Communication theory studies information transfer. A key model is Roman Jakobson's six-element framework. This research compares Sibawayh's Arabic grammar perspective with Jakobson's theory, focusing on conceptual parallels, not historical influence.The study finds that successful communication requires a shared linguistic code. Sibawayh's Arabic grammar provides this code through strict syntactic and semantic rules, ensuring message clarity in context. Thus, his work offers a practical, language-specific application of communication principles.In contrast, Jakobson presents a universal theoretical model. Sibawayh's analysis can be seen as a deep exploration of the "code" element within Jakobson's broader scheme. Sibawayh integrates social and contextual factors (cultural, psychological) directly into his grammatical explanations, showing language as a dynamic, socially-embedded system (a horizontal view). Jakobson's model, however, primarily focuses on the functional structure of the message itself, situating non-linguistic factors mainly within the "referential context" component (a more vertical, analytical view) .In summary, while Jakobson provides a general map of communication, Sibawayh offers a detailed, grounded analysis of the linguistic code specific to Arabic, enriching our understanding of a core component in communication theory from a distinct, application-oriented standpoint.
