THE PHENOMENON OF THE GLOTTAL STOP (HAMZA) AND ITS IMPACT ON DETERMINING THE SPECIFICITY OF POIETIC LANGUAGE: AN ANALYTICAL STUDY

Abstract

This research aims at discussing an area of continuous debate which is the method of induction. The Arab scholars have used this method for establishing rules of syntax and morphology between two levels of usage: poetic and prose levels. The study chose an extremely sensitive zone in this regard which is the glottal stops. The study went through ten topics that scholars considered as poetic necessity including: The In-between glottal stop, returning glottal stop to the origin, omitting glottal stop, connecting link hamzah () and mitigating glottal stop by substitution, substituting glottal stop with a vowel ??? ,converting vowels to semi-vowels, glottal stop and metathesis, shortening of Long vowels and Lengthening short vowels. The study has made some important deductions in general, but  also specifically to our topic. The First important conclusion is that inclusion of the aforementioned problems in the issue of Poetic necessity results from lack of Induction. Furthermore, it appears that these problems were commonly found both in poetry and prose levels, not to mention that these deductions have their own conclusions.
