Description

The Arabic language has a rich and complex history that spans over 1,000 years. This comprehensive introduction explores the development of the language from pre-Islamic times to the age of conquests.

Divided into two main parts, the book first examines the pre-Islamic linguistic situation in Arabia, including its geographical and demographic aspects. It then discusses the transition to the complex Arabic language forms that emerged after the emergence of Islam and the Arab conquests.

The book also covers the communicative contexts and varieties of Modern Arabic, providing a complete resource for teachers and students of the history of Arabic. With readings, discussion questions, and data sets included, this textbook is an invaluable tool for anyone looking to understand the evolution of the Arabic language.
