Abstract: The Arabic language is governed by a clear economic system, which manifests in various aspects, including the structure and cohesion of the text, known as coherence and consistency in the language of text scholars, as well as the meanings of morphological structures and the contextual aspect adopted by pragmatic discourse. There are other elements that need to be observed and counted. In this framework, words are similar to currencies; they have intrinsic value and an exchange rate represented by their denotative value. Linguists have recognized the importance of avoiding unnecessary verbosity in speech, stating: "Why speak more when you can speak less?" This is the essence of economics: Why pay more when you can pay less?
