Abstract

Arabic language is a derivative language, so that words do not live alone, but, unlike many other languages ​​in the world, they only get their true meaning in a lexical community. This feature is known among linguists. On the other hand, this language has another feature, and that is the issue of vowels that generate meaning. Each vowel has its own special features that distinguish it from other movements and vowels, so that it only implies a definite meaning. The aim of this research is to study the effect of the strongest vowel phoneme, long and short Arabic ‘Dhammah’, on meaning in Arabic language and the vocabulary of the Holy Quran. Thus, studying the effect of Dammah in strengthening the structure of nouns, verbs, and syntactic compounds are the main issues of this research. The research was based on the descriptive-analytic approach which investigates sounds in Quranic words and Arabic language. Finally, the results of this research show that Dammah (which is equal with /u:/ and /u/ in English) is the strongest vowel phoneme. This power might lead to strengthening the meaning of words and grammatical-syntactic compounds. So, it is possible to propose a new linguistic principle: the strongest vowels imply the strongest meanings.
