Abstract
ABSTRACT
The study focused on the Morpho-Semantic structure of
derivatives in Badīc al-Zamān al-Hamadhāni. It sought to answer three
key questions: To what extents has the maqāmāt featured derivatives?
What are the major types of derivatives in maqāmāt? And what are the
connotations of these derivatives in various contexts? In order to answer
these three questions, the researcher had to combine descriptive
approach with contextual analysis. This made it possible for him to
trace, identify, and classify the various derivatives found in the
maqāmāt, and to describe and analyze them appropriately.
The study contributes towards a purposeful application of grammar
rules on relevant classical text, a phenomenon that many researchers
have been calling for in recent times. Below are some of the major
findings of the study:
1. Derivation is one of the crucial tools of generating words and
increasing vocabulary stock and jargons in Arabic language.
2. Derivatives contribute in identifying the actual root of words, which
in turn helps to differentiate foreign words from original ones.
3. There is a clear variation in the degree of occurrence of the
derivatives; the descriptive derivatives occurred 278 times, while
prescriptive derivatives occurred 384 times.
4. The various connotations of the derivatives contributed towards
enriching literary images and portraits in maqāmāt.
