Abstract:

This is the first monograph-length volume entirely devoted to the theoretical and 
empirical issues raised by the definition of 'word' and related concepts in Arabic, 
both at the historical and synchronic level. Some of the best-known scholars in 
the field of Arabic linguistics debate such issues as the technical definition of 
words and morphemes in the Arabic grammatical and rhetorical traditions, the 
theoretical status of the root and its interactions with morphology, the analysis 
of word in the computer treatment of Arabic texts, some relevant phenomena in 
the contact of Arabic with other languages. The result is a fresh portrait of some 
of the most interesting research currently under way in Arabic linguistics from 
different theoretical and methodological viewpoints.
