ARABISASI (TA‘RI B) DALAM BAHASA ARAB (Tinjauan Deskriptif-Historis)

Abstract

As a responsive agent, language changes and adapts inaccordance with the development of civilization. So doesArabic language. As the adaptation mechanism (ta‘rib),Arabic language has gone through some changes. Newwords emerge. Some words are formed from the languageitself and some are from others. This study aims to focus onta‘ri> b or Arabization of foreign words and its process.  Theperiodic stages of this process are observed through thehistorical point of view while the phenomenon of the ongoing Arabization is discussed through a descriptiveanalysis. The paper initially is discussing the loan words(dakhil) and formation words, along with the definitionpromoted by linguists about ta‘rib. Contemporary examplesare exposed as a comparison.
