Description

This volume presents papers on the study of Arabic dialects and their implications for general linguistics, as well as papers of a more general nature. Because Arabic dialects are similar in many ways, a study of their differences can help isolate the range of permissible interlinguistic varation (ie the "parameters" of universal grammar). A number of papers in Section I focus on the contribution of dialect studies to a theory of cross-dialectal and cross-linguistic variation; others deal with individual dialects, thus providing data and analyses that can further contribute to our understanding of this type of variation. The papers in Sections II and III of the book are selected from the general session of the sympoisum and address sociolinguistic and historical aspects of Arabic.
