Abstract

"This book is the product of over a decade of experience teaching an introductory course on Arabic linguistics. It is primarily intended as a textbook. Focusing mainly on Modern Standard Arabic and Levantine Arabic, the purpose of this textbook is to help students understand how Arabic works by explaining the key elements of the language and by equipping students with the linguistic tools needed to analyze these elements. In addition to an introduction and a conclusion, the book is made of three parts. Part One focuses on Arabic sounds and sound systems, referred to in linguistics as phonetics and phonology. Part Two deals with Arabic words and word structure, or morphology. Part Three focuses on Arabic phrases and phrase structure, also known as syntax. Each part is divided into four chapters. The first chapter introduces the linguistic subfield and explains the tools needed for the discussion and analysis of the Arabic linguistic details presented in the following three chapters"--
