Description

This comprehensive study examines how speakers of Arabic construct meaning through linguistic choices in everyday speech, revealing the fundamental differences between spoken and literary Arabic. Drawing on empirical research conducted across the Arabic-speaking world, the book demonstrates how context, speaker intentions, and communicative goals shape the structural and pragmatic resources employed in authentic conversation. Rather than relying on prescriptive grammar rules, this analysis is grounded in language as speakers actually use it, providing detailed insights into information structure phenomena that have not been thoroughly documented before. The work fills a significant gap in Arabic linguistics by offering the first in-depth exploration of how information is organised, prioritised, and expressed in natural spoken discourse, making it invaluable for linguists, Arabic language students, and researchers studying discourse and pragmatics.
