The Efforts of Arab Language Academies in Morphological Facilitation: The Arabic Language Academy in Cairo as a Model
Keywords:
academies, morphological facilitation, Academy in CairoAbstract
Arabic language academies are scholarly institutions that have provided services to preserve the Arabic language, thereby safeguarding its linguistic heritage. Accordingly, the goal of establishing language academies was not an intellectual or scientific luxury, but rather a necessity generated by the developments and changes in classical Arabic. The goal was to strengthen ties with society in scientific fields, address language problems, and connect the past to the present. The goals of language academies are almost identical. In this study, we will examine the most prominent scholarly efforts of Arabic academies in Morphological Facilitation, taking the Arabic Language Academy in Cairo as a model, given its uniqueness as a global scientific academy with unique characteristics that set it apart from other language academies concerned with the Arabic language.
