Dear Arabic list subscribers.
I am currently working on research on adverbialisers (Subordinating morphemes
that mark clauses for time, location and manner) in Tunisian in order to
conduct
a comparitive study with the closed class in Maltese.
Examples of adverbialisers in Tunisian are as follows :
Time : waqtaash (when); tawwa (now); qbel (before); bikri (early) etc.
Location : wiin (where); femma (there is); ghadi (over there); lfouq (up
there);
louta (down there/downstairs) etc.
Manner : hakka (thus); yaser (too much) ; barsha (a lot) etc..
Any works or references on adverbials/adverbs in other
Arabic dialects/fusha which you could recommend would be appreciated.
Thanks for your attention and assistance.
