Abstract

When examining Ezafat, we find that Ezafat exist with all their elements in both Persian and Arabic languages. However, alongside the similarities, differences exist between the two, such as the order of elements in Ezafat. The word order in Persian Ezafat differs from that in Arabic. One of the key aspects of this discussion is to emphasize the richness of similarities between the two languages, despite their distinct language families. Therefore, structural differences are expected, and these similarities are most prominent in semantic Ezafat. The purpose of this discussion is to identify the existing similarities in both languages, demonstrate and establish them between Persian and Arabic, which can be accomplished through library research.
