The Concept of Host between Linguistics and Arabic Grammar: A Linguistic Study

Abstract

Abstract

 The concept of host was recently proposed in linguistic research as part of linguists’ treatments of the word concept, and their attempt to overcome the difficulty of formulating a general definition of the word that is suitable for all human languages, and controls the rules of its clitics. The importance of proposing the concept of host comes from the fact that it is highly abstract, based on a phonological scale, and includes phenomena in tongues that are not included in the concepts proposed in linguistics, such as free morphemes, bound morphemes. The paper consisted of three axes including exploring the concept of the host and its clitics in linguistics, exploring the host in the grammatical heritage, and showing the manifestations of the dual host and the clitics related to phenomena in Arabic.
