About this title

Synopsis

The revised and updated edition of Modern Arabic takes into account research published in several areas of Arabic linguistics since the first edition in 1995. It includes more extensive comment on the North African Arabic vocabulary of Modern Standard Arabic, more information about "mixed" varieties of written Arabic that are not in MSA (especially in Egypt), updated references, explanations, and adds many new examples. Students of the Arabic language will find Modern Arabic without peer - as will those general linguists who are interested in discovering how Arabic compares structurally and sociolinguistically with European languages.
