The Role of Phonological Factors in the Formation of the Active Participle in the Old Tamim Dialect

Abstract

In this research paper, I attempt to explore Arabic dialects to uncover some of their secrets. I was fortunate enough to focus on the Tamim dialect, specifically its derivational and phonological aspects, particularly in the active participle, to demonstrate the phonetic influence within it. Derivation represents the vitality and continuity of language, and Arab scholars have identified its types: minor, major, and maximum derivation. This research focuses on the first type, using it to elucidate the Tamim dialect's derivation of the active participle and the impact of sound on its syllabic structure.
