Know about the book -

Clause Structure and Word Order in Hebrew and Arabic is written by Ur Shlonsky and published by Oxford University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0195355245 (ISBN 10) and 9780195355246 (ISBN 13).

Shlonsky uses Chomsky's Government and Binding Approach to examine clausal architecture and verb movement in Hebrew and several varieties of Arabic. He establishes a syntactic analysis of Hebrew and then extends that analysis to certain aspects of Arabic clausal syntax. Through this comparative lens of Hebrew, Shlonsky hopes to resolve a number of problems in Arabic syntax. His results generate some novel and important conclusions concerning the patterns of negations, verb movement, the nature of participles, and the gamut of positions available to clausal subjects in both languages.
