Description: The Phonology and Morphology of Arabic by Janet C.E. Watson Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New 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 authors research. Dr Watsons approach is theoretically innovative and aware, but accessible to Arabic language specialists outside linguistics. Broad in coverage, this is an important and pioneering book. Publisher Description This book is the first comprehensive account of the phonology and morphology of Arabic. It is a pioneering work of scholarship based on the authors research in the region. Arabic is a Semitic language spoken by some 250 million people in an area stretching from Morocco in the West to parts of Iran in the East. Apart from its great intrinsic interest, the importance of the language for phonological and morphological theory lies, as the authorshows, in its rich root-and-pattern morphology and its large set of guttural consonants. Dr Watson focuses on two eastern dialects, Cairene and Sanani. Cairene is typical of an advanced urbanMediterranean dialect and has a cultural importance throughout the Arab world; it is also the variety learned by most foreign speakers of Arabic. Sanani, spoken in Yemen, is representative of a conservative peninsula dialect. In addition the book makes extensive reference to other dialects as well as to classical and Modern Standard Arabic.The volume opens with an overview of the history and varieties of Arabic, and the position of Arabic within Semitic. Dialectaldifferences and similarities are discussed in successive chapters which cover the phoneme system and the representation of phonological features; the syllable and syllabification; word stress; derivationalmorphology; inflectional morphology; lexical phonology; and post-lexical phonology. The Phonology and Morphology of Arabic will be of great interest to Arabists and comparative Semiticists, as well as to phonologists, morphologists, and linguists more generally. Author Biography Janet C. E. Watson has held lectureships in Arabic at the universities of Edinburgh, Durham, and Salford, and has also taught at the University of Manchester. She travels regularly to the Middle East and has spent extended periods of time in Yemen and Egypt. A fluent speaker of Yemeni Arabic, her recent research work has concentrated on the phonology of Arabic. Her previous publications include A Syntax of Sanani Arabic (1993), Sbahtu! A Course inSanani Arabic (1996), and Wasf Sana: Texts in Sanani Arabic (2000). Details ISBN 0199226695 ISBN-13 9780199226696 Title The Phonology and Morphology of Arabic Author Janet C.E.
