Contrastive Syntax: English,
Moroccan Arabic and Berber Complex Sentences |
|
|
|
This
book aims at contrasting the structure of the
Complex Sentence, namely relative clauses,
complement clauses and coordinate sentences in
English, Moroccan Arabic and Berber. The basic
approach underlying the contrastive analysis
conducted in this book is approximately the Standard
Transformational approach.
The book itself falls into four chapters. For ease of
expostion, the introductory chapter includes a brief
sociolinguistic survey of the three languages, and a
brief outline of their most salient different
syntactic features. Chapter two discusses in detail
the relative clause, the status of the relative
forms and their morphosyntax.
Chapter three concerns itself with complement
clauses and how the various structures involved
contrast in these languages. The purpose of the
fourth chapter is to give a sketchy overview of the
syntax of joined structures in English, Moroccan
Arabic and Berber, and discuss in detail the main
characteristics of coordination in each language.
Particular attention is drawn to the semantic
processes at work.
