Deep linguistic processing is a research-intensive area with
several potential applications. Amidst the vast literature on
formal linguistic theory, Head- driven Phrase Structure Grammar
(HPSG) has a unique position, since it combines the best features
of the contemporary approaches as well as establishes an integrated
framework for cross-layer representation of linguistic objects.
There is very few HPSG analysis of Arabic morphological, syntactic
and semantic features. Arabic is the best instance of
nonconcatenative morphology among the living languages. Arabic verb
system shows a rich morphology, capable of lexically expressing
diverse syntactic and semantic phenomena. Formalisms of existing
morphological analyzers for Arabic cannot capture this higher layer
diversity due to a lack of mathematical rigor and expressiveness.
In this book, we discuss the HPSG framework to support rich
nonconcatenative morphology of Arabic verbs. We present HPSG
analysis of the agency of Arabic passives and reflexives as well as
morphologically complex predication of causatives in accordance
with the existing analysis in other languages.
