Ahmad Alqassas

A Multi-Locus Analysis of Arabic Negation

Micro-Variation in Southern Levantine, Gulf and Standard Arabic

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

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.
