Product description

The book "The Phonological Changes due to the Hamza and the Weak Consonant in Arabic"  offers a comprehensive overview 
of the phonological changes due to the hamza and to the weak consonant. For this purpose it focuses specifically on the complexities 
of many words pertaining to the classes of the hamzated and weak verbs. In many of these cases, the hamza or weak consonant can be 
alleviated or retained. Other phonological particularities can also affect the words' structures. Theextensive data, the techniques of the 
phonological analysis and the references to the different works from the 8th century until our days, offer a thorough and accessible study 
of both these linguistic phenomena for both the students and researchers of Arabic.






Review

D. Lynn's

"The Phonological Changes due to the Hamza and Weak Consonant in Arabic" studies two important phonological changes that 
can affect the word in Classical Arabic. One of them concerns the words with a hamza in their structures and the other one the 
words with a weak letter. The words with a hamza pertain to the class of the hamzated verbs and the words with a weak letter pertain 
to the class of the weak verbs. These classes of verbs are considered as irregular by comparison to the strong verbs, and as such their 
words are affected by specific phonological changes.
The book is very well organized with its table of contents and numbered paragraphs and the data sheds light on many issues in the field
of morphology.
I can highly recommend it.
