Abstract

Voice Search in Ancient Arabic studies

The sound has its impact on language because of its greatest communicative and understanding phenomena. Ancient peoples paid attention to sounds. The Indians were interested in describing sounds to preserve the correct pronunciation of religious sentences, and the Greeks took great care of language, especially sounds. As for the Greeks, they studied their language phonetically, so linguistic studies became part of their philosophical thinking. As for the phonetic search among the Arabs, it was characterized by accuracy, and this is what the people of the West witnessed for this superiority. The Holy Qur’an was a basic and direct starting point for three groups of studies: linguistic, rhetorical, and Quranic studies. Therefore, the signs of audio studies appeared in varying proportions in each of these three studies. Perhaps the first to consider the connection of the phonemic lesson with linguistic, morphological and grammatical studies is Al-Khalil, who built the arrangement of sounds on a logical basis, and came out with an eye dictionary, to be, rightly, the owner of this science, and its first pioneer. Then his student Sibawayh followed him, following in the footsteps of his teacher, and added to this science what testifies to him of his precedence in it, and the scholars of grammar and reading after him followed his doctrine. Then he took on the burdens of the linguistic voice after Al-Khalil the linguistic Ibn Jinni, bypassing the stage of construction and foundation to the stage of rooting, and exposed to sound issues in his two books: The Secret of the Syntax Industry, and Characteristics in Very Accurate Research.
