Morphological connotations of the verbal noun structures in the book “Al-Muqtafa fi Dabt Alfad Al-Shifa” by Subat Ibn Al-Ajami ( d841 AH(

Abstract

Abstract:

This study explores derivatives in the Arabic language as presented in the book “Al-Muqtafa fi Dabt Alfaz al-Shifa”, focusing on five main types: the active participle (ism al-fa‘il), the passive participle (ism al-maf‘ul), the adjective of resemblance (al-sifah al-mushabbahah), hyperbolic forms (sighat al-mubalaghah), and the noun of instrument (ism al-alah).

The research emphasizes the morphological structure of each derivative and the methods of forming them from both triliteral and augmented verbs, providing examples derived from the texts of al-Shifa and the commentaries of Sibt Ibn al-Ajami. Additionally, it examines the semantic differences among the various patterns and highlights cases where derivation follows regular rules and where it deviates from standard analogy
