The Role Of Arabic Propositions In Determining The Transitivity Of Verbs

Summary/Abstract: In the Arabic language, propositions are an important tool for transforming intransitive verbs into transitive verbs. When coming across a verb, the semantics of propositions are reflected in two ways: either by determining the semantics of the verb in question, or by way of semantic transition. The propositions which take part in making a verb transitive can change the meaning of the verb or even of the whole sentence. A verb whose transitivity is linked to various propositions can effect different potentials of style which differ among each other in accordance with the differing meanings of the propositions linked to the verb. In this way a verb can become transitive with several propositions without the possibility of one proposition replacing or pushing out the other in the same context. The transitivity of verbs, which comes with propositions, have a major importance and impact on the intention and style of the Qur’anic text. Furthermore, understanding the secrets of the supernatural qualities of the Qurʼan is closely related the position and meanings of propositions. Scholars of Stylistics argue that the ultimate goal of propositions is to unveil their secret, and not simply the question of the genitive case or of mediating the transitivity of intransitive verbs.
