| description | AbstractThe objective of this research is to establish a connection between Arabic theoretical linguistics and modern linguistics, taking a different approach from the common assumption that later theories are solely attributed to Arab grammarians and rhetoricians. To achieve this, the study will examine Arab linguistic achievements from a modern perspective and highlight commonalities and differences between past and present linguistic theories. Additionally, the research will delve into the Arab understanding of functional grammar and the significant contributions made by ancient grammarians in this area, while also reviewing the evolution of functional theory in the West from its inception until its final formulation . Furthermore, this study will undertake an analytical review of the most significant theories that emerged after Jakobson, to identify gaps and opportunities for further development. The research findings reveal that modern linguists continue to evolve their theories, in contrast to the stunted evolution of Arab heritage due to a reverence for tradition and fear of change. As a result, the research calls for the development of early Arab linguists, whose contributions served as the foundation for language theories in general and linguistics in particular. |
