The Routledge Handbook of Arabic Linguistics introduces readers to
the major facets of research on Arabic and of the linguistic
situation in the Arabic-speaking world. The edited collection
includes chapters from prominent experts on various fields of
Arabic linguistics. The contributors provide overviews of the state
of the art in their field and specifically focus on ideas and
issues. Not simply an overview of the field, this handbook explores
subjects in great depth and from multiple perspectives. In addition
to the traditional areas of Arabic linguistics, the handbook covers
computational approaches to Arabic, Arabic in the diaspora,
neurolinguistic approaches to Arabic, and Arabic as a global
language. The Routledge Handbook of Arabic Linguistics is a
much-needed resource for researchers on Arabic and comparative
linguistics, syntax, morphology, computational linguistics,
psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, and applied linguistics, and
also for undergraduate and graduate students studying Arabic or
linguistics.

Recent research on the syntax of Arabic has produced valuable
literature on the major syntactic phenomena found in the language.
This guide to Arabic syntax provides an overview of the major
syntactic constructions in Arabic that have featured in recent
linguistic debates, and discusses the analyses provided for them in
the literature. A broad variety of topics are covered, including
argument structure, negation, tense, agreement phenomena, and
resumption. The discussion of each topic sums up the key research
results and provides new points of departure for further research.
The book also contrasts Standard Arabic with other Arabic varieties
spoken in the Arab world. An engaging guide to Arabic syntax, this
book will be invaluable to graduate students interested in Arabic
grammar, as well as syntactic theorists and typologists.

Focusing on the relation between functional categories and lexical
and phrasal categories in Arabic dialects, Benmamoun proposes that
universally functional categories are specified for categorial
features which determine their relation with lexical categories.
Language variation is attributed to differences with respect to the
categorial feature specifications of functional categories and how
they interact with lexical categories. The book brings new insights
to issues related to the syntax of functional categories, the
relation between syntax and the morpho-phonological component, and
comparative syntax.

This volume contains essays on ellipsis -- the omission of understood words or grammatical items from a sentence -- and the closely related syntactic phenomena of conjunction and gapping. Ellipsis poses interesting challenges for linguists because speakers are expressing something that is not present in their words. This volume not only addresses the three perspectives resulting from recent research -- Chomsky's syntactic Government and Binding approach, the semantic theories, and the processing accounts -- but it also examines the cross-linguistic aspects of ellipsis by comparing the possibilities for a given type of elided structure in Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew, and in English. This volume will be of interest to both semanticists and syntacticians.
