Arabic Language Vowels and their Semantic Role in Morphology

Abstract

This is a Linguistic study which explains the concept of vowels which are

a major part of phonetics in general and Arabic phonology in particular. It

shows how much ancient Arab linguists paid attention to this subject before

and after the spread of linguistic corruption. Modern linguists named vowels

and consonants as phonemes vowels play a major role in designing the Arabic

word, This role is transmitted in different ways within Arabic Morphology

as in infinitive verbs, Morphological criterion, diminutive nouns, phonetic

change, vowel change, and others. These topics couldn’t take their final form

or model without short and long vowels.

The study also shows the effect of vowels on the semantic aspects of the

words such as words mentioned in the study as examples called (triplets) .

The study was based on the descriptive analytical approach. This made it

possible to reach the findings of this research.
