Abstract |
|
|
| This study probes the “methods of negation of verbs sentences” in Standard Arabic, and compares them to the method of negation in contemporary Modern Arabic dialects. While the SA system uses eight original syntactic forms to negate verbs; the Modern Arabic dialects have developed these eight forms into approximately Forty-four forms prevailing throughout all Arab countries. The research assumes that this development in the forms of negation in relation to dialects is due to morphological and grammatical reasons related to the desire to use simpler grammatical restrictions, and semantic reasons related to the procedures in the context of actual face-to-face communication. To test this assumption, the research works to analyze each of the eight constructions and link it to the constructions that branched from it from Among the Forty-four, the research confirms that some of the eight constructions were partially changed, and some were completely eliminated, such as the construction (will not\ lan- ya-fʔal-a \لن یفعل), which operates in a very restricted future tense. It was replaced by the construction (he will not go\ mā-rah-yiruh\ ما رح یروح) which operates in the past tense. And present and future. The research adopts an analytical approach by comparing the use of the “eight structures” and their corresponding syntactic forms in dialects. Also will provides a statistical readings that describe the development of negation, specifying this development according to dialects throughout the Arab countries. Among the results of the research is that the reason behind the development of the eight forms of negation structure to more than Forty-four structures is due to structural reasons related to facilitating the pronunciation of negative utterances, and semantic reasons related to the context of actual communication. |
