A Comprehensive Study of Arabic Morphology Ilm Sarf Vol 1 / Vol 2

Description

To achieve a deep and coherent understanding of any language, it is of imperative importance that an individual grasps the fundamental and foundational rules along with working on increasing the vocabulary within that language. This volume covers the introduction of Arabic morphology (sarf), building from the basic level. It introduces all the famous nineteen scales with their past tense, present/future tense, imperative, prohibitive, emphatic forms and much more. Furthermore, it builds onto the ‘small charts’ (sarf sagheer) for these words and also provides other words for practice. The compilation also indicates to the ‘special meanings’ and nuances of each scale. Even though this volume does not delve into the ‘advanced variations’ of these nineteen scales, a small introduction to these ‘advance variations’ is mentioned within this volume. Finally, some words regarded difficult in the Holy Qur’an by Arabic morphology students have been mentioned and explained within this volume.

Volume 1 covers the 19 famous scales with a plethora of examples whilst also expanding on the nuance each scale brings in translation. An addendum of the complex quranic words has also been added.

Volume 2: The main purpose of this volume is to cover the ‘advance formats’ of these charts. However, prior to moving onto the ‘advance format charts’, a recap of all the ‘basic format’ charts will be mentioned. In this volume, following the 30 week timetable given on the next side, the student should learn the rules for each section first and then start by learning the charts. However, the main focus should remain the repeating and practicing of the scales, so that identifying and saying these scales become second nature for the student.
