الاختلاف بين النظرية النحوية العربية و نظرية النحو التوليدي التحويلي

Abstract EN

The study of language as a phenomenon and as a system of controls dealt with by many, in the past and in the present, and there have been successive studies moving between one nation and another, starting from Greece to the Indians to the Muslims.

Considering language as a system that requires understanding it with a descriptive scientific method, and after that, in-depth studies followed, including the theory of the American scientist Noam Chomsky and the theory of transformational generative grammar, in which he put forward new concepts based on a purely rational philosophy.

It led some Arab linguists to believe that it is an extension of what our ancient Muslim scholars left, especially (Hebron and Sibawayh), as a result of the intersections that we find between Chomsky's theory and the Arabic linguistic heritage.

This study shows the natural differences between them, and that Chomsky, even if he intersects in his theory with our ancient scholars, and it is a natural intersection, but he singled out concepts that he brought and did not precede them, neither ancient nor modern.

Moreover, the premises, contents and concepts of the ancient Arabic researches we have are completely different from what we find in Chomsky's theory, even if he had the privilege of reading it and evaluating its importance.
