ANALYSIS OF IBRAHIM YAZIJI'S INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO ARABIC GRAMMAR IN THE CONTEXT OF THE NAHDA

Аннотация

This article investigates the innovative dimensions of Ibrahim Yaziji's methodology for teaching Arabic grammar during the Nahda period (the Arab Renaissance). It scrutinizes the underlying reasons for reforming traditional linguistics, which was often characterized by its complexity and disengagement from the living language. A central focus of the analysis is Yaziji's commitment to maximizing the simplicity of presentation, evidenced by his clear language and his reform of cumbersome terminology. The study examines the integration of morphology and syntax in his works, as well as his selective approach to the scope of grammatical material. Particular attention is given to his re-evaluation of the classification of parts of speech and the category of manṣūbāt, which demonstrates a more semantically oriented analysis. The systematic unification of related topics and the reliance on practical examples are highlighted as significant pedagogical innovations introduced by Yaziji. The article concludes that his contributions culminated in the creation of a more accessible, logical, and contemporary system for learning the Arabic language, which profoundly influenced the subsequent development of Arabic linguistics.
