Chapter II describes the procedure, programs and speakers used for this study, as well as the reasons of their inclusion herein. Chapter III is a critical review of literature in the field, organized chronologically. Chapter IV explains the relevant phonological features that serve as the preliminary “tools” in distinguishing between the Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), Colloquial Arabic (CA), and ESA verb forms analyzed in this study. Chapter V presents a general description of verbs in three distinct styles (MSA, CA, ESA). Chapters VI, VII and VIII are the main body of the study. Chapter VI includes an examination of the present tense (indicative, subjunctive, jussive, future), of sound and irregular verbs (weak, hollow, and doubled), both active and passive. Chapter VII examines past tense of sound and irregular verbs (weak, and verbs with <italic>hamza </italic> as the final radical). Chapter VIII deals with negation of the present and past tenses. And finally, Chapter IX summarizes conclusions reached throughout this study, while Chapter X is the general conclusion that explores the pedagogical implications of this study and provides recommendations for future research.

This is a linguistic study treating the morphology of verbs in Educated Spoken Arabic (ESA). The main goal of this study is to create a grammar of the verb systems in regard to Egyptian ESA, with one of the main underlying assumptions being that the morphological variation in ESA is not random or “free,” but that it occurs according to fixed grammatical rules. The purpose of such a study is to contribute to the growing research on defining the grammar of ESA, that is of great importance for the pedagogy of teaching Arabic.
This work is based on a corpus of spoken Arabic collected from different sources. The approach is empirical, i.e. the facts and statements are informed by evidence drawn from a corpus.
The chapters are organized in the following way: Chapter I is an introduction into the problem of defining ESA. Chapter II describes the procedure, programs and speakers used for this study, as well as the reasons of their inclusion herein. Chapter III is a critical review of literature in the field, organized chronologically. Chapter IV explains the relevant phonological features that serve as the preliminary “tools” in distinguishing between the Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), Colloquial Arabic (CA), and ESA verb forms analyzed in this study. Chapter V presents a general description of verbs in three distinct styles (MSA, CA, ESA). Chapters VI, VII and VIII are the main body of the study.

And finally, Chapter IX summarizes conclusions reached throughout this study, while Chapter X is the general conclusion that explores the pedagogical implications of this study and provides recommendations for future research.
