Les valeurs temporelles et modales du verbe dans la langue Arabe: Perspectives comparatives

Abstract

The Temporal and Modal Values of the Verb in the Arabic Language: Comparative Perspectives

It is commonly known that Arabic morphology is non-concatenative; In this sense, word forms are composed of interwoven morphemes They are based on a consonantal root that carries a semantic load, a vocalic pattern that conveys a syntactic function, and a skeletal morpheme with a canonical shape that reveals a particular meaning to fulfill a grammatical function
In this research work, we focus only on the perfective and imperfective as well as their particularities within the Arabic morphological system A great attention is given to the values of both tenses This mechanism has been tackled from a comparative perspective where two different languages (Arabic and French) are subjected to analysis The resulted differences will serve for a theoretical framework within a general theory of translation; This work is an attempt to describe the mechanisms of morphological construction in Arabic. We focused mainly on the values of the accomplished and the unaccomplished in order to disambiguate certain equivalences between Arabic and French in any translation act.
