The morphological and syntactic positions for deleting the long vowel from the end of the word for advanced learners. Aphonetic study

Abstract

     The phenomenon of deleting the long vowel is one of the prominent phenomena that our early scholars relied on to interpret the sudden changes in the structure of weak words, both in syntactic and inflectional positions, affected by phonetic conditions that led to the modification of the inflectional structure of those words to fit the phonetic rules in Arabic.

     This research aims to study the contexts in which scholars have interpreted the change in a weak word when omitting the long vowel. It is a descriptive and analytical study within a precise concept of the long vowel, based on the syllabic system in Arabic. The goal is to determine the precise details of the change that occurs when the word is exposed to conditions leading to that.

     The study concluded that examining the changes in the positions where the long vowel is deleted at the end of the word, as determined by the early scholars, analytically relies on the syllabic system in Arabic. To understand the truth of what the early scholars called "long vowels" as an equivalent long vowel to two short vowels of the same type, we need to consider both aspects together. The resulting change at the end of the word can be in the form of shortening a single long vowel, shortening two different long vowels, or actual deletion.
