Subject: semantic role of Arabic roots query

As I begin an MA research project on metaphor in Arabic, I am looking for
any suggestions for authors, books, chapters, articles, etc. which focus on
the semantic role of Arabic roots.  Since I have no exposure yet to the
topic and undoubtedly the topic is vast, introductory material would be
ideal, but all suggestions are welcome.  As well, since I am a primarily
linguistic anthropologist and still only a student of Arabic, I would
prefer English-language sources, but again all suggestions are welcome and
I'm quite willing to work through one or two key chapters or
articles.  Many thanks in advance for any help.
