The Stages of the Pronunciation of the Voiceless Stops in their Arabic Sonic Contexts


Abstract | الملخص

This study tries to explore the nature of the phonetical stages for the voiceless stops: the stage of closure, the stage of pressure (obstruction) and the stage of explosion through their formation, connection together and completion from both the pronunciation side and the auditory one. Also, it explores the effects on some neighboring linguistic sounds in different contexts. The researcher adopted a method based on tracing the steps of the voiceless stop pronunciation in the context of linkage, as when a stop is followed by a consonant (whether or not it is of the same kind) or with diactrical mark or semi-diacritical one and finally on the context of the stoppage on the voiceless stop. In addition, the researcher shows the forms of pronouncing this stop in these contexts and their effect on the coming sounds. The researcher concludes that pronunciation of the voiceless stops in the Arabic language differs according to their contextual debate so far as their formation, stage-completion and connections are concerned. In addition, the researcher concludes that these stages have an impact on the following linguistic sounds in their sonic contexts.
