Morphological investigations in Madarik Al-Ahkam

Abstract

The Arabic language comprises an extensive range of subjects, with a particular emphasis on morphology in this study. Our investigation is based on excerpts from the text "Madarik al-Ahkam" that pertain to morphology. The research is structured into different sections, starting with an analysis of derivatives as outlined in "Madarik al-Ahkam." These derivatives are classified according to specific requirements. The initial requirement pertains to the active participle, wherein we define its nature, discuss its significance, and address its formation. Furthermore, we examine the process of forming the active participle from verbs that are not trilateral. Moving on to the second requirement, we explore the passive participle and its formation, which includes deriving it from non-trilateral verbs. The third requirement centers on the verbal noun, while the fourth delves into the concept of exaggeration and the various verb patterns. The subsequent section of our research delves into collectives, encompassing broken plural forms, the plural forms denoting scarcity and abundance, as well as collective nouns.
