A Comprehensive Context-Free Grammar for the Arabic Language: Including Non- Fundamentalist Phrases
Dixon's assertion regarding the idiosyncratic nature of natural languages initiates an
investigation into the unique characteristics of the Arabic language. Contrary to Dixon's
viewpoint, some scholars suggest the presence of regularity within Arabic, attributable to
its extensive array of syntactic rules and formulations. Yet, the copious volume of terminal
vocabulary in Arabic poses significant challenges to grammar development. While
annotations have offered partial solutions, they bring forth additional difficulties due to the
necessity of retrieving data from the annotated corpora. To mitigate these issues, an
innovative study was executed that utilized an annotated taxonomy of syntactic roles,
coupled with an examination of both fundamentalist and non-fundamentalist phrases. A
codification method was applied to a knowledge base employing the Subsumption
Hierarchical Attribute (SHA), enabling the integration of Arabic word classes based on their
potential syntactic roles. The SHA acts as an annotation method for deriving a grammar
class 02, where classes are coded as terminal vocabulary. Its primary objectives are twofold:
to moderate the complexity of the parsing system and to automate the generation of over
1490 distinct possible sentence structures. The study culminated in the development of a
novel context-free grammar (CFG) for Arabic, broadening the horizons of language
