Book Description
This is an account of the phonology and morphology of modern spoken Arabic, the first to be published in any language and based largely on the author's research. Dr Watson's approach is theoretically innovative and aware, but accessible to Arabic language specialists outside linguistics. Broad in coverage, this is an important and pioneering book.




Phonology and Morphology of Arabic

SYNOPSIS

In this detailed account of the phonology and morphology of Arabic, Watson (researcher and, at various times, lecturer in Arabic at the universities of Edinburgh, Salford, Durham, and Manchester, UK) focuses on two eastern dialects, Cairene and San'ani, with reference to other dialects and Classical and Modern Standard Arabic. An overview of the history and varieties of Arabic and the position of Arabic within Semitic is followed by discussion of dialectical differences and similarities in various chapters covering the phoneme system and representation of phonological features; the syllable and syllabification; word stress; derivational morphology; inflectional morphology; lexical phonology; and post-lexical phonology.
