Abstract EN:

This research consists in a systematic analysis of the verbal constructions of classical arabic, in particular an analysis of simple transitive sentences. An investigation of the work of traditional grammarians has led us to reformulate certain criteria of transitivity, and re-examine the problem of word order in these constructions. The relationship between transitivity and intransitivity is studied from the viewpoint of morphosyntactic relations : middle forms, reflexive forms, etc. We then study the characteristics of certain complements, including the dative and locative. Finally, we present a commentary on the verb classes, which have been grouped into 13 tables according to their morphological, syntactical and distributional regularities.

Abstract FR:

Cette recherche est une analyse systematique des constructions verbales de l'arabe classique, et plus particulierement des phrases transitives simples. L'examen des points de vue des grammairiens traditionnels nous amene a reformuler quelques criteres de transitivite, et a revoir le probleme de l'ordre des mots dans ces constructions. La relation entre transitivite et intransitivite est etudiee sous l'angle des rapports morphosyntaxiques formes neutres, formes reflechies etc. Ensuite, nous etudions les caracteristiques de certains complements dont les datifs et les locatifs. Enfin, nous procedons au commentaire des classes verbales, constituees sous forme de tables ( treize tables), selon des regularites morphologiques syntaxiques, et distributionnelles.
