The Interchange Between The Arabic Voiced Pharyngeal Fricative [ʕ] And The Voiced Glottal Stop Consonant [ʔ] In Hamadia
Résumé: The sound system of Arabic boasts some unique consonantal sounds, such as the voiced pharyngeal fricative “ayn [ʕ]”. A lot of modern dialects in the Arab World, including Algeria, interchange this sound with the voiced glottal stop “hamza [ʔ]”. In this respect, the present study investigates sound substitution in the dialect spoken in Hamadia, Tiaret, Algeria. It focuses on replacing [ʕ] with [ʔ] and vice versa. Data was collected through audio recordings of spontaneous conversations as a primary tool of research in addition to a stratified survey conducted with 90 participants. The findings indicate that indigenous residents consistently preserve both [ʕ] and [ʔ]; whereas, migrants from Medea and Djelfa frequently replace [ʕ] with [ʔ]. By contrast, old less educated migrants from Ayn Defla, Chlef, and Tissemsilt show the reverse trend. The study shows how sound patterns are shaped by social and geographic factors.
