Abstract:
In Arabic, words generally come in certain forms, and the vowel point of
words vary depending on where they are in the composition. This shows that
Arabic is a weighed and parsed language. Therefore, it would be appropriate for
a scientific study on the Arabic language to focus on the subject of
morphological balance which causes the weighing of words and the desinential
inflection (i'rab) phenomenon that determines its place in the sentence. Both
morphological balance and desinential inflection have caused many different
views and hence problems in language studies. In our study, we tried to propose
alternative solutions to some problems that arise in these two important issues
within the framework of deep and surface structure separation. Our thesis consists
of introduction, two chapters and conclusions. In the first part, firstly we
focused on the word and its types, word derivation and sound changes in the
word structure. Later, we tried to draw the conceptual framework of
morphological balance and finished the chapter by talking about the problems
related to morphological balance and alternative solutions within the framework
of deep and surface structure separation. In the second part, we first tried to
draw the conceptual framework of the desinential inflection phenomenon. Then we
talked about the problems related to desinential inflection and suggested
alternative solutions within the framework of deep and surface structure
separation. We conclude our thesis with the results we have obtained about the
problems related to morphological balance and desinential inflection, and
alternative solutions within the framework of deep and surface structure
separation.
