The Foundations of Arabic Linguistics II
This second volume on The Foundations of Arabic Linguistics contains contributions from the second conference on Arabic linguistics, hosted by the University of Cambridge in 2012.All contributions deal with the grammatical theories formulated by the first grammarian to write a complete survey of the Arabic language, Sibawayhi (died at the end of the 8th century C.E.). They treat such topics as the use of hadith in grammar, the treatment of Persian loanwords, the expression of modality, conditional clauses, verbal valency, and the syntax of numerals. Contributors are: Georgine Ayoub, Michael G. Carter, Hanadi Dayyeh, Jean N. Druel, Manuela E.B. Giolfo, Almog Kasher, Giuliano Lancioni, Amal Marogy, Arik Sadan, Beata Sheyhatovitch, Cristina Solimando, and Kees Versteegh.

Inversion, Definiteness, and Case Assignment in Arabic Nominal Structure: the Classical Theory
The aim of this paper is to briefly show that the pre-positioning of the prepositional (or ẓarf-type) phrase in locative sentences does not affect the function of subject/topic assumed by the noun following it, and that the principle of inversion in Arabic can be accounted for within the traditional Arabic as well as modern linguistic theory. I argue that Kouloughli (2002) the rule of definiteness for subjects is ignored, which will prove to be indispensable when dealing with this kind of phrase. Moreover, the notion of topic or mubtada' is dissociated from the notion of initial position ' ibtidā'. I show that traditional Arabic linguistics still provides us with adequate answers to clause structure and behaviour in the values assigned to the nominal phrases composed of ẓurūf/ prepositional phrases + indefinite noun. The approach adopted in this paper is different from Kouloughli's, as it aims at letting the data speak for themselves, without imposing on them theories from contemporary linguistics.
