The papers in this volume address core areas in contemporary Arabic
linguistics: syntax, phonology, and variation studies. The papers in
the syntax sections address different topics from the perspective of
the Minimalist Program (Chomsky 1995) and subsequent work. The topics
in this section are adverbs and adjectives, resumptive pronouns,
gapping and VP deletion, and the morphosyntax of reciprocals. The
phonology section consists of a contribution on coarticulation effects
of uvular(ized) segments, and of a paper on pharyngealization and
uvularization within the framework of Optimality Theory. The
sociolinguistics papers in the third section of the volume represent
three important lines of inquiry: discourse level variation, stylistic
variation, and diachronic variation.  Contents: Layers in the
Distribution of Arabic Adverbs and Adjectives and Their Licensing:
Abdelkader Fassi Fehri; The Unoptionality of Resumptive Pronouns: The
