Ablaut and Ambiguity
Author: Jeffrey Heath
Publisher: SUNY Press
ISBN: 9780887065118
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 382
Book Description
This volume thoroughly analyzes the phonology of a representative dialect of Moroccan Arabic (MA). This dialect is phonologically interesting because of the existence of numerous productive patterns of derivational ablaut, several types of play speech transformation, and various problems in representation of stems and formalization of rules due to the progressive reduction or disappearance of older short vowels. In examing ablaut, Heath formally models all productive derivational patterns using concepts of mapping and projection from input stems onto output stems, and not making use of abstract "root" representations. The formal details of mapping and projection differ significantly from one pattern to another (several use a bidirectional, i.e., periphery-in, strategy), and each pattern has various idiosyncratic accessory rules. Data from ablaut, play speech, and borrowings are also used extensively to discuss syncope vs. epenthesis analyses of short vowel; short u vs. recognition of labialized consonants kwgwqwxwgw; behavior of geminates; syllabification of sonorants in long consonantal strings; hiatus; and, pharyngealization ("emphasis"). The volume combines descriptive thoroughness and formal rigor with a sensitivity toward unsettled areas in the phonology--structural conflicts, pragmatic aspects of stem representation, and gradually evolving restructurings of the system.

Syllables In Tashlhiyt Berber And In Moroccan Arabic
Author: F. Dell
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401002797
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 391
Book Description
This book is intended primarily as an original contribution to the investi gation of the phonology of the two main languages spoken in Morocco. Its central topic is syllable structure. Our theoretical outlook is that of generative phonology. Most of the book deals with Tashlhiyt Berber. This language has a syllable structure with properties which are highly unusual, as seen from the vantage point of better-studied languages on which most theorizing about syllabification is based. On the one hand, complex consonant sequences are a common occurrence in the surface representations. On the other hand, syllable structure is very simple: only one distinctive feature bundle (phoneme) may occur in the onset, the nucleus or the coda. The way these two conflicting demands are reconciled is by allowing vowelless sylla bies . Any consonant may act as a syllable nucleus. When astring is syllabified, nuclear status is preferentially assigned to the segments with a higher degree of sonority than their neighbours. Consider for instance the expression below, which is a complete sentence meaning 'remove it (m) and eat it (m)': /kks=t t-ss-t=t/ [k. st. s . t:"] . k. k~t. t. s. . slt. The sentence must be pronounced voiceless throughout, as indicated by the IPA transcription between square brackets ; the syllabic parse given after the IPA transcription indicates that the sentence comprises four syllables (syllable nuclei are underlined). The differences between the dialects of Berber have to do primarily with the phonology and the lexicon.

The Phonology and Morphology of Arabic
Author: Janet C. E. Watson
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN: 0199257590
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
This is an account of the phonology and morphology of modern spoken Arabic, the first to be published in any language and based largely on the author's research. Dr. Watson's approach is theoretically innovative and aware, but accessible to Arabic language specialists outside linguistics. Broad in coverage, this is an important and pioneering book.

Perspectives on Arabic Linguistics
Author: Elabbas Benmamoun
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 9027275653
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 238
Book Description
The papers in this volume address core areas in contemporary Arabic linguistics: syntax, phonology, and variation studies. The papers in the syntax sections address different topics from the perspective of the Minimalist Program (Chomsky 1995) and subsequent work. The topics in this section are adverbs and adjectives, resumptive pronouns, gapping and VP deletion, and the morphosyntax of reciprocals. The phonology section consists of a contribution on coarticulation effects of uvular(ized) segments, and of a paper on pharyngealization and uvularization within the framework of Optimality Theory. The sociolinguistics papers in the third section of the volume represent three important lines of inquiry: discourse level variation, stylistic variation, and diachronic variation.

Lexical Phonology and Morphology of Modern Standard Arabic
Author: Mohamed Abdulmajid Akidah
Publisher: LAP Lambert Academic Publishing
ISBN: 9783659429491
Category : Grammar, Comparative and general
Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
This book is a comprehensive description of the phonology and morphology of Modern Standard Arabic (MSA). The description is done within the framework of the Lexical Phonology (LP) theory and aims at accounting for, in detail, the nature of the relationship between the phonology and morphology of the MSA with a view to determine the role morphological and phonological rules play in the word formation processes and organization of the MSA lexicon. Arabic, variously known as the language of the Quran and the 'd̪ˁaad' language, has several dialects which are spoken as mother tongue in all the Arabic speaking countries. However, MSA is the standard variety, understood and spoken by people who have studied it in formal settings and is therefore regarded as the lingua franca used by educated native and non-native speakers of Arabic throughout the world. The book introduces aspects of the sound system of MSA and goes on to discuss the level-ordered morphological system of MSA words. In addition, it provides a well researched account of the various consonantal and vowel phonological processes at both the lexical and post-lexical levels putting them into the Lexical Phonology perspective.
