Dear Arabic list subscribers.

I am currently working on research on adverbialisers (Subordinating morphemes
that mark clauses for time, location and manner) in Tunisian in order to
conduct
a comparitive study with the closed class in Maltese.

Examples of adverbialisers in Tunisian are as follows :

Time : waqtaash (when); tawwa (now); qbel (before); bikri (early) etc.

Location : wiin (where); femma (there is); ghadi (over there); lfouq (up
there);
louta (down there/downstairs) etc.

Manner : hakka (thus); yaser (too much) ; barsha (a lot) etc..


Any works or references on adverbials/adverbs in other
Arabic dialects/fusha which you could recommend would be appreciated.

Thanks for your attention and assistance.
