Focusing on two significant phonological changes in Arabic—assimilation and substitution—the book delves into how segments interact within words, particularly in doubled verbs and specific forms. Assimilation involves segments merging into a doubled form, while substitution occurs when one segment replaces another due to factors like heavy combinations or articulation proximity. The study spans from the 8th century to the present, providing a detailed analysis of various cases and theoretical discussions, making it an essential resource for students and researchers of Arabic linguistics.
