Template morphology and the direction of association

ConclusionI have argued in favor of allowing association to proceed from the edges inward in stems as well as affixes, and given an analysis of Classical Arabic verbal morphology as illustration. Since edge-in association is needed for reduplication, making use of the same principle for all association and relinquishing LR association entirely would be a desirable ambition. It remains for future research to establish the viability of this goal.
