Of the patterns of sculpture in the Arabic language (a study of a sample of models)

Abstract

Sculpture can be defined as the combination of two or more words into one
word which can indicate the meaning of all the combined words together. The
Arabic language had known four types of sculpture which are: the verbal sculpture, the proportional sculpture, the nominal sculpture and the descriptive sculpture.
However, in the modern era, the Arabic language was influenced by some
foreign languages especially both the English and the French languages and borrowed from them two types of sculpture that are, the agglutinative sculpture and
the inceptive sculpture. Through research we had been arrived to the conclusion
that the first type came as a result of the literal translation, while the second type
came as a result of the influence of these two languages (English and French) on
the contemporary Arabic language.
