The prepublication version of  Ramzi Baalbaki, "Ilhaq as a
Morphological Tool in Arabic Grammar" (Adobe Acrobat 5.0 PDF file, 211
kB, vol. 4 (2001-2), pp. 1-26) has been posted (abstract below). The
HTML version is to be posted later. The first page and every other page
thereafter contains a faint gray prepublication watermark (when printed
on a laser printer). If you have problems with the watermark, please
let me know.

By the way, we have repaired the faulty links to the HTML files in the
Contents file for Vol. 2.

Abstract: The Arab grammarians differentiate between the ziyada
(augment) that introduces an element of meaning and the ziyada that
appends (yulhiq) one morphological form to another. Having realized the
potential of the concept of ilhaq (appending) as an analytical tool in
morphology, the grammarians divided appended words into several types
according to the number of the radicals in their roots and the type of
ziyada that is involved, and tried to justify forms and patterns with
reference to a set of detailed rules which they elaborately describe.
This paper deals with the issues the grammarians tackle in their study
of ilhaq, such as its purpose, the possibility of analogically
extending its examples, and the inapplicability of idgham (gemination)
to its patterns. It also examines how the grammarians use ilhaq to
reduce considerably the number of morphological patterns that form a
closed system, to explain away anomalous and rare patterns, and thus to
limit deviation from the norm (qiyas) and to test the validity of a
host of morphological issues.
