Phonetic Similarity in the Language Refinement of Abu Mansour Al-Azhari (370 A.H.)
Abstract
The sound analogy is one of the important sound laws that govern the relationship of sounds to one another in a single structure. This explains many of the vocal changes that the voices have in the case of overlapping them together. Hence, this study concerns with following up the law of the sound analogy as a sound law on the one hand and as a sound phenomenon on the other hand by one of the most prominent Arab linguists, Abu Mansur Al-Azhari, through his dictionary (the language refinement). The researcher depended in his study on the analytical descriptive method after monitoring the models, images and signals of Al-Azhari for the sound analogy in the refinement. The study classified these references to the analogy in silents, sounds and semi - silos, and analyzed the models of each type in light of the data of modern phonology, as well as reading the views of Azhari In light of the views of other ancient and modern linguists.The models of the sound analogy that are included by the language refinement have covered different types of the analogy. So, Models of the corresponding future macro-relativistic models and similar totals of the next discrete analogy, as well as models of the related macro-structure and the corresponding discrete macro-order were appeared. There were other examples mentioned by Al-Azhari for the partial analogy of the different types, Related and separate ones.
