Abstract

In several manners, languages can vary widely. They can use various sounds, make words with different ways, put words together within ways to form a phrase, and that's just for beginners. A language's dialects can differ greatly of accents, the words that individuals use, the way some people construct their words. Hence, the aim of this paper was to discover the differences between the three languages: English, Arabic and Malay, using the phrases structured from the respective languages mentioned earlier. The analysis focused on the phrases of the structures created as the study looks more closely at the factors that affect the structure of the phrases that make the difference between the languages.This research used the case study as design, since it is suitable for qualitative study and it measures up for analysis and better comprehension of the specific target (Hancké, 2009). The sampling was purposive and three participants were involved in this research to represent each language. Theresults of the study showed that all the three languages have similarity but also a different, unique linguistic features of their own, especially Arabic since it is a language that does not adhere to the rules similar to English unlike Malay, which the latter is similar due to its past history of how the language was formed. In terms of uniqueness, Arabic has the most as it is within the same vein of other languages that are quite unique on their own such as Welsh, Gaelic and so forth, even many of these languages have studies related to them and many marked on the lack of a generalized theory for all of these languages to be put together.
