Tazmin

One of the most important and controversial questions in Arabic grammar is Tazmin, for which there is no equivalent in English. It happens when a verb takes a preposition which seems unusual in general prepositional phrases. This style of e..pression, considered as a deviation from the norms in ordinary usage of the language, enables us to combine the meaning of the two words in that of a single one. The major challenge is how to adjust the preposition to the verb. Here one can distinguish two main trends. The first follows the Basrian School, which emphasizes the paraphrasing of verbs. The second trend is influenced by Kufian School, which focuses on the replacement of prepositions. The writers of the present article define this grammatical structure by representing examples from the verses of the Holy Qurʹan and discuss it from syntactic and rhetorical points of view.
