It was also found that other categories such as voice, aspect and tense are connected with the shifts of these noun phrase forms. In the present paper I first confirm the argument made in my previous paper: that forms of noun phrases are markers of point of view in narratives. Next, the correlations between these noun phrase forms and various verb forms are inquired into, and the effect of using different noun phrase forms and verb forms in the texts is discussed. The argument is restricted to narratives because these realise textual coherence more than the early fragmentary revelations, and because the points of view in these narratives can be examined through the various persons coming into the stories. In addition, this study focuses on definite noun phrases rather than indefinite ones as, other than when they are first introduced into the texts, the referents in these stories are referred to with definite noun phrases, or more strictly speaking, a number of prophets and other famous persons are frequently introduced with definite noun phrases.

It investigates common features and differences in the way laysa is used in the Qurʾānic Arabic and in Modern Standard Arabic. It approaches these issues from two different angles. One is a brief survey of Classical Arabic grammar books that trace the changes in the way the Classical grammarians explain the usages of laysa . The second is a research into laysa’s diachronic changes from Jāhili verses, which reinforces the hypothesis that changes have occurred in the usage of laysa . Three questions forms the foci of this chapter, namely whether the masculine form of laysa has been used consistently even when the subject of the verb is feminine. The second point concerns laysa’s predicate and the dependent case assigned to it and finally the origins of laysa’s role in negating imperfect verbs. Keywords:classical Arabic grammar; Jāhili ; Kitāb ; laysa ; negation; predicate; Qurʾān ; Sībawayhi
