Replacing the Hamza from the Vowels Among the Applicants and Abdel Sabour Shaheen

Analytical Study

Abstract

Substitution is considered one of the traditions of the Arabs in their speech, and it is changing a letter with another letter due to a relationship between them in the noun or in the adjective, where the substituted is removed from it, and the substituted is replaced in its place. It is similar to the accusative except that the two silent sounds. As for the pronouncement, it only occurs between two vowels. This research is concerned with studying the substitution of the sound (hamza) from the vowels (alif, waw, and ya), which is a topic that has received the attention of linguists in the past and present, as the connection of the hamza with the vowels appeared in the old lesson, and this was due to the hamza sharing with the alif one symbol which is (alif), which made grammarians put it with the vowels in one times similar to a vowel, and this led to the permissibility of substituting it from these three letters. As for Dr. Abdul Sabour Shaheen (d. 2012) and the modernists, they considered substitution as a form of similarity, and similarity in all its forms in order for it to be complete, there must be homogeneity or similarity between the two sounds, and this is what was not available between the sound of the hamza and the vowels, as there is no similarity in the place of articulation, nor homogeneity in the characteristics.
