General Rational Rules Affecting Arabic Grammar

Abstract

Arabic grammar is not merely a set of linguistic rules; rather, it embodies mind's ordering and organization of ideas. Arabic grammar demonstrates the human mind's unique capacity for innovation and organization, making it an effective tool for structuring thought and language. This research aims to demonstrate the influence of the Arab mind on Arabic grammar by collecting and studying the most important rational principles that have shaped its foundations and principles. The research seeks to provide concrete evidence that Arabic grammar is organized in harmony with reason, and that its grammatical rules align with rational principles, thus significantly contributing to their acceptance.

Among the most important rational principles examined in this research are: reason is the origin of transmitted knowledge; two causes cannot coexist with one effect; a thing cannot be its own cause; every event must have a cause; the cause precedes the effect; non-existence cannot be used as an explanation; and there is no separation between cause and effect. Due to space constraints, not all rules were studied, leaving room for future research. This research employs a descriptive-analytical approach, collecting rational principles and demonstrating their impact on Arabic grammar. It concluded with results which I mentioned in the conclusion of the research.
