This article analyzes the rich historical development of Arabic literature and the artistic heritage of its prominent figures, such as Imruul Qays, Al-Mutanabbiy, and Naguib Mahfouz. For the first time, the analysis of literary works is considered in the context of the functional role of the Arabic root-and-pattern system and the category of i’rab in shaping the content of artistic texts. The research shows that figures of Arabic literature utilized the polysemantic potential of the language to express complex ideas systematically. Studying Arabic literature masterpieces based on theoretical linguistics is crucial for enhancing language competence and translation practices.
