Abstract

 To satisfy with parts of the sentence, or even with one word, is a distinguished phenomenon for the Arabic language; the speaker is not required to complete his sentence if the receiver, the addressed, understand the significance, it is good to restrict to the utterance with, or without, the support of the situational and verbal evidences. The satisficed sentence does not need to estimate the whole meaning. Yet, this phenomenon did not obtain the required linguistic efforts of the ancient linguists who had served the Arabic language. That linguistic effort had been dominated by the teaching tendency that aims to put standard rule; they had put the factor theory with the relating philosophical and logical issues to be a base for many of the grammatical estimations, where words have interactive function.

 The researcher believes that the Arab linguist does not restricted to certain structure style, rather there are different styles due to the different significances or to the different conditions of the speakers and the receivers.

 Satisfaction phenomenon is studied by a method depends on exhibiting the grammatical rules of omitting, discussing it and rebutting it by adopting the description that imitates the used linguistic reality which is far from philosophy and logic, considering the full meaning in the satisfied sentences. The researcher selects the best speech of the Arabs to be the evidence of satisfaction in the Arabic language; it is the speech of Ameer Al-Mo`mineen in Nahjul-Balagha. By studying all the satisfaction types in the Arab grammar, the researcher found that not all of them have examples in Nahjul-Balagha, so the research restricts to what is found in the texts of Ameer Al-Mo`mineen speech.

 The thesis is divided into three chapters preceded by an introduction and preface and followed by a conclusion.

 The introduction tackles the importance of the subject, the reasons of selecting it and the thesis parts, methodology, resources and evidence.
