Abstract

Bearing in mind last efforts of Arabian linguists directed towards numerous studies and papers for the purpose of a more correct understanding of linguistic uniqueness of the hamza consonant, especially on phonetically- phonological and orthographical level of words, as well as disagreement among modern and classical grammarians concerning evaluating of its qualities on the above mentioned levels, hamza is at present considered to be a specific phenomenon of Arabian linguistics. Despite the fact that the use of disconnecting hamza in the standard Arabian language is set by a norm, the key issues of disagreement among Arabian linguists which originate from the very founding of Arabian linguistics and last up to the present day are: precise defining of the articulatory place of this consonant, different understanding of its acoustic qualities, common elision from speech which questions its phonemic quality, different orthography conditioned by the type of a vowel of the preceding radical, as well as uncordinated suggestions about the introducing the same orthography in all three positions of a word.
