Abstract
Transfer is one of the basic principles that organize Arabic linguistic structure; it is among the secrets of Arabic that directs the language; and it is also an indicator that of
Arabic flexibility and internal movement especially because the phenomenon, i.e. transfer, is applied in all language aspects including diacritics (arakāt), letters, words, structures, meanings and styles. In other words, transfer is found in Arabic sound system, morphology, syntax, semantics, rhetorics and stylistics. Accordingly, the research is extremely valuable in the study of Arabic linguistics as each aspect of transfer can be studied separately in future.
