Abstracts

EN

The study aims at providing a short summary of issues associated with verb sequencing and, more specifically, verb serializing in some of the world languages, and to confront them with the linguistic situation of Arabic. Since the analytic structures stand relatively closer to the process of sequencing than fully inflected synthetic ones, the evidence gathered from the colloquial varieties of Arabic will constitute the chief material basis for the present inquiry.
