This study aims to explain the development of modern Arabic linguistics through an examination of the contributions of major scholars such as Ibrahim Anis, Syauqi Dhaif, Abbas Hasan, Ramzi Baalbaki, Mahmud Fahmi Hijazi, and Tammam Hassan. Modern Arabic linguistics emerged as a response to the need to reconstruct Arabic linguistic studies so they remain relevant to contemporary linguistic paradigms that are descriptive, analytical, and empirical. Using a library research method, this study reviews primary and secondary sources to identify the characteristics of modern Arabic linguistics and its interaction with classical linguistic traditions. The findings show that these scholars played a crucial role in methodological reform, theoretical reconstruction, and the development of phonology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and discourse analysis. The study concludes that modern Arabic linguistics continues to evolve and holds significant relevance in Arabic language instruction, Islamic studies, and global linguistic scholarship.
