Abstract:

Speech consists of nouns, verbs, and particles, and the verb represents one of its most significant components. From this perspective arises the importance of the present study, which examines the categories of the verb in Akkadian and Hebrew. The research aims to investigate the divisions of the verb in these two languages with respect to its derivation—namely its root and original consonants, whether strong or weak—as well as its patterns, forms, states, tenses, meanings, and conjugational behavior. The study also addresses the classification of verbs according to the strength or weakness of their consonants (strong vs. weak), in addition to their semantic classification into intransitive verbs, transitive verbs, stative verbs, and motion verbs, in a manner comparable to the system found in Arabic.
