Thematic Structure and Para-Syntax: Arabic as a Case Study presents
a structural analysis of Arabic, providing an alternative to the
traditional notions of theme and rheme. Taking Arabic as a case
study, this book claims that approaches to thematic structure
propounded in universalist linguistic theories, of which Hallidayan
systemic functional linguistics is taken as an illustrative
example, are profoundly wrong. It argues that in order to produce
an analysis of thematic structure and similar phenomena which is
not undermined by its own theoretical presuppositions, it is
necessary to remove such notions from the domain of linguistic and
semiotic theory. The book initially focuses on Sudanese Arabic,
because this allows for a beautifully clear exposition of general
principles, before applying these principles to Modern Standard
Arabic, and some other Arabic varieties. This book will be of
interest to scholars in Arabic linguistics, linguistic theory, and
information structure.
