أُسْلُوبُ الِاخْتِصَاصِ: أُسْلُوبٌ يُذْكَرُ فِيهِ اسْمٌ ظَاهِرٌ بَعْدَ ضَمِيرِ الْمُتَكَلِّمِ غَالِبًا مُفْرَدًا أَوْ جَمْعًا لِبَيَانِ الْمَقْصُودِ، مِثْلُ: أَنَا - الْجُنْدِيُّ - أَحْمِي الْوَطَنَ، وَنَحْنُ - بَنَاتِ الْعَرَبِ - شَرِيكَاتُ الرِّجَالِ.

(from previous page) ⟵ The basic rules of grammar and morphology, Umm Al-Qura for Printing, the style of specialization: a style in which an apparent noun is mentioned after a first-person pronoun, often singular or plural, to clarify the intended meaning, such as: I - the soldier - protect the homeland, and we - the daughters of Arabs - are partners of men.

وَقَدْ يَكُونُ الضَّمِيرُ لِلْمُخَاطَبِ - قَلِيلًا - مِثْلُ: بِكُمْ - مَعْشَرَ الْمُعَلِّمِينَ - تَنْهَضُ الْبِلَادُ، وَيَمْتَنِعُ ضَمِيرُ الْغَائِبِ.

Rarely, the pronoun may be in the second person, such as: 'Through you—O community of teachers—the country rises.' Third-person pronouns are not used in this construction.

وَيُسَمَّى الِاسْمُ الظَّاهِرُ الَّذِي يُبَيِّنُ الْمَقْصُودَ مِنَ الضَّمِيرِ (مُخْتَصًّا) وَيَكُونُ مُعَرَّفًا بِـ (أَلْ) أَوْ بِالْإِضَافَةِ وَيُعْرَبُ مَفْعُولًا بِهِ لِفِعْلٍ مَحْذُوفٍ وُجُوبًا تَقْدِيرُهُ (أَخُصُّ).

The explicit noun that clarifies the pronoun is called the 'Mukhtass.' It must be definite, either by the article 'al-' or by genitive construction (idafa), and it functions grammatically as the object of an implicitly omitted verb, understood as 'I specify.'
