ثنائية اللغة و اللثغة في العربية

الملخص EN

This study examines and identifies concepts of dialectal variation and lisping in Arabic the diachronic development of lisping, and the expressions which scholars used while discussing this topic.

Some of those scholars were confused whether to consider certain aspects examples of lisping or dialects.The study does not concern itself with places and aspects of lisping in Arabic as one of the defects of the tongue because the topic has been thoroughly studied and it needs no repetition.

The study reached a conclusion that this duality appeared in Almoajam Alarabi (the Arabic Dictionary) since the time of Alkhail Bin Ahmad AlFaraheedi, but it was also discussed thoroughly by AlZubaidi much more than other scholars.

He, AlZubaidi, referred to this duality in more than 60 places, from which I chose only 50, leaving other examples because lisping was clear enough in these fifty.

The article investigates these expressions, comparing Alzbaidi's ideas with other scholars' viewpoints to determine the truth of this duality, and see which forms could be more acceptable: vernacular or stuttering? or are they just forms of substitution and co-occurrence (ebdaal wa ta3aqob).

The study reached the following conclusions: 1.

Most of lisping causes mentioned in 'taaj alaroos' lack standards of lisping, which were due to substitution (alebdaal) and co-occurrence (alta3aqob) and optional formulas.

Therefore, ascribing lisping to these causes is no more than expansion in its connotation.

2.

Alzubadi ascribed most of what had been said about lisping to the linguist Abu Abdulla Mohammad Bin Altayyeb Alfasi, who died in 1170H, where he sometimes opposed him describing his Shakhe's ideas as extreme preconception.
