Shed Light

<p>This research aims to shed light on a semantic aspect of Arabic morphology; the study shows that Arabic morphologists emphasized formative aspect more than the grammatical element which made Arabic morphology difficult to comprehend, it has gone to the level of generalizing some rules without giving semantic element adequate attention. There is no doubt on the fact that the formative element of Arabic morphology has to go side by side with semantic aspect to simplify and clarify its study. However, this research points out the advantages of applying the theory of Semantic /Analytical Field for identifying the characteristics of each morphological forms. The researcher applies the descriptive and analytical method to give a general view of this morpho- semantic study.</p><p><strong></strong><strong>Keywords</strong>: Semantic; Arabic Morphology; Ideas; Visions</p>

This paper was mainly concerned with analyzing the processes of active participle formation in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA). It also aimed to examine the Rural Palestinian Dialect (RPD) in order to reveal the derivation of the active participle in this dialect and to describe any patterns that might vary from MSA. The study was based on the traditional notions of root and pattern which characterize Arabic morphology. The data for this study were collected from various sources. These sources are not researchers but they are people originated from Palestine. Then the data were analyzed in terms of morphology.

Arabic Morphology

This article discusses the study of Arabic morphology. It first considers the root-and-pattern theory, which has become the orthodox approach to Arabic synchronic morphology. It then details the paradigm shift in the mid-1980s, when students of Arabic morphology reached the conclusion that a rigidly reductionist root-and-pattern analysis is fundamentally inadequate as a descriptive tool. This has led to a variety of alternative models, which can be loosely grouped under the rubric of word based or stem based. All such models have in common the idea that many or all morphological regularities in Arabic can be best described in terms of derivational processes operating on words or stems rather than in terms of combinations of roots and patterns.

Linguistic Approaches

This study investigates heritage speakers’ knowledge of plural formation in their colloquial varieties of Arabic, which use both concatenative and non-concatentative modes of derivation. In the concatenative derivation, a plural suffix attaches to the singular stem (muhandis ‘engineer-sg.’ → muhandis-iin ‘engineer-pl’); in the non-concatenative, the relation between the singular (gamal ‘camel’) and the plural (gimaal ‘camels’) typically involves vocalic and prosodic alternations with the main shared similarity between the two forms being the consonantal root (e.g., g-m-l). In linguistic approaches, non-concatenative patterns have been captured in different ways, though the earliest and most recognizable approach involves the mapping of a consonantal root onto a plural template. We investigated heritage speakers’ knowledge of the root and pattern system in two independent experiments. In Experiment 1, oral narratives were elicited from 20 heritage speakers and 20 native speakers of Egyptian and Palestinian Arabic. In Experiment 2, another group of 24 heritage speakers and 24 native speakers of the same dialects completed an oral picture-description task. The results of the two experiments show that heritage speakers’ knowledge of the root and pattern system of Arabic is not target-like. Yet, they have a good grasp of the root and template as basic units of word formation in their heritage Arabic dialects. We discuss implications for debates about the acquisition of the root and pattern system of Arabic morphology.

Learning Arabic morphology that is not a mother tongue is not an easy matter. Based on the questionnaire given to students, the problem they faced in studying Arabic morphology was that it was difficult to distinguish the terms contained in Arabic morphology by 22.9%, the examples used were always the same in each discussion so as to confuse 14.3%, difficult to find examples other than those already explained by 17.1%, one word can be changed into many other forms by 8.6%, not knowing the meaning of each word change by 14.3%, difficult to translate into Indonesian so it is not easily understood 11.4%, and it is difficult to get an easily understood learning source of 11.4%. This study aims to determine the response of Arabic Language Education study program students at the University of KH. A. Wahab Hasbullah towards Arabic Morphology textbook based on contrastive analysis using quantitative approaches. Student response data collection using a questionnaire instrument. 35 students were conditioned in one room and gave an assessment of the textbooks that had been shown to them. The final results of the 15 assessment points showed that the Arabic Morphology Textbook Based on Contrastive Analysis scored 90.8 with a decent category and a very good predicate.
