إقحام الصوامت لسانيا - دراسة ابستمولوجية ومقطعية لنون الوقاية مع الفعل الصحيح الآخر

Abstract

This research examines the epistemological formation of the rationale for the term Nūn al-Wiqāyah (the epenthetic nūn) within the classical Arabic grammatical corpus, tracing the concept in light of modern linguistics and syllabic approaches. The study's core problematic lies in the dominance of the mechanical paradigm over traditional grammatical reasoning, which reduced the Nūn's function to merely preventing the verb from taking a Kasrah, thereby obscuring its profound structural and semantic dimensions. After dismantling the linear narrative of Nūn al-Wiqāyah through epistemological excavations, the research highlights the paradigmatic rupture introduced by Ibn Mālik, who linked the nūn to the process of disambiguation. While this constituted an advanced functional leap, it remained an isolated textual instance outside the cumulative system of traditional codification. To establish an explanatory alternative, the study employs the tools of syllabic phonology and morpho-syntactic analysis to demonstrate that the epenthesis of the Nūn represents a response to a dual constraint. First, the syllabic system imposes a phonotactic necessity to bridge the vocalic hiatus by providing an onset for a heavy syllable. Second, there is a morpho-pragmatic necessity to preserve grammatical categories and safeguard structural and inflectional markers from neutralization and erasure, thereby ensuring the integrity of predication and preventing syntactic ambiguity. The research concludes by coining the term "Syllable-Differentiating Nūn" (Nūn al-Tamāyuz al-Maqṭaʿī), positing it as the most precise concept to encapsulate the systemic function of this epenthesis.
