For the first time in this series, three of the papers represent experimental studies dealing with Arabic syllable and morphological structure. Four are focused on aspects of agreement in Arabic. The remaining three deal with certain problems in Arabic phonology and discourse.Amsterdam studies in the theory and history of linguistic science.Series IV,Current issues in linguistic theory ;v. 130.Arabic languageCongressesElectronic books.Arabic language412Eid Mushira173922MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457268803321Perspectives on Arabic linguistics1929316UNINA
