Syntactic and Semantic Value of Verbs Resembling Prepositions in Nuzhat Al-Bariyyah by Abdul Qadir Al-Shafi'i A Study in Arabic Sentence Structure/ القيمة التركيبية والدلالية للحروف المشبهة بالفعل في نزهة البرية لعبد القادر الشافعي دراسة في بنية الجملة العربية
Abstract
Abstract
Among the important grammatical elements in Arabic sentence structure are the verbs resembling prepositions, as they perform syntactic and semantic functions that contribute to directing meaning and organizing the relationship between sentence elements. These include: (Inna, Anna, Ka'anna, Layta, La'alla, Lakinna), which operate in the nominal sentence by placing the subject in the accusative case and the predicate in the nominative case. They also add meanings with various semantic characteristics, such as wishing, hoping, emphasis, simile, and correction.
Among the objectives of this research is to demonstrate the syntactic and semantic value of the verbs resembling prepositions in "Nuzhat al-Bariyyah" by Abdul Qadir al-Shafi'i, to illustrate their patterns in the texts contained in "Nuzhat al-Bariyyah," as well as to demonstrate their impact on Arabic sentence structure, and to understand the semantic meaning through linguistic context.
The research also elucidates the role of these particles in achieving syntactic and semantic cohesion within the text.
