Al-Khalil's Curriculum in Arranging Grammatical Chapters (The Book of Sentences in Grammar as a Model) Criticism and Guidance

Abstract

The research deals with Al-Khalil’s approach in arranging the grammatical chapters that his book (Al-Jumal fi Al-Nahw) deals with. The research came to explain Al-Khalil’s approach in terms of arranging the chapters of his book. We divided it into several topics. The topic of the presentation and delay in the grammatical aspects came to explain his approach in terms of the presentation and delay of the main and the surplus in the aspects of grammatical aspects. Al-Khalil presented the faces of the accusative, which most grammarians considered (surplus) over the faces of the nominative, which grammarians considered (the main). He counted the faces of the accusative with (fifty-one) faces, starting with the chapter (the accusative of the object) and ending with the chapter (the accusative of the sources that they made instead of the word entering the predicate). Al-Khalil came with the grammatical aspect to explain its linguistic and functional position that it performs, which is a special function like explaining the verbal and nominal sentence (the predicate and the subject), and (the faces of the nominative) (twenty-two faces). He counted the chapter (the faces of the genitive) with (nine faces). He counted the chapter (the faces of the research is divided into five axes: (The first axis: The arrangement of the chapters in terms of precedence and delay in the grammatical aspects (the main and the surplus), the second axis: Al-Khalil's approach to precedence and delay in the sentence in a single chapter (nominal and verbal), the third axis: The overlap of morphological and syntactic chapters, the fourth axis: The arrangement of the chapters in terms of defining grammatical concepts, the fifth axis: The arrangement of the grammatical chapters in argument and disagreement, which includes the following aspects: the opinions of grammatical schools, the names of grammatical chapters, the branching of grammatical chapters that are entitled to be pluralized, the arrangement of the chapters in terms of length and brevity, and the multiplicity of grammatical aspects in a single chapter).
