Abstract AR
يعرض هذا البحث تطبيقا لنظرية Optimality Theory على حقائق تحديد النبرة (Stress) في اللهجة الأردنية فبعد توضح هذه الحقائق أبين بأن وصفها من خلال النظريات السابقة للنظرية المذكورة آنفا لا يخلو من العيوب خاصة في ضوء ظهور عدم صلاحية بعض معتقدات النظريات السابقة من مثل مفهوم القاعدة الصوتية (Phonological Rule) و مفهوم التطبيق الحلقي للقاعدة (Cyclic application) و مفهوم المكونات الخارجة عن الحلقة الصوتية (Extrametricality)، ثم أبين أن Optimality Theory تأتي كبديل أفضل لتلك النظريات بتخليها عن المفاهيم السابقة و اعتماد مجموع من القيود (Constraints) تتداخل فيما بينها لتحكم النظام الصوتي للغة.
Abstract EN
This paper is an attempt to project the Optimality Theory of phonology on the facts of stress assignment in Jordanian Arabic.
After presenting these facts, I argue that accounts of these facts in previous approaches face serious problems, especially when such accounts are viewed in light of recent findings questioning the viability of such major tenets of earlier approaches as the concept of rule, extrametricality, and cyclic application of rules.
I argue further that the Optimality Theorty framework allows one to provide a simple and natural explanation for the stress assignment rules by using a hierarchy of a small number of universal and language specific constraints.
The conclusion I draw in this paper is that the Optimality Theory framework stands as a better alternative for phonological analysis than previous frameworks such as Metrical Phonology.
