| Summary: | Both the phonology of the Arab grammarians (AG) and the standard framework of generative phonology, which – based as it is on Chomsky & Halle (1968) – is now also a part of history, have in common the positing of abstract representations (ʾaṣl for the former, and phonological representations for the latter) and rules to account for alternations present in words. The fact that the AG did not elaborate the concept of the morpheme has resulted in considerable differences in the organization of phonology. Added to this is the fact that the rules of AG are not Markovian and do not apply mechanically, but by virtue of grand principles about the language or the intuitions of the speakers (the mythical Ancient Arabs for AG). |
