This book proposes a new and unified perspective regarding these morphemes, analyzing them as copulae, and the constructions in which they occur as instances of predication. Analyzing morphemes combined with the Arabic noun as copulae explains many of their puzzling properties (rise and loss of declension, proteiform nature of nunation, et cetera). Emphasis is placed on data previously marginalized in the description of these morphemes, from pre-Classical Arabic transmitted by Arab Grammarians, Semitic languages that contributed to the emergence of Arabic through language contact, and roughly 30 languages genetically unrelated to Arabic. 410 0$aStudies in Semitic languages and linguistics ;$v70. 606 $aArabic language$xNoun phrase 606 $aArabic language$xSentences 606 $aArabic language$xNoun 615 0$aArabic language$xNoun phrase. 615 0$aArabic language$xSentences. 615 0$aArabic language$xNoun. 676 $a492.7/555 700 $aGrande$b Francesco$08484 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823913703321 996 $aCopulae in the Arabic noun phrase$93997385 997 $aUNINA
