أثر الصوت العربي على اللسان الإسباني : دراسة تاريخية حول علاقة العربية بالإسبانية

Abstract EN

Language is a complex social phenomenon.

it is inherently related to humans, and its persistence depends fundamentally on their existence and survival.

this complex phenomenon will lose its meaning in the absence of humans, and humans cannot perform any kind of practical activity without language.

therefore, language also reflects many of the organic features of the human being because it grows and weakens as a system, and its linguistic forms go through evolution and change over periods of time.

this change influences language across its temporal and spatial trajectory, and it can occur at the level of syntax, semantics, or both.

more importantly, language shares an essential aspect with humans, which consists of moving from its local environment over to other nearby regions and remote places.

thus, it influences other languages and gets influenced by them through this language contact.

this is a process that we can find in our Arabic language which had spread widely across the world, reaching a country such as Spain.

as a result, Arabic highly influenced Spanish with an abundance of words and expressions in a variety of practical and scientific areas.

as commonly known, when some linguistic forms transfer to different places and get used by foreign speakers, they alter most of the time at the levels of sound, syllables, and semantics.

since this is precisely what happened to Arabic after moving to a Spanish use of language, this will be the core of our discussion in this paper.
