Aspect of Arabic grammar
Compound formation in Arabic represents a linguistic occurrence whereby two or more lexemes merge to create a singular word conveying a particular significance. This process of compounding is a fundamental aspect of Arabic morphology and plays a crucial role in lexical expansion and semantic enrichment. 
Arabic compounds denote significant groupings of words that can construct either a full sentence or an incomplete expression referred to as a phrase. The construction of compounds in Arabic follows certain structural and semantic principles, reflecting the unique features of the language. Arabic compound formation exemplifies the intricate interplay between morphology, semantics, and syntax within the Arabic language, making it a rich area of study in linguistics.
Structure.
In Arabic grammar, the foundation lies in the classification of linguistic units. A single word is known as "mufrad" مُفْرَد, encompasses a spectrum of parts of speech, including nouns, pronouns, adjectives, and others. When two or more words combine to form a compound, it's termed "murakkab" مُرَكَّب. Phrases are called "d͡ʒumla ɣajru mufiːda" جُمْلَة غَيْرُمُفِيْدَة or simply "murakkab" مُرَكَّب, while sentences are "d͡ʒumla mufiːda" جُمْلَة مُفِيْدَة or "d͡ʒumla" جُمْلَة. Further delving into the nuances, compounds in Arabic bear classifications denoting their completeness. The term "almurakkabu nnaːqis" اَلْمُرَكَّبُ النَّاقِص designates an incomplete compound, while "almurakkabu attaːm" اَلْمُرَكَّبُ التَّام signifies a complete one. This distinction underscores the importance of understanding the structural integrity of compounds within Arabic grammar.
In dissecting the anatomy of compounds, Arabic compounds typically consist of a head (the primary component conveying the main semantic content) and one or more modifiers (additional components modifying or specifying the meaning of the head). The order of elements in a compound can vary, but generally, the head precedes the modifier(s). In Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), compounds can be classified into four types. Concerning the primary element (head) within compounds, it's proposed that N + N compounds, apart from Specific General Constructions (SGC), Adj + Adj compounds, and reduplicated compounds, can exhibit either semantic dual-head structure or lack a clear head altogether. This complexity further enriches the understanding of Arabic compound formations, underlining the intricate tapestry of the Arabic language.
Syntactic classification.
These compounds can be formed through various morphological processes, including:
Semantic Functions.
Arabic compounds serve various semantic functions, including:
Linguistic Significance.
The study of Arabic compounds holds significant importance in linguistics for several reasons:
The study of Arabic compounds offers valuable insights into the structure and function of the language. While Arabic compounds share all conceptual relations with English compounds, they differ in head direction. Additionally, unique conceptual relations in Arabic compounds were identified, suggesting that Relational Morphology can reconcile various types of compounds, including lexicalized and novel ones. This sheds light on the complexity and versatility of Arabic morphology, enriching our understanding of linguistic systems and paving the way for further research in this field.
