Prepositions and prepositional verbs in classical Arabic
The thesis consists of two parts. The first one is connected with the establishment of Preposition as a word class, and with that class of Prepositions whose association with the governing word is accounted for in a transformational generative grammar (TGG) either by a lexical redundancy rule or by a transformation, e. g. the prepositions associating with the active and the passive participles deriving from transitive verbs. The second part on the other hand is interested in Verb-Preposition-Noun combinations: it tries to differentiate between those whose verbal elements are in close construction with the Preposition-Noun Components, i. e. are prepositional verbs (PV), and those whose verbal elements are not, i. e. are non-PVs: true intransitive or intransitively used transitive verbs. To make an accurate comparison between these two classes of Verb-Preposition-Noun combinations the discussion is confined to the clauses embracing them and nothing but the subjects of their verbal elements. However, the structural peculiarities of the Preposition-Noun components of the Verb-Preposition-Noun combinations embraced by other clauses are discussed as long as they are identical with those of the Verb-Preposition-Noun
