Abstract

A close examination of Muhammad Al-Aboudi’s Lexicon of Classical Origins of Colloquial Terms reveals that Najdi vernacular has preserved many of the classical Arabic morphological patterns and their meanings. Some forms have undergone slight changes from their original classical structures, yet these modifications do not place them outside the bounds of authentic Arabic usage. In this study, I will highlight a selection of commonly used nominal and verbal morphological patterns found in the Najdi dialect. Research problem: There are morphological meters in colloquial Najdi that still retain their connotations that were in the classical language, and there is a need to uncover them. The importance of the research: examining the most important reasons that contributed to the perpetuation of the meanings of some morphological structures in the Najdi spoken language. Research procedures: The research is limited to the colloquial expressions of the people of Najd in the modern era through the Al-Aboudi dictionary.
