This paper is a critical examination of the allegation or theory that Arabic grammar has been influenced by Greek grammatical concepts. Its aim is to determine whether and to what degree the theory can be accepted as valid. In order to reach a balanced and objective judgment on this issue, a close study is made of the corpus of scholarly literature on the linguistic aspects of Arabic grammar as well as on the historical background of the alleged transmission of grammatical concepts. The paper’s theoretical and analytical approach is based on linguistic studies by J. Weiss, H, Fleisch, M.G. Carter and G. Troupeau. The conclusion reached is that the theory of the transmission of Greek grammatical concepts into Arabic grammar is questionable and needs to be modified.
