Description

Clive Holes' Modern Arabic provides an authoritative and concise description of the structure and use of modern Arabic. The revised edition builds upon the author's earlier work, incorporating recent research in Arabic linguistics to offer a more comprehensive understanding of the language.

The book explores how Arabic has evolved over time, tracing its development from Classical Arabic through the increasingly symbiotic use of Modern Standard Arabic and dialectal Arabic. Holes examines the structural characteristics that underlie both forms, as well as their varying uses in different contexts.

Through a detailed analysis of phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and lexical developments, Modern Arabic illustrates how native speakers employ both Modern Standard Arabic and spoken dialects for distinct purposes. This new edition offers valuable insights into the complexities of modern Arabic, making it an essential resource for linguistics students and scholars.
