Syntactic Fronting and Postponement in Absolute Nominal Sentences in Surah As-Saffat

Abstract

This study highlights one of the most important phenomena in Arabic Grammar—namely, the phenomenon of word order variation (fronting and postponement) between the two core elements of the absolute nominal sentence. It reveals the positions in which fronting and postponement occur within the absolute nominal sentence in Surah As-Saffat.

It also sheds light on the precise rules governing word order through the grammatical principles and regulations related to this phenomenon, compiling them into a concise study that links the theoretical aspect with the applied one, and examining the causes of this phenomenon and its semantic dimensions.

The study relies on the statistical method and the descriptive method, as well as other approaches when needed, such as the historical method and the analytical method
