Derivation As The Main Way Of Adapting New Terms To Arabic
Foreign language teaching and learning
پژوهشي
Research
The classical Arabic grammarians firmly worked to maintain the Arabic by adapting the non-Arabic terms and applying the potential abilities of phonological, morphological and semantic systems of Arabic language to make foreign terms adaptable. This process was made by several ways on which the linguists relied to keep the identity of Arabic. Derivation is the most effective way by which the non-stopped modernization of Arabic is done. Derivation makes Arabic able to receive the foreign terms and adapt them to itself; it also works as the most important way of enriching Arabic with native words that are semantically equivalent to foreign terms. The ability of other ways to adapt foreign terms to Arabic is checked by the mechanism of comparing them with derivation. This mechanism is based on five criteria: (1) semantic maintenance; (2) easy cognitive access; (3) morphological pattern set; (4) ability to recreate according to the pattern set; (5) applying the Arabic language system of self-defense. The results of this comparison show that derivation is the safest and the most effective way to adapt and assimilate foreign terms to Arabic, it must be called "the trusted keeper" of Arabic.
