An Attempt To Read Arabic Grammar Through Language-Society Relationship

Abstract

Language, which is one of the most important means of communication between people, is a living entity that has laws in itself and ensures the transmission of a nation's culture from generation to generation. In particular, grammar, which deals with the structure of words in a meaningful sentence, form, function, syntax, root knowledge, and style, acts as a shield for the language in this respect. That's why throughout history, with the aim of understanding religious and literary texts correctly, language education and teaching have been carried out through grammar, and the function and norms of the language have been determined in this way. Since the second half of the first century in Islamic geography, activities related to language and grammar studies are focused on religious and literary texts. The main theme of the article is that there is a close relationship between these works and the daily speeches of Arab society. In this context, some findings supporting the relationship between Arabic grammar and the internal structure of the society where grammar emerged are included in the article as subheadings. The article tries to emphasize the importance of taking into account the grammar of a language, as well as its historical, social, regional, and cultural processes, especially in literary or religious texts. As a result, ignoring the historical process and the function of the language of such texts and interpreting them will pave the way for possible mistakes.
