Abstract

The history of grammatical knowledge of Arabic and English has seen several stages of development; this is shown through many literature reviews. The significant difference is that the Arabic grammar has not changed as much as English due to its information being mainly from the holy book, the Quran. Arabic and English were chosen for this study because the two languages are in the same typology system, that is, inflectional language (also known as the flectional language), which is a language that changes the word; it is called تصريف in Arabic. In addition, both are foreign languages that are chosen to be learned in Malaysia. Therefore, this chapter discusses the history of Arabic and English grammar from their beginnings through their developmental periods. The meaning of grammar for both languages is also discussed.
