مناقشة الدكتور مهدي المخزومي في آرائه النحوية المتعلقة بالأفعال الواردة في كتابه (في النحو العربي نقد و توجيه)‎

Abstract EN

Dr.

Mahdi Al-Makhzoumi is considered one of the modernist grammarians who revolted against the ‘Grammatical Factor Theory’ and called for renewing the grammatical rules and the need for filtering and freeing them from the logical constraints and philosophical judgments which, as they assume, constrain them.

His book On Arabic Grammar: Criticism and Guidance is one of these books which attempted a new approach to reformulate Arabic grammar into a modern form which is not built on the grammatical Factor Theory but on the relationship between utterances in the sentence and the semantic role of the utterance in the sentence.

Although ‘al-Basreein’ and ‘al-Kufeein’ schools of grammar both admitted the concept of the ‘Grammatical Factor Theory’, he just criticized all the scholars of the first school (al-Basreein) except Al-Khalil Bin Ahmed.

On the contrary, he intensively praised ‘al-Kufeein’ scholars and agreed with them in most of their ideas and disagreed with them in few cases.

In fact, he disagreed with all the grammarians in some views and sometimes stated unprecedented ideas.

However, most of the ideas mentioned in his book, particularly those regarding the verbs, were not correct and far from what have been agreed on by the common grammarians.

Moreover, his ideas appeared confused and contradictory in most of the issues.

The present study will discuss Al-Makhzoumi's views on verbs in following sections: Section One: Base of the word Section Two: Parts of the verb in Arabic Section Three: 'being' verbs (kana and its sisters) Section Four: 'approaching' verbs (kada and its sisters)
