Tri-literal Perfect Verb Endings in Classical Arabic Phonetic & Morpho-syntactic Considerations

Abstract

This paper has a two-fold aim: first, it tries to set up and examine the markings suffixed to the Tri-literal Perfect Verb (hence TPV) form in classical Arabic (hence CL). Secondly, it attempts to explore the phonetic environments determining these markings, and their morphological implications as subject-verb agreement markings.
