“…According to Odilavadze (2010), Arabic is categorised as having aspect rather than tense. According to Alasmari et al (2018), the perfect and imperfect verb forms in Arabic can communicate many tenses and aspects depending on the content of the sentence. A translation research of tense and aspect was carried out by Zahiri (2014) to look at problematic translation issues and potential solutions.…”

“…The inflectional morphology rules can be used to represent the tense and aspect of Arabic verbs (Truck, 2010). According to Alasmari (2018), the perfect and imperfect are commonly referred to as the suffix conjugation and the prefix conjugation, respectively, in Arabic inflectional verbal morphology. The past tense is normally connoted by the suffix conjugation, whereas the present tense is connoted by the prefix conjugation.…”

“…Because in an Arabic full verb basically contains an element of the actor or subject which is realized in the suffixes of the suffix conjugation and in the prefixes (and suffixes) of the prefix conjugation (Alasmari et al, 2018) Indeed, the Tarkib Isnadi pattern in Jumlah Ismiyyah type can be divided to be more detailed based on the filler of the Khabar function (predicate) as in the division of non-verbal clauses in Indonesian. However, in essence, the categories of words that fill the predicate function in non-verbal clauses, whether in the form of nouns, adjectives, adverbs, numeral, and prepositions in the Arabic paradigm are included in the category of Ism (noun), so it is sufficient that some of these categories are included.…”

This paper aims to explain the concept of Tarkib Isnadi in Arabic grammar and describe the equivalent concept and its components in Indonesian grammar. In the realm of Arabic grammar, Tarkib Isnadi is a core component in the structure of clauses or sentences in Arabic. A good understanding of Tarkib Isnadi in Arabic and its equivalent in Indonesian will make it easier for Arabic learners (L2) who come from native Indonesian speakers (L1) to identify clause and sentence structures in various Arabic discourses. The methods used in data analysis in this study are distribution and identity-referential methods. Based on observations, it is found that the concept of Tarkib Isnadi in Arabic has a concept equivalent to a clause in Indonesian because both have the core constituents or pillars of the sentence. On the other hand, there are also some differences in the concept of Tarkib Isnadi in Arabic with the concept of clauses in Indonesian. The difference mainly lies in terms of the formation of the concept and the filling components of their syntactic functions.

“…The results revealed that the translators often managed to render the semantic senses of the verbs accurately but failed to convey the underlying function. In addition, Alasmari, Watson, and Atwell (2018) also analyzed verb tense and aspect in both Arabic and English. They explored the Arabic and English verb systems using the Quranic Arabic Corpus.…”

Translating the Ten Arabic Verb Patterns into English: A Morpho-Semantic Study

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study aimed to investigate the difficulties encountered by translation students when translating the ten Arabic verb patterns into English. To achieve this objective, the descriptive quantitative and qualitative method was followed. A translation test consisting of 16 sentences which included the ten Arabic verb patterns was administered to a sample of 112 participants who were randomly selected from five Yemeni universities. The findings revealed that the additions associated with the Arabic verb root can create multiple semantic changes which are fraught with difficulties for student translators. The difficulties may lie in the fact that student translators lack basic knowledge and understanding of the multiple functions of the morpho-semantic features which might be due to the translators' unfamiliarity of the multiple and underlying meanings of the morphemes affixed to the root form. The findings revealed that the more features the pattern takes, the more difficult it is for student translators. Furthermore, the pattern with infixed morphemes was more difficult to be recognized than the one with prefixed morphemes. The findings also provide further insights on the importance of integrating the Arabic verb patterns into the translation modules with a focus on the link between form and functions of each morpho-semantic feature affixed to each pattern. Keywords: affixes, morpho-semantic features, root, translation, verb patterns.
