Part I addresses morpho-syntactic and semantic interfaces in temporality, aspectuality, and actionality, including the Past/Perfect/Perfective ambiguity akin to the very synthetic temporal morphology, collocating time adverb construal, and interpretability of verbal Number as pluractional. Part II is dedicated to nominal architecture, the behaviour of bare nouns as true indefinites, the count/mass dichotomy (re-examined in light 410 0$aLinguistik aktuell ;$vBd. 182. 606 $aArabic language$xGrammar 615 0$aArabic language$xGrammar. 676 $a492.7/5 700 $aFassi Fehri$b Abdelkader$0183614 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807743803321 996 $aKey features and parameters in Arabic grammar$94120026 997 $aUNINA
