Abstract:
Phonotactics is the permitted arrangement of sounds in the language based on the language system of a particular language. Each language has a special way in their phonotactics as not all are permitted in the language although they are sounds from the language itself. The Arabic sounds are clustered in a way that distinguishes it from other languages. The other languages have a special way of phonotactics. Some words have Arabic sounds for example but they are not considered Arabic if their clustering do not fit the way sounds ate arranged in Arabic. Like jim (الجيم) and q?f (القاف) as they are Arabic sounds but they do not occur in a word unless arabized. Also the arrangements of sounds as the عain (العين) precedes the h?? (الهاء) if it is adjacent to it in the beginning of the root and that the h?? (الهاء) does not precede the عain (العين) unless separated. Also the pronunciation of Al - Muhandz (المهندز) is not Arabic because the z?y (الزاي) does not come after d?l (الدال) that is why it is replaced to sin (السين) in the Arabic usage but it is still considered arabized. The belonging of a word to a language does not depend on having its sounds in it or not, it depends on their phonotactics and the ability of language is numerous in forming words but many roots and words were neglected. Most of our old and new scientists have discussed these topics about Convergence and divergence of sounds but using some flipping other than others and they did not reach at a reason for negligence. But if we look carefully we find that the way sounds are arranged in the roots ahs an important role in neglecting a big amount of roots like athakh (عضخ) and it is used in a different arrangement Khathaa (خضع) so the reason for neglecting such cases was unclear but if we traced the rules of phonotactics we find AlKhalil saying that the عain (العين) does not precede kh?? (الخاء) and this can be the reason of negligence. Finally we can determine some of the rules that have been relied on based on the sayings of some Arab figures and we can divide sounds into three divisions : First - cluster sound by conditions like the kh?? (الخاء) should precede the عain (العين) and the shin (الشين) should precede whistling sounds sin, s?d, z?y (س, ص, ز) if combined with them, etc. Second - sounds that never cluster like the عain (العين) and h?? الحاء) ), the عain (العين) and ghain (الغين) , and the kh?? ( الخاء) and ghain (الغين), etc of the other examples mentioned in the thesis Third - sounds clustering without condition like the glottal sounds that reoccurred with most of the other sounds
