Abstract

This research is about the semantic equivalent of sounds in the Arabic language, which is a fundamental component in the formation of utterances. In classical language studies, syntaxists tried to ground semantics at the level of words and sentences. In the periods when the written form of the language was respected, letters were regarded as the basic carrier elements of words and meanings. However, sounds rather than letters, which are products of written form, are the basic components that make up the existence of language. Therefore, the oldest form of a language is its oral form. Sounds can be classified into vocal and consonant categories. This study aims to reveal the nature and importance of vocals in Arabic in terms of meaning. It is a generally accepted idea that vocals have a semantic influence. However, it is a fundamental issue that needs to be investigated in what respect and at what level the vocals affect the meaning. However, it is a fundamental issue that needs to be investigated in what respect and at what level the vocals affect the meaning. The determination that the relationship between sound and meaning exists at a significant level will provide to reach important presumptions about the origin of language and its words. This study concerns Sāmı̄languages in particular and all languages in general, in terms of the results to be achieved. The main hypothesis of the research is to reach meaningful conclusions about the semantic nature of vocals, based on the ideas pointed out by classical period linguists. In this context, the theories of names such as Ḫalīl b. Aḥmad, Sībawayhi, Ḳutrub, İbn Cinnī regarding voice and especially vocals are discussed holistically. The research is based on two themes. These are morphology and syntax. Arabic morphology has sīġas derived by the istiqaq method. Classical linguists have identified ready-made patterns to which words could potentially belong. Changes in these patterns occur through vocals and consonants. In some cases, it is only the vocals that determine the meaning. This issue, which concerns phoneme theory, essentially reflects the characteristics of Arabic language methodology. Because the sound changes between forms essentially involve a mechanical structure. For example, the difference between the fāʿil and fāʿale patterns stems from only a single vocal. However, both forms cause different roles and actions, especially in terms of syntax. Another aspect of the issue is the amil theory. The ʿāmil, one of the most basic methodologies of the Arabic language, determines the meaning on the syntax level. This event, which is specific to iʿrāb ḥarakāt, is related to vocals. Vocals take on various roles with three basic ḥarakāt: ḍamme, fetḥa, and kesra. Ḍamme is thought to be the strongest of all vocals. The elements that are affected by the outcome of the action are fetḥa, and the elements that take on the explanatory role are kasra, the weakest vocal. Apart from all these, sound-related events such as the bilateralism theory, the principle of convenience, and sound symbolism contain information that vocals can have special meanings. In fact, this part of the issue concerns the ontological aspect of language. Hypotheses regarding the emergence of language should prioritize the role of sounds. Similar research can be conducted specifically for different cultures and civilizations. The second important part of the issue is related to the pedagogical aspect of the language. Another goal of this study is to re-evaluate basic topics such as iʿrāb in Arabic grammar from a sound-centered perspective and present them to the target audience. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
