Abstract

This study discusses the omission of the subject and the object in a sentence from a new perspective, which tells that omission represents a form of restrictions; in other accurate words, the omitted form–that is not conceived–shall be deemed restricted, as its omission may mean that the verb shall not be restricted to it. From this perspective, the research tackles the passive verb forms and omission of a restricted object. ‏The research aims to semantically explain omission by proving the point which says that omission may occur to restrict the verb to the omitted form. To fulfill that aim, the research has adopted a descriptive and analytical approach and exceeded this, reaching the application to some positions of omission in the Holy Quran to explain in accordance with this point of view. Organizationally, the research consists of three chapters: the first one tackles the restriction of a verb to the subject, the second one tackles the restriction of a verb to the object, and the third chapter tackles the restriction of a verb to both the subject and object, then there was the conclusion that involves findings and recommendations.
