The Phonological Changes Due to the Hamza and Weak Consonant in Arabic (Paperback)

Product DescriptionThis work offers a comprehensive overview of the phonological changes due to the hamza and to the weak consonant. For this purpose it focuses specifically on the complexities of many words pertaining to the classes of the hamzated and weak verbs. In many of these cases, the hamza or weak consonant can be alleviated or retained. Other phonological particularities can also affect the words' structures. The extensive data, the techniques of the phonological analysis and the references to the different works from the 8th century until our days, offer a thorough and accessible study of both these linguistic phenomena for both the students and researchers of Arabic.About the AuthorJoyce Akesson has studied the Semitic languages at Lund's University, Sweden, and has previously been a lecturer there during many years.
