Product DescriptionPhonology is the study of the changes that can
affect a word, and sometimes even two words, for different reasons
relating to a certain implied heaviness, like the existence of two
identical letters or two letters that are close to each other or a
hamza or a weak letter. The phonological changes are recognized as
the assimilation of a letter to another, the substitution of a
letter for another, the addition or elision of a letter or vowel
and the transfer of a letter or vowel to another position. This
study explores in detail when these changes are necessary, allowed
or forbidden. The presentation of the rich data, the theoretical
analyzes of the phonological elements and the references to the
different works from the classical period of the 8th century until
our days, offer a detailed and accessible study for both the
students and researchers of Arabic.About the AuthorJoyce Akesson
