Examines the templatic morphology of the Arabic verb system, and asks what the workings of such a system tell us about the way that humans construct and encode meaning. Moves beyond the traditional labels that are used to name the different categories of Arabic verb, to explore the conceptual structures that are coded linguistically by the various verb patterns.
