Plurals in Arabic that Speakers did not Articulate their Singulars or Use them in Speech
Keywords:
Plurals, Arabs, Singulars, Speech, ArabicAbstract
The purpose of this research was to survey the plurals that the Arabs
did not articulate their singulars or use in their speech, and so the plural
appears without its singular, or it came in such a way that differs when used
as singular. The purpose is to gather and arrange these cases alphabetically
in order fo form the core of linguistic dictionary of plurals.
The research showed that there were some reasons for the differences
between the plural and its singular and that Arabs‘ abstaining from using
the singular forms of these plurals was not due to incapability or
incompetence, but because they got along with something else in their
language and what existed in large amounts in their speech. The research
also showed that many of these plurals were controversial and Arab scholars
assumed, in many cases, some singulars even if they were not used.
