Objectives: This study probes ancient and modern morphological linguistic issues; such as verb divisions and tenses, and the morphological scale of verbs, within the ancient linguistic standardization, and the accompanying opinions of modern Arab linguists, in their approach to the concept of time and its divisions. The study also aims to address the morphological scale, in terms of its nature, nomenclature, formulas, phonetic formation (F, A, L), its derivations, and the extent to which modern linguists are convinced of the ancients’ description of the morphological scale, and what it represents in terms of the accuracy and reality of the meter.
Method: The study follows the descriptive and analytical approach, as it was based on examining examples of verses of the Holy Qur’an and discussing them in description and analysis. It relied on the books of ancient grammarians, modern linguistic studies, and comparison between them.
Results: The study revealed that the ancients did not pay attention to the theologians who rejected the grammarians’ divisions of the three verbal forms associated with their three different tenses. The study revealed that there is a disagreement between the two grammatical schools: Basri and Kufic regarding the standardization of the morphological scale of words. Most modern linguists have tended to linguistic realism in the morphological weight of words.
Conclusion: Modern Arab linguists believed that their studies on verbs and their temporal significance, as well as their control of the morphological scale, were within the linguistic reality of them, and they differed from the ancients in many of their ancient standard rules.
