It investigates the phonology and morphosyntax of Jordanian Arabic, with a focus on the traditional sedentary varieties of Central and Northern Jordan, locally known as Balgawi and Horani. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough theory-neutral, the description is typologically informed and should be accessible to anyone broadly acquainted with linguistics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe structure of the grammar follows the traditional division between phonology, morphology and syntax. The phonology chapter discusses both segmental and suprasegmental features. The morphology section investigates the structure of the major word classes, both open and closed, as well as minor classes such as interjections, discourse markers and other uninflected particles. The chapter on syntax explores the internal structure of noun and verb phrases and the syntax of simple and complex clauses as well as transversal phenomena such as agreement, negation and information structure. The book also includes a section devoted to the social dialectology of Jordan, and a discussion of the data upon which the grammar is based and three transcribed and translated texts belonging to the traditional dialect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bruno Herin,Enam Al-Wer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1805113348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781805113348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Open Book Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/07\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.43d","brand":"Bruno Herin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47637491122431,"sku":"9781805113348","price":54.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_10cc105a-d82f-4f2f-b725-40310587a70b.jpg?v=1765116530","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-grammar-of-jordanian-arabic-bruno-herin-9781805113348","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
