Part I addresses morpho-syntactic and semantic interfaces in temporality, aspectuality, and actionality, including the Past/Perfect/Perfective ambiguity akin to the very synthetic temporal morphology, collocating time adverb construal, and interpretability of verbal Number as pluractional. Part II is dedicated to nominal architecture, the behaviour of bare nouns as true indefinites, the count /mass dichotomy (re-examined in light. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Arabic language|xGrammar.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh86000279 650 7 Arabic language|xGrammar.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/812341 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aFassi Fehri, Abdelkader.|tKey features and parameters in Arabic grammar.|dAmsterdam ; Philadelphia : J.
