(أل) بين الحرفية والإسمية (دراسة لغوية)

Abstract

(Al) is one of the tools that are associated with an indefinite noun, so it becomes definite, which is the common thing about it. However, scholars differ about its nature and function. It is a letter, according to some and a noun, according to others. Each team has its own argument, and its types include the definite, the generic, and the present. It is specific to nouns, and if it enters the verb, it is irregular. It may come as a substitute for something deleted, as Sibawayh sees in the name of God Almighty, since the original is: God, so the Hamza was deleted in an irregular manner and replaced with (Al(.
