-piping. It then proposes that weak heads are (i) heads that have unvalued features and (ii) morpho-phonologically weak. It is shown that the generalization is deduced from this conception of weak heads, given Inaba’s (2011. The morphosyntax of constituent ordering patterns. The Hiroshima University Studies, Graduate School of Letters 71. 43–72) generalization that head-final complementizers are generally affixal. This paper further argues that the proposed conception of weak heads also allows us to deduce Agree from Minimal Search, which is a third factor principle according to Chomsky (2013. Problems of projection. Lingua 130. 33–49), hence minimizes UG.

Comparison of Four Types of Interrogative Sentences in Chinese and Arabic Language (A Grammatical Study) Grammar

An interrogative sentence is a common sentence used in daily life and communication. The main purpose of an interrogative sentence is to ask questions that the inquirer does not yet know and expects to be answered. There are many types of interrogative sentences in Chinese, mainly categorized into four types, namely general interrogative sentences, special interrogative sentences, selective interrogative sentences, and repeated interrogative sentences. While each type of interrogative sentence has its unique grammatical form and way of answering, there exist similarities among them. Question marks should be added at the end of interrogative sentences, and the tone at the end of the sentence should also go high in pitch. The topic of Arabic and Chinese interrogative sentences has been discussed and studied by many linguistic experts and researchers with many rare research results achieved. Based on previous articles on interrogative sentences, as well as the researchers’ in-depth study of Arabic and Chinese interrogative sentences, but there are very few comparative studies on Chinese and Arabic interrogative sentences. Therefore, to analyze and compare interrogative sentences in these two different languages more comprehensively, researchers will summarize, compare and analyze interrogative sentences in Chinese and Arabic. This paper first adopts a descriptive method to collect information and articles about Chinese and Arabic interrogative sentences, thus laying the quantitative foundation for the research content. The information collected in this article is mainly from grammar textbooks and books written by prominent linguists in Chinese and Arabic, journals published by linguists and researchers, and doctoral and master's theses. The paper then studies various types of interrogative sentences in Chinese and Arabic as the focus, with special attention paid to the similarities and differences presented by the two languages. Keywords: Arabic interrogative sentence, Chinese interrogative sentence, interrogative tool, comparative interrogative sentence, question type.

The Restricted Omission (restriction of a subject to its verb, object, or both) is a Semantic Grammatical Study

This study discusses the omission of the subject and the object in a sentence from a new perspective, which tells that omission represents a form of restrictions; in other accurate words, the omitted form–that is not conceived–shall be deemed restricted, as its omission may mean that the verb shall not be restricted to it. From this perspective, the research tackles the passive verb forms and omission of a restricted object. ‏The research aims to semantically explain omission by proving the point which says that omission may occur to restrict the verb to the omitted form. To fulfill that aim, the research has adopted a descriptive and analytical approach and exceeded this, reaching the application to some positions of omission in the Holy Quran to explain in accordance with this point of view. Organizationally, the research consists of three chapters: the first one tackles the restriction of a verb to the subject, the second one tackles the restriction of a verb to the object, and the third chapter tackles the restriction of a verb to both the subject and object, then there was the conclusion that involves findings and recommendations.

The Grammatical Stance of the Authors of Hawashi Kitab As-Sibawayh Toward his Opinion on the Grammatical Indication of Dual and the Plural of the Masculine Noun

Objectives: The research aims to assess the stance of advanced scholars towards Sibawayh's views, examining their agreement or disagreement and the subsequent impact on later grammarians. The goal is to contribute to the enrichment of grammatical studies in general.
 Methods: The study employs a descriptive and analytical approach to discuss the issue. It presents the attitudes of grammarians towards Sibawayh's statements, scrutinizing and favoring the strong ones while rejecting the weak ones. The grammatical position according to Sibawayh's statements is examined, comparing them with the views of commentators and other grammarians who supported or contradicted him. The grammarians' perspectives are carefully documented, even if not found in their available books, indicating sources with phrases such as "attributed to" when applicable.
 Results: Sibawayh's opinions on the parsing of the dual and the sound masculine plural were diverse, reflecting more than one perspective. After careful examination, it becomes evident that his understanding was either incorrect or subject to misconceptions. The correct interpretation, as deduced from his statements, indicates parsing with letters in the nominative, accusative, and genitive cases. However, the scholars who wrote annotations (Al Hawashi) contradicted Sibawayh's opinion and offered corrections.
 Conclusion: Establishing a clear stance for any grammarian, especially someone of Sibawayh's stature, on grammatical issues holds significant importance, given the potential impact on the grammar lesson. The research recommends a thorough investigation of Sibawayh's opinions from his own works or those of respected grammarians.

Systems in Surat Al-Fatihah (Grammatical study)

The research focused on the systems in Surat Al-Fatihah with clarification of some rhetorical phenomena and interpretation of verses with a grammatical study of the structures of the systems. The research dealt with the phenomenon of repetition and attention and the role of conscience, and the impact of the followers in the systems of Surat Al-Fatihah with an analysis of the supplication of praise that opened the surah. Hence, the reason for choosing Surat Al-Fatihah is because it serves as a beginning and an introduction to the Holy Quran. Just as Al-Fatihah includes: the purposes of one surah, the purposes of the entire Holy Qur’an in general, and the purposes of the verses. It also aimed to pay attention to Al-Fatihah. So, the study methodology chose the descriptive analytical approach based on analysis and comparison, and the study steps focused on repetition and its role in the Qur’an systems, the formulation of the supplication of praise and the followers in the cohesion of the systems and attention in Surat Al-Fatihah.

Construct types in language change

Abstract This article combines ideas and concepts deriving from grammaticalization studies, cognitive linguistics and construction grammar. Specifically, it takes three important ideas developed within grammaticalization research, namely untypical context, bridging or critical context and isolating or switch context (Evans & Wilkins 2000, 2006; Heine 2002), and remodels them with the concepts construct and construction. This enables the definition of three salient construct types present in historical corpora that are placed in the continuum between individual variation and language change: extensional constructs, ambiguous constructs and adaptive constructs. Each construct type characterizes a specific phase in language change. The data presented as illustration of the construct types stem from historical and contemporary corpora of written French, Italian and Spanish.
