Langauge Patterns and Script
It is only because Arabic is a language of patterns or model structures
ie functions by depending heavily on patterns that a consonantal script
is possible. The Arabs use three consonants for model building: ل ع
ف
- Verbal patterns basic and derived forms
- Plurals
- Adjectives
- Other patterns
My questions:
1. Would you agree with this claim. If not. why?
2. To me all languages depend on patterns and script has nothing to do
with it. However, when we know a pattern we can predict the vowels
easily, dispense with them and use shorthand script
.
