Abstract:
In Tense and Text in Classical Arabic, Michal Marmorstein presents a new
discourse-oriented analysis of the indicative tense system in Classical
Arabic. Critical of commonly held assumptions regarding the binary structure
of the tense system and the perfect-imperfect asymmetry, the author redefines
the discussion by analysing the extended syntactic and textual environments in
which the paradigm of the indicative forms is used.The study shows that the
function of Classical Arabic tenses is determined by the interaction of their
inherent grammatical meaning and the overall dialogic, narrative, or generic
contexts in which they occur. It also demonstrates the particularizing effect
of context, so that temporal and aspectual meanings are always more nuanced,
delicate, and pragmatically motivated in actual discourse.
