VARIATON IN EXPRESSION AMONG GRAMMARIANS
Abstract
This research paper reminds those in charge of the Arabic languag development and those who teach it of what Arabic has devolved into, as a hybrid language that dominated their tongues, being broken in their mouths, and its aesthetics distorted. The study looked into the eloquent expression that was among the first generation of grammarians such as Al-Khalil bin Ahmed, Sibaweih, Al-Akhfash Al-Awsat, Al-Farra’ and Al-Mubarrad, who had elevated Arabic to what has reached us from them. While it was damaged by others, whose expression had dried up and became devoid of eloquence, their speech was afflicted by aridity and logic, and there was no eloquent expression in it. Among these grammarians are Tha'lab, Al-Zajjaj, Al-Serafi, Abu Ali Al-Farsi, and Al-Rrmmani. This research paper warned this generation, along with the efforts made among the dedicated people to Arabic in our modern era. The paper called for the preparation of the teacher of Arabic in a way commensurate with its characteristics and aesthetics and for several parties to rise and unite for this great task and save this generation from the harm caused by all means of communication: visual, audio and written.
