Studies in the Linguistic Structure of Classical Arabic. Studies in Semitic Languages and Linguistics, Volume XXXI

by Naphtali Kinberg, Leah Kinberg (Editor), Kees Versteegh (Editor)

The articles in this volume combine modern linguistic insights with the theories of Arab grammarians. The result is a series of studies on such aspects of the structure of Arabic as conditional sentences, adverbial clauses, and the particles "laqin" and "qad."; This volume also contains the edition and translation of a treatise on the pronunciation of the "dad" by the Grammarian Ali al-Nansuri, which discusses the phonetic status of the sound that was regarded by the Arabs themselves as the most characteristic sound of their language.
