"The purpose of this study is preliminary to assess and characterize the lexical relationships that exist among the major urban Syro-Lebanese varieties of Arabic. This constitutes a quantitative analysis of degrees of similarity (or differentiation). To achieve this quantitative analysis, an analytical procedure based on lexical compatibility. Secondly, a classification of these Syro-Lebanese varieties is presented, albeit only as an implicational by-product of the compatibility analysis. Furthermore, in order to provide a wide perspective for this examination, these varieties are also compared with Classical Arabic and four geographically widespread non-Syro-Lebanese varieties."
