Abstract
In this chapter, the author thinks of contribution to the Festschrift for Ramzi Baalbaki in the form of an e -based verification, in Sībawayhi’s Kitāb , of his arguments about ḥikāya particles. On the instigation of Pierre Larcher, the author suggests a formalized Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) Sentence Grammar. The author comments on several aspects of the testing of an operational formal grammar for the e -analysis of MSA text data within the, language independent, Afffix Grammar over Finite Lattices (AGFL) processing environment for, among others, natural languages. He examines his description at certain corpus and ?derived' data samples, exclusively at the upper layers of description, including: the root ?utterance'; several interrogatives; as well as at a number of (forged) declarative alternatives. The author uses, a fully vocalized version of his hypothesis about MSA sentence structure in transcribed Arabic. Its counterpart in Arabic graphemes has been developed simultaneously. Keywords:afffix grammar over finite lattices (AGFL); Arabic graphemes; formal grammar; Modern Standard Arabic (MSA)
