Description
The volume brings together thoughtful essays covering diverse aspects of Arabic linguistics. It is both theoretically and empirically enriching. It deals with topics that range from phonation and feature economy in Arabic sound systems to negative polarity items and raising structures. Empirically, it includes data from relatively familiar dialects, such as Standard and Moroccan Arabic, as well as less familiar and less studied varieties, such as Sason Arabic and the Arabic of Gaza and Iksal. The volume is a valuable contribution to existing literature on Arabic Linguistics.
