Prosodic Issues and Their Impact on Morphological Preference According to Ibn Jinni

Abstract

our current research, we aim to confirm the relationship between morphology and prosody Based upon the fact that prosody scholars are linguists within both the morphological and syntactical disciplines; with the first of these being Al-Khalil bin Ahmad Al-Farahidi (died 175 AH) and Al-Akhfash Al-Awsat (died 215 AH), followed by Abu Bakr bin Al-Sarraj (died 316 AH), Abu Ali Al-Farsi (died 377 AH), Ibn Jinni (died 392 AH), and many other. Whoever reads their works will find that they have benefited from many prosody topics in presenting their linguistic issues. It is a solid employment of their awareness ((that phonetic study is the foundation of any language, and without it it cannot advance; because its structures and compositions are based on phonetic formations, the exchange of locations, and the possibility of being able to produce semantic images that form the intellectual perspective and enrich its paths)) (Abdul Jalil, Safa Publishing and Distribution House, Amman, 2011 AD, p. 28))Our research, entitled "Prosodic Issues and Their Impact on n Morphological Preference According to Ibn Jinni," presents a new vision for reading the Arabic linguistic heritage at the same time, as it represents an applied study of the laws of prosody and its issues in guiding some morphological issues and topics presented by Ibn Jinni in his books. We decided to clarify it in two chapters preceded by an introductory chapter and supplemented with the research results and a source list for this research. We followed the inductive, descriptive, and analytical approach in presenting the linguistic and prosodic opinions therein.
