Structure and Function of the Arabic Verb is a corpus-based study
that unveils the morpho-syntax and the semantics of the Arabic
verb. Approaches to verbal grammatical categories - the
constituents of verbal systems - often rely on either
semantic-pragmatic or syntactic analyses. This research bridges the
gap between these two distinct approaches through a detailed
analysis of Taxis, Aspect, Tense and Modality in Standard Arabic.
This is accomplished by showing, firstly, some basic theoretical
concerns shared by both schools of thought, and, secondly, the
extent to which semantic structures and invariant meanings mirror
syntactic representations. Maher Bahloul's findings also indicate
that the basic constituents of the verbal system in Arabic, namely
the Perfect and the Imperfect, are systematically differentiated
through their invariant semantic features in a markedness relation.
Finally, this study suggests that the syntactic derivation of
verbal and nominal clauses are sensitive to whether or not verbal
categories are specified for their feature values, providing
therefore a principled explanation to a long-standing debate. This
reader friendly book will appeal to both specialists and students
of Arabic linguistics, language and syntax.
