About the book

"This book is the first comparative study of the snytax of Arabic dialects, based on natural language data recorded in Morocco, Egypt, Syria, and Kuwait. These four dialect regions are geographically diverse and representative of four distinct groups.". "Kristen E. Brustad has adopted an analytical approach that is both functional and descriptive, combining insights from discourse analysis, language typology, and pragmatics - the first time such an approach has been used in the study of spoken Arabic syntax. An appendix includes sample texts from her data."--BOOK JACKET.
