内容説明

Modern Arabic provides a comprehensive examination of both Standard Modern Arabic and modern Arabic dialects. It outlines the basic structures of the various forms, explaining the synchronic and diachronic relationships between the written language and spoken dialects, and discusses cross-dialect influences. Particular attention is paid to describing intermediate varieties of Arabic which fall between the standard variety and plain dialect, and to the sociolinguistics of variation in Arabic. An unusual language-specific factor here is the nomadic-sedentary dialect split, which cross-cuts geographical dialect distinctions. The book begins with a concise yet comprehensive history of the language. It is illustrated throughout with a wealth of authentic examples which provide practical insights into the language of everyday life, the media, literature and politics.
