#This research aims to examine the meaning in adverbial constructions between Arabic grammar and modern linguistics. The idea of this topic emerged through posing three questions: (1) What are the obligatory constructions in Arabic grammar and modern linguistics? Who determines their obligatoriness? Are they truly obligatory? (2) What are the available constructions in Arabic grammar and modern linguistics? Are they truly available when considering meaning, speaker, addressee, and other internal and external factors? (3) Are the non-obligatory and available constructions considered superfluous? If they are, why aren't they deleted? The researcher in this study attempted to answer the posed questions with neutrality and objectivity, seeking accuracy as much as possible. The researcher employed various linguistic and modern linguistic research methods in order to reach the truth. Due to the nature of the subject, the researcher was compelled to use those methods. The researcher arrived at several results in this topic, the most important of which are: (1) The obligatory construction in the Arabic sentence is based on a basic structure composed of two essential elements, the subject and the predicate, which are the main components of speech. (2) The available construction is an expressive space for meaning and does not necessarily violate the grammatical rule. (3) Meaning governs both the obligatory and available expressions, as well as the superfluous elements. (4) The presence of a superfluous element in the Arabic sentence does not mean it can be omitted at will; rather, the meaning may revolve around it or be centered on it. (5) Modern linguistics, with its various approaches such as structural, descriptive, transformational, and others, has been influenced by ideas and theories specific to it, which may not align with the nature and logic of the Arabic language. However, this does not prevent us from benefiting from them if possible.
