Book Synopsis Multi-locus Analysis of Arabic Negation by : Ahmad Alqassas
Download or read book Multi-locus Analysis of Arabic Negation written by Ahmad Alqassas and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2018-12-21 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book studies the micro-variation in the syntax of negation of Southern Levantine, Gulf and Standard Arabic. By including new and recently published data that support key issues for the syntax of negation, the book challenges the standard parametric view that negation has a fixed parametrized position in syntactic structure. It particularly argues for a multi-locus analysis with syntactic, semantic, morphosyntactic and diachronic implications for the various structural positions. Thus accounting for numerous word order restrictions, semantic ambiguities and pragmatic interpretations without complicating narrow syntax with special operations, configurations or constraints.

Book Synopsis A Unified Theory of Polarity Sensitivity by : Ahmad Alqassas
Download or read book A Unified Theory of Polarity Sensitivity written by Ahmad Alqassas and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book examines polarity sensitivity - a ubiquitous phenomenon involving expressions such as anybody, nobody, ever, never, somebody and their counterparts in other languages with particular focus on Arabic. These expressions belong to different classes such as negative and positive polarity, negative concord, and negative indefinites, which led to examining their syntax and semantics separately. In this book, Ahmad Alqassas pursues unified approach that relies on examining the interaction between the various types of polarity sensitivity. Treating this interaction is fundamental for scrutinizing their licensing conditions. Alqassas draws on data from Standard Arabic and the major regional dialects represented by Jordanian, Egyptian, Moroccan, and Qatari. The book provides a new perspective on the syntax-semantic interface and develops a unified syntactic analysis for polarity sensitivity. Through the (micro)comparative approach, Alqassas explains the distributional contrasts with a minimal set of universal syntactic operations such as Merge, Move and Agree; and fine-grained inventory of negative formal features for polarity items and their licensors. The features are simple invisibles that paint a complex landscape of polarity. The results suggest that syntactic computation of Arabic polarity (externally merged in left periphery) is subservient to the conceptual-intentional interface. Alqassas argues for last resort insertion of covert negation operators in the CP layer to interpret non-strict NCIs, which is an extra mechanism that serves the semantic interface, but adds to the complexity of syntactic computation. Likewise, head NPIs in the left periphery require licensing by operators higher than the tense phrase, adding more constraints on the syntactic licensing"--

Book excerpt: Polarity sensitivity is a ubiquitous phenomenon involving expressions such as anybody, nobody, ever, never, somebody and their counterparts in other languages. These expressions belong to different classes such as negative and positive polarity, negative concord, and negative indefinites. In this book, Ahmad Alqassas proposes a unified approach to the study of this phenomenon that relies on examining the interaction between the various types of polarity sensitivity, with a particular focus on Arabic. Alqassas shows that treating this interaction is fundamental for scrutinizing their licensing conditions. Alqassas draws on data from Standard Arabic and the major regional dialects represented by Jordanian, Egyptian, Moroccan, and Qatari. Through the (micro)comparative approach, Alqassas explains the distributional contrasts with a minimal set of universal syntactic operations such as Merge, Move, and Agree. He also considers a fine-grained inventory of negative formal features for polarity items and their licensors. These simple features paint a complex landscape of polarity and lead to important conclusions about syntactic computation. By engaging with the rich but under-studied landscape of Arabic polarity sensitivity, this book provides a new perspective on the syntax-semantic interface and develops a unified syntactic analysis for polarity sensitivity. These contributions have important implications for the study of Arabic and for syntactic theory more generally.
Book Synopsis Perspectives on Arabic Linguistics XXXIII by : Abdel-Khalig Ali
Download or read book Perspectives on Arabic Linguistics XXXIII written by Abdel-Khalig Ali and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2022-12-15 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume features eight peer-reviewed chapters based on papers presented at the 33rd Annual Symposium on Arabic Linguistics, held at the University of Toronto in 2019. The chapters are divided into four sections: sociolinguistics, phonetics and phonology, syntax, and first language acquisition. They present research on relatively well-studied Arabic varieties such as the Moroccan, Jordanian, and Emirati varieties as well as understudied varieties such as the Palestinian dialects of Gaza and Jaffa, and the Saudi dialects of Al-Ahsa, Ha’il, and Faifi. The chapters address linguistic phenomena that range from language variation and change, the phonemic status and feature composition of rhotics, and the realization patterns of emphatic fricatives to the grammaticalization of aspectual markers, the syntactic and pragmatic aspects of post-wh-questions, and the acquisition trajectory of the definite article. The volume makes valuable descriptive and theoretical contributions to Arabic linguistics.

Book Synopsis The Feature Structure of Functional Categories by : Elabbas Benmamoun
Download or read book The Feature Structure of Functional Categories written by Elabbas Benmamoun and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2000 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the relation between functional categories and lexical and phrasal categories in Arabic dialects, Benmamoun proposes that universally functional categories are specified for categorial features which determine their relation with lexical categories. Language variation is attributed to differences with respect to the categorial feature specifications of functional categories and how they interact with lexical categories. The book brings new insights to issues related to the syntax of functional categories, the relation between syntax and the morpho-phonological component, and comparative syntax.

Book Synopsis Interactions of Negation with Other Categories in Varieties of Arabic by : Mahmood Hamad Samari Al Fkaiki
Download or read book Interactions of Negation with Other Categories in Varieties of Arabic written by Mahmood Hamad Samari Al Fkaiki and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation describes and analyzes interaction of negation with aspect, tense, quantifiers, and sensitive polarities in standard Arabic and modern Arabic dialects. The reasons behind this study are (i) to provide comprehensive description of negation, (ii) to understand negation better, (iii) to investigate theoretical applications, (iv) to provide a critical review of Arabic grammarians’ approaches to negation, and (v) to connect complex and systematic interactions of negation with other operators to their truth conditions to explain discourse referent. I account for negation in different ways: syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic in order to arrive at an airtight diagnosis. Negation interacts with every category to produce syntactic and semantic representations different from affirmatives. This dissertation not only deals with morphosyntactic negation with other categories, but also explores different interaction between inherent negation, represented through a semantic meaning of negation without negative particles, with these categories. Interaction of negation with aspect, tense, quantifiers, sensitive polarities indicates that there are syntactic and semantic effects of negation with these elements. The framework of this dissertation defenses on multiple approaches which descend from syntax and semantics. This dissertation explores the interaction of negation with other categories in varieties of Arabic where this study shows that a system of negation in standard Arabic is different from modern Arabic dialects. A change of negation system in Arabic is important to help us to assign precise descriptions for these interactions

Book Synopsis Substance-free Framework for Phonology by : Pavel Iosad
Download or read book Substance-free Framework for Phonology written by Pavel Iosad and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2017-02-22 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the relationship between phonetics and phonology? Are phonological features innate and universal, and do they have fixed phonetic correlates? These questions have received renewed prominence in theoretical debates, and this book explores them from a modular, substance-free perspective. This in-depth analysis of Breton serves not only to introduce important data from this endangered language into the theoretical landscape but also to demonstrate the viability of a modular phonological framework. The book introduces a minimalist system of phonological representations built up on a language-specific basis, and integrates it with a fully-fledged computational framework, showcasing the numerous empirical and conceptual advantages of a substance-free view of phonology. Presenting the first comprehensive analysis of the sound patterns of a Breton variety treated in a substance-free phonological framework, this book will enhance the understanding of Celtic phonology and offers a valuable reference for postgraduate students, academics and researchers working in phonological theory and Celtic studies.
