حدث التوقع في اللغة العربية : دراسة لغوية

Abstract EN

The researcher postulated that the structures and expressions in Arabic that convey prediction have not been thoroughly researched.

The review of classical and contemporary studies showed that classical researchers did refer to some scattered clues in ancient books, which need to be collected and classified.

Accordingly, the researcher realized the necessity of conducting a thorough investigation.

He noticed that various expressions and structures were used for prediction.

This stud)- aimed at showing the various ways of expressing prediction in Arabic by referring to specific examples and their diverse uses.

Indeed.

Arabic has a variety of structures and expressions to show prediction.

This study adopted a two-fold classification of prediction event: Prediction in the present and prediction in the past.

It also showed ways in Arabic to express each part such as ‘qad’.

‘lamma’.

‘laella and ‘esa’ as indicators of prediction.

The descriptive approach was applied to explore some standard Arabic texts as samples that included illustrative expressions and structures of prediction.

Furthermore, this study has been limited to prediction event as it did not scrutinize other structures such as the continuous, the assertive, and the negative forms unless it was necessary to mention them.
