Particle AN (أنْ) in Subordinate Clause in Arabic: A path of change
Keywords:
Arabic language, complementizer, subordinate clauseAbstract
This article aims to analyze the development of particle AN (أنْ) in Arabic subordinate clauses. This is because the previous analytical frameworks, both in Arabic traditional grammar and modern standards Arabic, are still non-systematic. Therefore, the author tries to present the development stages of the particle AN. It began as a variant in pre-classical Arabic complex sentences. Later, it became a nominalizer in classical Arabic, then a complementizer in modern standard Arabic, and eventually, a new automation or chunk by merging with high frequent co-occurrence verbs and prepositions. These development stages can explain the fossilized forms during the former development stages that cause non-systematic frameworks seen in previous analyses.
