The Phenomenon of Phonetic Similarity and its Implications in the Authentic Narrations on Trials in Two Authentic Collections
Asos Hassan Hamad, Abdulrahman Azez Mustafa
This research which is entitled "The Phenomenon of Phonetic Similarity and its Implications in the Authentic Narrations on Trials in Two Authentic Collections" is a linguistic and phonetic analysis of some prophetic narrations about tribulations in two authentic collections. The study investigates the phenomenon of phonetic similarity with presenting a methodological perspective through analysis and study of the prophetic text (peace be upon him), and explores how this similarity can be properly understood within the text. Moreover, phonetic similarity is one of the most prominent and widespread phonetic phenomena in the Arabic language. It is actually considered one of the fundamental phonetic rules that has captured the attention of linguists, morphologists, and reciters, both classical and modern. However, it is a natural intention to reduce muscular effort in spoken language for the purpose of easier pronunciation. According to the early scholars, this concept of similarity appeared under different terms. For example, Sibawayh discussed it in the chapter on assimilation, referring to it as the present tense or similarity. Meanwhile, Ibn Jinni also addressed this phenomenon in detail in his discussion of minor and major assimilation, where he explained how close sounds influence each other, which in turn this interaction of sounds leads to changes in pronunciation. One fact is, all of these beliefs center on a common idea which is the proximity of sounds to one another and the influence of phonetic phenomenon that adjusts sounds within a single structure. The purpose of similarity is to ease pronunciation when sounds share close points of articulation and similar features. In conclusion, the paper highlights the importance of this phenomenon in Arabic and in phonetic studies in general, and clarifying and changing certain sounds within spoken language in particular. The study presents multiple examples of phonetic similarity and assimilation as they appear in prophetic narrations on tribulations, through analysis of some chosen cases. At the end of our study, we also explain why this phenomenon happens.
Volume 11 · Issue 1 · February 2024Genocide and the Assimilation of the Faylee Kurds from Zygmunt Bauman's perspective
Dilshad Sabri Ali
This paper is a methodological analysis research which uses sociological theory, employing Zygmunt Bauman's view of modern genocide - especially the Holocaust - to analyse the process of the Faylee Kurd genocide. The Holocaust undoubtedly manifested distinctive features of modern society, and it reproduced structural sources of genocide that go back many centuries. Some of the main aims of acts of genocide will be discussed, particularly the example of the assimilation and erasure of the Faylee Kurds' identity. These elements are the product of a mentality that is not able to understand modernity and its multiplicities, yet nevertheless, at the same time, one that uses modern tools and systems for genocidal purposes. This paper attempts to show the relationship between the kind of modern mentality in the Middle East that has dominated 'the Iraqi Ba'ath Party' and the Kurdish genocide. It will consider, for example, the efforts of 'the Ba'ath Party' to implement this mentality to ensure that Kurds like the Faylee, who revolted and did not want to accept the hegemony of 'the Ba'ath Party,' would be neutralised and destroyed. This study explores Bauman’s intended warnings that the dangers of Holocaust-type actions and outcomes are still present. After the invasion of Iraq by the United States (US) and its allies in 2003, the Iraqi authorities and regional states continued their policy of extermination and cleansing of the Kurdistan population in general and the Kurdish nation in particular. Such intentions can be seen in the genocide of Yezidi Kurds by ISIS, supported by Arabism and extremism.
Volume 11 · Issue 3 · June 2024Al-Ibdal according to Al-Alusi (d. 1270 AH) in his interpretation Ruh al-Maani
Kubra Jalil Hussein
The phenomenon of substitution is one of the most important phonetic phenomena in Arabic, and much has been said about it, both ancient and modern. So I decided to write a research on it, aiming to conduct a descriptive and analytical study on the term substitution, its concept, and the method of analyzing it according to one of the commentators, namely Al-Alusi. To clarify his position on him. We decided to limit our research to the well-known and common cases in its interpretation that occurred due to the phonetic relationship between the substitute and its substitute. So we excluded those rare cases that occur between distant sounds that do not have a phonetic vowel between them, and we limited ourselves to sounds with united exits, close ones, and in the case of not The presence of an output relationship led us towards the acoustic characteristics of the two replaced sounds.
