Abstract

              The phenomenon of bināʾ (morphological fixity) in Arabic pertains to the final elements of words. Words, as conventionally classified, include nouns, verbs, and particles. Bināʾ stands in contrast to iʿrāb (inflection), whose function is to determine the syntactic role of a word—such as subjecthood, objecthood, or genitive construction—through changes in its endings. These grammatical roles may also be inferred from syntactic position in the case of indeclinable forms. According to Ibn Jinnī, bināʾ is the consistent fixing of a word's final vowel or consonant in a specific form, not due to any syntactic factor or governing agent.
            This study embarks on with an overview of Ibn al-Khayyāt and his poetry, followed by a detailed investigation of the concept of bināʾ, both linguistically and terminologically, as it appears in classical and modern linguistic sources that dealt with bināʾ and its functions, types, and classifications. In Addition, it is glossed by statistical analysis illustrated through charts and tables.
             Moreover, the study examines the categories of indeclinable nouns and provides a practical analytical section on the panegyrics of Ibn al-Khayyāt. This analysis is supported by illustrative statistical tables and percentages. The research concludes with a summary of the key findings and a bibliography of sources and references that served the study.
