This paper deals with reduction in Arabic. It attempts to give evidence that the phenomena goes beyond the simple cases of isolated word deletion. In this order, data, relating to deverbal, appropriate and classifier noun constructions, are examined.
Reconstructed sequences are established and, in almost all situations, summed up in equivalent reduced ones. This gives place to some kind of information, with neither loss, nor redundancy.
