Abstract

تتناول ھذه المقالة صوتیّات لغة القرآن من خلال الرسم العثمانيّ . أولاً، تدرس الصفات الصوتیّة للجیم وللضاد وللحروف المُطبقة. ثانیاً، تُبیَّن أنّ قافیة القرآن تُمیز الحروف المجھورة عن الحروف المھموسة. وأخیراً، تُقدَّم بعض الملاحظات على نطق ھاء التأنیث وإدغام ال التعریف. This paper examines the phonetics of Quranic Arabic as they can be deduced from the Quranic Consonantal Text. It first examines the phonetic qualities of the interdentals, the ḍād, the ǧīm and the emphatic consonants. Secondly, it is shown that Quranic rhyme makes a distinction between Maǧhūr and Mahmūs consonants. Finally, some notes on the pronunciation of the feminine ending and the assimilation of the definite article are provided.
