This work,<br>which addresses linguistic areas of main concern to linguists,<br>phonologists, morphologists, sociolinguists, dialectologists, arabicists,<br>sociologists, graduate and post-graduate students, for instance, focuses on<br>the secretising of a multitude of words, prepositions, verbs, phrases,<br>clauses and sentences, for instance.<br><br>For descriptive convenience, this study proposes eight chapters and a<br>detailed bibliography. The substitution "?u?", which is the main concern of<br>this book and which involves thirty-two varieties, operates through the<br>mere and single replacement of a consonant of the word by a given consonant<br>of the variety of the family "x". In this family of the secret languages no<br>additional disguise item follows the encoded word. Thus, the word "kla"<br>(eat), for instance, is encoded in one variety of the substitution "?u?" as<br>"sla" and as "wla" in another one. One extremely important aspect of the<br>substitution secret language under study in this work is the crucial effect<br>of the context of use of the language itself on the comprehension of the<br>secret encounters, given the total absence of the disguise element, which<br>would stand as the necessary key for the genuine deciphering of the encoded<br>word. <br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">--------------------------------------------------------------------------</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">End of Arabic-L: 16 Apr 2008</div></div></div></div></body></html>
