Dear Friends,

I am pleased to announce that Lincom Europa has recently published my
book on Arabic Comparative Morphology. It is entitled "Comparative
Morphology of Standard and Egyptian Arabic". Its major concern is the
comparison of the morphological aspects of Standard Arabic (SA) and
Egyptian Arabic (EA). It is divided into five chapters. Chapter One
provides a phonological outline of SA and EA. It also analyses the
morphological basics and the morphosyntactic preliminaries of the two
varieties. Chapter Two is devoted to the morphology of triradical and
quadriradical verbs. In addition, the inflection of verbs for
aspect/mood and voice and a treatment of verbal affixes and verb
derivation are provided.
Chapter Three deals with the morphology of primary and deverbal nouns.
Moreover, the divergence between definite and indefinite nouns and the
inflection of nouns for case, gender and number are explained. The
formation of the diminutive is also illustrated. Chapter Four handles
the morphology of adjectival stems. Then, the difference between
definite and indefinite adjectives and the inflection of adjectives for
case, gender, number and degree are analyzed. Furthermore, participial
forms and relational adjectives are discussed. Chapter Five is related
to the morphology of closed-list classes, including pronouns,
prepositions, adverbs, as well as interrogative and responsive
particles. Finally, negative and possessive particles are exhibited.
