Despite the amount of material about Arabic grammar, phonology, and
morphology, the need for a book combining an independent study in
morphology with theoretical discussions is more than evident. This
book fills that void by proposing an in-depth analysis of various
morphological issues based on the seven classes of verbs and their
nine derivatives. These classical classes are the strong verb, the
doubled, the hamzated, the verb with 1st radical w or y, the verb
with 2nd radical w or y, the verb with 3rd radical w or y, and the
verb that is doubly weak. The nine derivatives are the perfect,
imperfect, imperative, infinitive noun, active participle, passive
participle, noun of time, noun of place and noun of instrument. The
different sections introduce several paradigms of verbs, a
carefully explored data and explicit information about the
morphological structures and the various phonological changes that
can affect them, such as the addition, transfer or elision of a
vowel or letter, the assimilation of two letters and the
substitution of one letter for another. The study pays also
particular attention to the most representative works from the 8th
century until our days.Author's Biography: Joyce Akesson has
