Abstract

The linguistic aspect is one of the essential components of the Khutbah, significantly impacting the text's formation as a coherent structure that contributes to persuasion and influence. However, it depends on fulfilling textual criteria, including syntactical and lexical cohesion. Thus, the research aims to examine the availability of linguistic cohesion tools in the Friday Khutbah text by Muhammad Said Ramadhan Al-Buti, with an indication of its function at the level of interdependence and correlation between the components of the Khutbah grammatically and lexically. The research utilizes the descriptive analytical method in reaching its primary objective by investing the textual linguistics or grammar in the light of the cohesion criteria that take the characteristic of consistency and continuity in the Khutbah. One of the study's most important findings is that the Khutbah was characterised by employing two main tools of grammatical cohesions, namely reference: indicative and conscientious, and linking with various forms: additional, affective, reversal, and causal. The tools of lexical cohesion in the Khutbah are represented in repetition (complete, partial, and parallel) and the link with the relationship of correspondence and antagonism, similarity, synonymy, and complementarity. These cohesion tools perform five functions: formation of the Khutbah and the connection between its parts, linguistic economy, confirmation of the meaning of a single idea, clarification and elaboration of the focus of the Khutbah, and expansion by integrating several ideas into one theme. Considering this, the preparation of the Friday Khutbah should consider these cohesion tools with other textuality criteria to ensure the success of the message delivered to its recipient.

Abstract

Communication is the primary function of any language in the world, including Arabic, which is expressed in the form of sentences. Early Arab scholars recognized the importance of the communicative aspect in the structure of Arabic grammar. However, later scholars focus on only one aspect of grammar: inflexion. In contrast, grammar is not limited to the conditions at the ends of words. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the communicative functions through grammatical structures in Arabic language textbooks for primary schools in Malaysia (KSSR) for 2017. This study relies on the descriptive method to achieve its main objectives, utilizing Roman Jakobson's theory of language functions as an analytical framework to uncover the communication process and its functions as realized in the language materials presented in the textbook. The study found that using simple grammatical structures is of utmost importance in enhancing communicative competence among students, which aligns with the curriculum's goal of enabling students to use Arabic communicatively with precision in various situations. The study also shows five communicative functions applied in the Arabic grammatical structures in these books: referential, expressive, conative, phatic, and metalinguistic functions. This study may provide new insights for developers of Arabic curricula, presenting Arabic grammatical sentences from a more comprehensive communicative perspective, theoretically and practically, to improve the quality of Arabic language education in primary schools in particular.

Abstract

This study investigates Arabic verbal communication among Malaysian taxi drivers at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), focusing on communicative contexts, grammatical structures, and learning needs within the Tourism Taxi Ambassadors program. Anchored in Hutchinson and Waters’ (1987) framework of necessities, lacks, and wants, the study aims to (i) identify real-life situations where communication in Arabic occurs between drivers and Arab tourists, (ii) determine the core vocabulary and grammatical structures required for effective interaction, and (iii) explore the drivers’ preferred methods for language acquisition. A qualitative approach was adopted, involving focused group interviews with six experienced Malaysian taxi drivers from AIRPORT LIMO (M) SDN BHD. Data were coded and analyzed using ATLAS.ti 7.1.4. Findings revealed 24 recurring communicative situations that span three primary functions: social (e.g., greetings), professional (e.g., providing directions or services), and promotional (e.g., introducing tourist attractions). While drivers possess limited Arabic proficiency, their communication needs demand specific lexical and grammatical competence, particularly in functional sentence patterns commonly used in tourism discourse. The study further identified six preferred learning strategies, including mobile-assisted tools and situational learning materials, reflecting professional requirements and individual learning preferences. This research offers practical insights for designing Arabic training modules tailored to taxi drivers' linguistic realities and learning styles. It contributes to the broader field of Arabic for Specific Purposes (ASP) and workplace-based language instruction.
