The Apposition in the Akkadian Sentence

Abstract

The importance of grammatical studies of the Akkadian language lies in the fact that it represents a cultural aspect of that language , and evidence of its authenticity and controls governing the its use.The importance of grammatical studies is not limited to the performance function of the language, but it is noted that grammatical studies have their literary importance . Hence the idea came to study an important semantic element of the Akkadian sentence, namely the substitute, which appeared clearly in the lines of the Akkadian cuneiform texts in their various dialects, whether Babylonian or Assyrian, which indicates the advanced and developed linguistic stages that the Akkadian language passed through or reached more than 4000 years ago. Perhaps the researcher in ancient languages ​​and their texts and what they carry of value and precious human legacy will not find what he is looking for anywhere as much as he will find it in the Akkadian texts, which were truly the best ambassador for human languages ​​in general and Semitic languages ​​in particular throughout the ages and eras until the beginning of the Christian era . The substitute in the Akkadian language is known as the noun linked to another noun, the purpose of which is to increase clarification, or the noun linked to the predicate or dependent adjectives and is in the same state as the noun being substituted from, and is usually placed, i.e. the substitute, after the substituted from. The substitute is thus a noun or nominal phrase that describes another noun or nominal phrase in the manner of an attributive adjective, in which the descriptive noun usually follows the described noun and is in the same state .                 The substitute is a dependent that comes after a noun before it , clarifying it and explaining what is meant by it, and the substituted from comes before it, paving the way for it. It is called a substitute because it can replace the substituted from and dispense with it.
