The Phonetic Supposition in the Diacritics and Structure

Abstract

The phonetic supposition refers to assuming the existence of sound, incorporating it as a linguistic function even though it is imaginary and has no actual existence, or assigning sound a function that contradicts its phonetic reality, or the contradiction between the phonetic assumption and the grammatical and morphological functions. In this study, the researcher examines the phonetic supposition in diacritics and structure, observing the phonetic assumption in estimated movements and in the problem of grammatical analysis by letters, especially the analysis by vowel sounds. How can these sounds be both grammatical letters and diacritical marks at the same time? And how can movement be estimated on a deleted letter "alif"? Thus, we assume the existence of a grammatical letter as well as a diacritical mark that do not actually exist. The conclusion of this study is that it examines the extent of integration and disintegration between the phonetic and grammatical levels, and demonstrates the arbitrary phonetic assumption in the estimated grammatical analysis in diacritics and structure. It advocates theoretical application.
