John Benjamins Publishing announces the availability of the following new
work on Arabic:
Perspectives on Arabic Linguistics XII.
Papers from the Twelfth Annual Symposium on Arabic Linguistics,
Urbana-Champaign, Illinois, 1998.
Elabbas BENMAMOUN (ed.)
Current Issues in Linguistic Theory 190
1 55619 967 8 / USD 75.00 (Hardcover)
90 272 3696 8 / NLG 150.00 (Hardcover)
The papers in this volume deal with various topics in Arabic Linguistics.
Most of the papers focus on new issues and introduce new empirical
generalizations that haven't been studied before within the context of
Arabic linguistics. The syntax and morphosyntax papers explore issues
ranging from the nature of extraction strategies to various types of
Construct State representations and the proper analysis of the
distribution of the nominal, adjectival and verbal mophological features.
The computational linguistics papers focus on the challenge posed by the
non-concatenative nature of Arabic morphology. The authors illustrate how
their programs can handle Arabic morphology. The papers in
morpho-phonology and historical linguistics deal with the development of
the Arabic complementizer system and the empirical and theoretical
problems that arise in the context of hypocoristic formation in Arabic.
The sociolinguistics papers take up the issues of sociolinguistic
variation as they pertain to the phenomenon of diglossia and regional uses
of the Standard variety of Arabic.
