Aspects of Efficiency in the Arabic Language

Document from the year 2020 in the subject Speech Science / Linguistics, grade: 1, Ibn Tofail University, course: Linguistics, language: English, abstract: Linguistics throughout the past century has established the idea that all languages are alike. This idea is well established among linguists with certain evidence presented by theoretical linguistics. The purpose of this paper is to challenge this established fact by providing some evidence in favor of the Arabic language as being, according to the author`s opinion, the closest to an efficient language. The evidence is mainly drawn from the morphology of the language. The paper is divided into two major parts. The first part outlines all the possible criteria for a language to be efficient. The second part demonstrates how the Arabic language matches or satisfies the criteria mentioned in the first part.
