This book deals with the relation between the feature content of
segments and the prosodic structure headed by those segments. It also
presents several important contributions to the framework of

The present book will be the first to center on the status of Arabic as
a minority language. In the first instance it will focus attention on
the existence of many varieties of Arabic outside of the Arabic world.
It will further contribute to the growing literature on minority
languages, placing a special emphasis on the relationship between
minority status and language form.

The Tibetan language comprises a wide range of spoken and written
varieties whose known history dates from the 7th century AD to the
present day. Its speakers inhabit a vast area in Central Asia and the
Himalayas extending into seven modern nation states, while its
abundant literature includes much of vital importance to the study of
Buddhism. After surveying all the known varieties of Tibetan,
including their geographical and historical background, this book
concentrates on a phonological and grammatical description of the
modern spoken Lhasa dialect, the standard spoken variety. The
grammatical framework which has been specially devised to describe
this variety is then applied to the written varieties of Preclassical
and Classical Tibetan, demonstrating the fundamental unity of the
language. The writing system is outlined, though all examples and
texts are given in roman script and where appropriate, the
International Phonetic Alphabet. There is a comprehensive
bibliography.
