In Arabic grammar, a sentence is essentially a predication to which adjuncts are regarded as surplus that can be dispensed with; however, in actuality, the sentence is built syntactically that has a meaning partially associated with the text in which it is placed, and adjuncts are the means through which the sentence is linked to its text—this is where the issue arises: is the core construction of a sentence predication alone or predication plus adjuncts? Old grammarians and most contemporary linguists still argue that predication is the sentence and that anything past that is simply non-compulsory adjuncts, which leads to the scenario of sentence-text separation and the profiling of Arabic grammar as sentence-bound instead of text-oriented. This study addresses this issue through a detailed explanation of the position of accusative nouns in sentences and texts, highlighting them as adjuncts: indispensable for sentence structure and the main textual element connecting sentence to text—particularly the absolute object, which is the foundation of sentence building and its deep semantic structure. Other accusative nouns and prepositional phrases function as textual modals; the subject commences text and sentence, while the verb has two components: the event (absolute object) and time, which are characteristic of both verbal and nominal sentences
