Review Article: Abbas Hassan and the Landmarks of the Modern Grammatical School as Reflected in His Comprehensive Grammar Work

Abstract

The importance of this research lies in highlighting one of the pillars of modern Arabic grammatical scholarship, namely the book Al-Nahw Al-Wafi (The Comprehensive Grammar) by Professor Abbas Hassan. This study demonstrates how the author succeeded in framing a grammatical text that bridges the authenticity of heritage with the requirements of contemporary simplification, thereby overcoming the obstacles of rigidity and complexity that had burdened grammatical instruction for centuries. The value of this work is highlighted as the culmination of an academic and pedagogical effort aimed at protecting teachers and learners from the burdens of philosophical impurities and idle arguments that have long weighed down this noble science.
