ARAB 4001 - Introduction to Arabic Linguistics


Credit Hours: 3

This course will focus on the study of Arabic as a language system in terms of modern linguistic analysis. Students will study the language’s sound system (phonology), word structure (morphology, particularly roots and patterns), phrase and sentence structure (syntax), and meaning at the word and sentential level (semantics). The history of Arabic and the issue of diglossia in Arabic-speaking countries will be discussed. The linguistic features of both Standard Arabic and the modern Arabic dialects of today will also be covered.
