Abstract
The weak rection is a syntactic behavior that characterizes verbs indicating a mental or psychological attitude towards the content of a proposition. These are verbs that do not have a real syntactic power over their complements. This article examines the mechanisms of weak rection in classical Arabic, focusing on thought verbs, and highlights the syntactic and semantic specificities that distinguish them from other verbal structures.
