ملامح تقارب الفتح و السكون في العربية

Abstract EN

The present research entitled " Closeness features of al-fath and al-sukoon in the Grammar of Arabic " aims at discovering the relationship that brings closer the two opposite marks, namely, al- Fath (the vowel /a/) and al-Sukoon (absence of a vowel).

The study focuses on the Arab grammarians’ views and summarizes such features in the following key areas: - Occurrence as case endings in the declinable and non-declinable for simplification purposes.

- Alternative use in the same position.

- Equal use in certain positions such as the medial Imala vowel and Jumo'a al-takseer (Broken plurals).

Among its findings, the study identifies the subtleties for not respecting certain grammatical rules.

For example, cases when the present simple verbs are used in the jussive without the presence of the necessary particle.

Additionally, the study explains certain matters that the grammarians call the necessity or the exception
