Abstract:
This book is an investigation of Arabic derivational morphology that focuses
on the relationship between verb meaning and linguistic form. Beginning with
the ground form, the book offers a comprehensive analysis of the most common
verb patterns of Arabic from a lexical semantic perspective. Peter Glanville
explains why verbs with seemingly unrelated meanings share the same
phonological shape, and analyses sets of words that contain the same
consonantal root to arrive at a common abstraction. He uses both contemporary
and historical data to explore the semantics of reflexivity, symmetry,
causation, and repetition, and argues that the verb patterns of Arabic that
express these phenomena have come about as the result of grammaticalization
and analogical processes that are common cross-linguistically. The book adopts
an approach to morphology in which rule-based derivation has created word
patterns and consonantal roots, with the result that in some derivations roots
may be extracted from a source word and plugged in to a pattern. It
illustrates the semantic relationship between a source word and its
derivative, while also offering evidence to support the view of the
consonantal root as a morphological object. The volume will be a valuable
resource for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of Arabic language
and linguistics who are interested in understanding the verb patterns of
Arabic, the derivational relationships between words, and the construction of
meaning in the mind. It will also appeal to researchers and students in
morphology, semantics, historical linguistics, and cognitive linguistics.
