Analyzing Muhammad Hamasa Abd al-Latif's grammatical views according to Chomsky's generative-transformational theory

One of the important issues in the affairs of the Arabic is the study of the relationship of this language with modern linguistic research theories, especially after the emergence of the new science of language as an independent science. At the beginning of the twentieth century, when the direction of linguistic studies changed with the ideas and orientations of the linguist, Ferdinand de Saussure, linguistic research in the Arab world was affected by these trends, especially after Noam Chomsky presented his transformational generative theory. This theory provided a methodological framework for researchers in the Arabic language, as they tried to conform to the idea of the universality of grammar that was one of the endowments of this theory, so they applied some of its concepts to the Arabic language. The authors of this research have noticed that there is a relationship between the approaches and perceptions of contemporary Arab linguists in the study of their Arabic grammar and Chomsky's efforts in his transformational generative theory. This research, based on the descriptive-analytical method, aimed to reveal the grammatical views of Muhammad Hamasa Abd al-Latif and his preferences according to the transformational generative theory. Among the most important findings of the study are; Chomsky believes, in his generative-transformational theory, the superficial structure and the deep structure of sentences, and Abd al-Latif agrees with this view, and Abd al-Latif believes that the syntax as a whole and intonation also reveal the deep structure. Abd al-Latif refers to the importance of the position, the position and the context, and this reference indicates that he is bound by the generative-transformative approach that does not care about the context of the position or the position.
