Product DescriptionDespite 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.About the AuthorJoyce Akesson
