A Study on the Annexed Preposition in Arabic

The number of Prepositions in Arabic is known to be 20. The major syntactic role of the preposition is to govern its object in the Genitive case. In general, Arabic prepositions are divided into two categories, which according to traditional Arabic classifications are 'original prepositions' and 'annexed prepositions'. The annexed preposition is important in analyzing and teaching Arabic prepositional phrases and translating them into Korean. However this area of study has been largely neglected by Korean scholars most likely because prepositions have been considered relatively insignificant compared to other subjects of Arabic grammar. The conditions for an annexed preposition are as follows; firstly, negatives, prohibitions or interrogatives are to precede the preposition; secondly, the word governed by a preposition should be indefinite. In this study, the researcher has tried to elucidate the annexed prepositions and apply their conditions to the second chapter of the Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah.
