ظاهرة التفخيم الصوتي في اللغة العربية : دراسة منطقية-وصفية-مخبرية

الملخص EN

The first part of the study is concerned with 'emphatic sounding' in Arabic as one of the distinguished characteristics of Arabic highlighted by old linguist and Tajweed scholars on one hand, and by modern researchers on the other.

As for the second part, it tackles the movement of the back part of the tongue and its movement toward the pharyngeal area when producing the emphatic consonants.

This is done by using X-Ray pictures taken by Cardiovacular – cardiac cath and Cine- Fluora Scopy machines.

The study focuses on the phonetic differences between emphatic consonants and the non- emphatic ones, with regard to shape of the pharyngeal channel and the back oral one.

The consonants discussed in this paper are /ðˤ, tˤ, dˤ, sˤ/ and their counterparts consonants, in addition to, the uvular consonants /q, χ, ġ/,and the two alveolar consonants /I , r/ in empathic case.
