On the one hand, different specific linguistic aspects related to phonetics and phonology as well as to morphology, syntax and lexicology are discussed in this volume; e.g. the Arabic loanwords in Somali with regard to the strata in South Arabian, the structural features of Logorì Arabic and its use as Lingua Franca or native language, the contact-induced innovation processes in North African Arabic negation by analogy with Berber negation. On the other hand, the African Arabic theme is approached from a more general perspective analysing the contact effects on linguistic features and systems from a broader comparative, typological and universal viewpoint, e.g. a general typology of Arabic in Africa, the question of possible universal features of pidginization and creolization drawn on evidence from Arabic-based pidgins and creoles. Its outcomes offer important insights for all linguistic studies and approaches, and directly connect with other research fields such as sociolinguistics, ethnolinguistics and language acquisition.Trends in linguistics.Studies and monographs ;258.Arabic languageDialectsAfrica, NorthArabic languageAfrica, NorthArabic languageDialectologyLanguages in contactAfrica, NorthElectronic books.Arabic languageDialectsArabic languageArabic languageDialectology.Languages in contact492.7/7Lafkioui Mena675002MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464305703321African Arabic2462841UNINA04742nam 2200817 a 450 99632019760331620230725032249.01-283-26808-697866132680820-8330-5247-0(CKB)2670000000114027(EBL)768125(OCoLC)749265003(SSID)ssj0000537122(PQKBManifestationID)11324359(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000537122(PQKBWorkID)10553839(PQKB)10420648(Au-PeEL)EBL768125(CaPaEBR)ebr10497680(MiAaPQ)EBC768125(EXLCZ)99267000000011402720110524d2011 uh 0engurcn|||||||||txtccrGlobal demographic change and its implications for military power /Martin C.

This monograph analyzes this issue by projecting working-age populations through 2050; assessing the influence of demographics on manpower, national income and expenditures, and human capital; and examining how changes in these factors may affect the ability of states to carry out military missions.Rand Corporation monograph series.Armed ForcesMobilizationForecastingBalance of powerForecastingMilitary policyForecastingDemographic transitionManpower policyUnited StatesPopulation agingEconomic aspectsSecurity, InternationalEconomic aspectsWarForecastingUnited StatesMilitary policyForecastingUnited StatesPopulationForecastingArmed ForcesMobilizationForecasting.Balance of powerForecasting.Military policyForecasting.Demographic transition.Manpower policyPopulation agingEconomic aspects.Security, InternationalEconomic aspects.WarForecasting.355/.033073Libicki Martin C877014Shatz Howard J935274Taylor Julie E.1968-935275Project Air Force (U.S.)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996320197603316Global demographic change and its implications for military power2106447UNISA
