A Glance At "Syntactic Entailment" In Arabic Language

Entailment is an issue which Grammar (Sarf-o-Nahve) scholars consider as a subsidiary issue along with the "transitive and intransitive verbs" context in their books. In his book titled "Moghni", Ebn-e-Hosham Ansari discussed it as "Eshrab" with this quote: "Sometimes a word is made to drink (Eshrab) another word, and then the latter is assumed as the first. This is called Entailment." Since Ebn-e-Hosham is a syntactic (Nahvi) scholar, he considered it from a "Nahvi" point of view. Meanwhile, Entailment has a dominant place in Prosody different from Grammar, and Rhetoric scholars have discussed it as "Exposition Entailment" elaborately. Since it is a repetitive subject, we will not consider "exposition entailment" in this paper, in contrary, since any issues about "syntactic entailment" can hardly be found in syntactic (Nahve) books and because of its importance, we are motivated to take a look at entailment in grammar science noting it in Persian language simultaneously. This is an approach that is being neglected. The proof is a very small share, in teaching Arabic grammar at universities and Hawzehs and publications, which has been allocated to this area up to now.
