This work,<br>which addresses linguistic areas of main concern to graduate and<br>post-graduate students, linguists, phonologists, morphologists,<br>sociolinguists, dialectologists, arabicists and sociologists, focuses on<br>the secretising of a multitude of words, prepositions, verbs, phrases,<br>clauses and sentences, for instance. For descriptive convenience, this<br>study proposes eight chapters and a detailed bibliography. Chapter one is<br>concerned with major previous works related to secret languages worldwide,<br>for instance. Chapter two introduces major sociolinguistic notions of the<br>"?u?". Chapter three investigates the encoding of prefixless words. Chapter<br>four analyses the encoding of prefixed items. Chapter five scrutinizes the<br>secretising of prepositions. Chapter six aims at a description of the<br>encoding of syntactic structures. Chapter seven illustrates the use of the<br>"?u?" in everyday-like conversations. Chapter eight presents a detailed<br>account of the rules governing all the varieties of the x?x?yyuC family<br>with reference to all MA words, phrases, clauses and sentences and a<br>detailed account of the data. In one variety of the x?.x?yyuC "?u?" a<br>consonant of the word is substituted by the consonant of the operating<br>variety (x). Then the new word is followed by the disguise element<br>"x?yyuC", that is another copy of the substituting consonant (x), the<br>disyllabic "?yyu" and the substituted consonant of the word (C). In this<br>respect, the word "kla" (eat), for instance, is encoded in one variety of<br>the x?.x?yyuC "?u?" as "sla s?yyuk".<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 Oct 2008</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
