Abstract
Semitic languages exhibit rich nonconcatenative morphological operations, which can generate a myriad of derivational lexemes. Especially, the feature rich, root-driven morphology in Arabic language demonstrates the construction of different trilateral verb stems which are called as verb forms. Although HPSG is a successful syntactic theory, it lacks the representation of complex nonconcatenative morphology. In this paper, I propose a novel HPSG representation of Arabic verb forms. I also present the lexical type hierarchy and derivational rules for generating these verb forms using HPSG framework.
