تحليل صواتي لقواعد المائعات في رواية السوسي عن أبي عمرو

Abstract

This research seeks a modern phonetic study of the rules of fluids in al-Sūsī’s narration on the authority of Abī ‘Amr. As science is developing rapidly, we should reinforce the old saying of linguists by presenting a new form of research, i.e., generative phonological analysis within the framework of scientific research. More specifically, the study tries to present new rules and opinions for the rules of fluids in the Holy Quran without leaving what the old readers and linguists did, rather presents or suggests phonological rules proposed by Chomsky and Halle instead of mere descriptive explanations. It aims to explain the analysis of fluid sounds found in Quranic verses as well as the distinctive features that affect the fluid sounds in them. Alternatively, the research questions are: What are the fluid sounds found in the Quranic verses, and how do the distinctive features play their role in influencing the fluid sounds in the Quranic verses? The research relied on the analytical approach of Chomsky and Halle in describing the rules of fluid sounds. The research concluded that repeated and side features play important roles in the substitution and rules of fluid sounds. The derivations of the Quranic verses show the role of two traits [± repeated] and [± side] in converting the sound of “rā’” to “lām”, as well as converting the sound of “lām” to “rā’”, in al-Sūsī’s narration on the authority of Abī Amr.
