This book is the first comprehensive account of the phonology and morphology of        Arabic. It is a pioneering work of scholarship based on the author's research in the        region.Arabic is a Semitic language spoken by some 250 million people in an area        stretching from Morocco in the West to parts of Iran in the East. Apart from its        great intrinsic interest, the importance of the language for phonological and        morphological theory lies, as the author shows, in its rich root-and-pattern        morphology and its large set of guttural consonants. Dr Watson focuses on two        eastern dialects, Cairene and San'ani. Cairene is typical of an advanced urban        Mediterranean dialect and has acultural importance throughout the Arab world; it is        also the variety learned by most foreign speakers of Arabic. San'ani, spoken in        Yemen, is representative of a conservative peninsula dialect. In addition the book        makes extensive reference to other dialects as well as to classical and        ModernStandard Arabic.The volume opens with an overview of the history and varieties        of Arabic, and the position of Arabic within Semitic. Dialectal differences and        similarities are discussed in successive chapters which cover the phoneme system and        the representation of phonological features; the syllable and syllabification; word        stress; derivational morphology; inflectional morphology; lexical phonology; and        post-lexical phonology. The Phonology and Morphology of Arabic will be of great        interest toArabists and comparative Semiticists, as well as to phonologists,        morphologists, and linguists more generally.
