Abstract

The question of the grammatical necessity of repeating the preposition or deleting it totally from the (Arabic) sentence that includes the prepositional object has remained a debatable issue among the Arab grammarians over the years. Most of Arab grammarians differ on the reasons for repeating or deleting the prepositions. The researcher discussed nearly all the uninflected nouns and gave examples including pronouns as parts of the uninflected nouns from the Holy Qur’an. The researcher depended in his analysis and justification on the composition theory which was firstly introduced by Al-Jahez (died in 255 A.H.), and then completed by Abdulqader Al-Gorgani (died in 471 A.H.). This research paper is involved with the study of the views of grammarians concerning the issue in question where he cited examples from the Holy Qur’an, poetry and the Arabs Sayings. The researcher added to all of that the rest of the uninflected nouns completing the examples from the Holy Qur’an to prove his point by analyzing and giving reasons for the phenomenon in accordance with the Qur’anic composition, and indicating the significance of the linguistic structure. The researcher introduced results of the study at the end of his work.
