Description:

This volume brings together eight papers presented by a panel on Arabic linguistics at the 14th Italian Meeting of Afroasiatic Linguistics in 2011. They address multiple aspects of classical and colloquial Arabic: phonology, morphology, syntax, lexicology and lexicography, but also semantics and pragmatics, as well as logic and argumentation.

Synopsis:

This volume brings together the eight papers presented by a panel on Arabic linguistics organized on the occasion of the 14th Italian Meeting of Afroasiatic Linguistics held in Turin in 2011. They address multiple aspects of classical and colloquial Arabic: phonology, morphology, syntax, lexicology and lexicography, but also semantics and pragmatics, as well as logic and argumentation. The title chosen by the editor, Manuela E.B. Giolfo, recalls that Arabic was the object of a rich indigenous tradition of linguistic analysis long before becoming, from the nineteenth century onwards, an object of modern Western linguistics. One of the book's ambitions is to show that 'Arab linguistics' and 'Arabic linguistics' should not be strangers to each other, but rather complementary.
