أن في كلام العرب : دراسة نحوية

Abstract EN

Prepositions in Arabic are extremely important for sentence structure and conveying the meaning.

It is also an integral part of the Arab's discourse.

An important preposition that I have never studied before has attracted my attention, namely /”an/, which means in English the word 'that', and it has many types that are worth investigating.

The study starts with brief introduction followed by the reasons for choosing the research topic, objectives as well as the method.

The first chapter discusses the types of the preposition /”an/, with the short vowel /a/, and the types of /’’in/, with the short vowel /i/.

Then the study mentioned the considerations of the preposition /”an/ at the majority of grammarians and the Kufians, in two sections.

The study used the analytical collective descriptive method, in an easy way referring briefly to the disagreement among grammarians.

Then the study concluded with the results, the most prominent of which were: the context of speech and the sentence structure have a clear effect on considering the meanings of the preposition /”an/ as they help in identifying its meanings.

Among the types of (/” an/ according to the majority of grammarians are: the accusative infinitive, the reduced form of the weighty /” an/ as well as the exegetical and extra.

The accusative /”an/according to the Arabs interferes with past, present, and imperative.

The study also concluded that the preposition /”an/, reduced from the weighty, remains having the same function, and its noun is a deleted pronoun and its predicate is a sentence.

According to Kufians, rani is also used for different functions like condition, negation, assertion, and with the meaning of /li”/allâ/'lest' and /”iğ/'for'.

The study came to a number of recommendations, among which are the concern of studying the connotation of /”an/, the reduced from the weighty, as well as the extra accusative infinitive as a practical study based on the Holy Quran so that the researchers can extract the treasure of those connotations the matter that may help in understanding the Holy Quran deeply through language and grammar.

The study also recommended that a similar study should be assigned to the students of higher education, with its valuable and accurate information.

Finally, the study was concluded by listing the references.
