Abstract
While the nominal subject is an essential component in Arabic, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the reasons for its absence. A comparative historical descriptive method is used in the study. Thus, the study discusses the mentioned issue for several outstanding Arab grammarians, beginning with Sībawayhi and progressing to Al-Sīrāfī and Al-Mubarrid. This paper demonstrates that the existence of verbal or contextual evidence that could lead the recipient to know the omitted nominal subject conditions the optional omission of the nominal subject.
