Abstract EN

The Conceptual Field of Lightness and Weight in Arabic PhonologyAny reflection on a notional taxonomy, previously used through Arab phonetic studies, is immediately challenged by the diversity of infinite uses of divergent concepts that overlap and interfering, tending, in short, to confine themselves by the semantic charge they convey in gnoseological fields other than those in which they originated, and by the ambiguity which restricts the functional and usable dimension of other concepts, especially those which the precursors have failed to establish as levers of the construction of the linguistic norm with all the necessary rigor allowing them to codify language levels, starting with the phonetic and lexical system, to reach the semantic level, and this, like the Légèreté et lourise, Point of articulation, Phoneme and Grapheme, Principal and accessory, Rhythm and cadence.

As a result, the need has arisen to lay the ground work for a new conception supported by an operative device capable of decapitating the signs of these conceptual variations and of elucidating its effects manifest through the historicity of the Arabic linguistic discourse, thus tending to get rid of confusion and to avoid ambiguity.

As such, we have set ourselves, through this essay, to bring light on the notions of lightness and heaviness and this because of the strong recurrence of the two notions in more than one respect, and their semantic scope nuances that invite more depth and precision.
