Book Description
The Arabic language across the ages represents a significant contribution to Arabic linguistics and philology. The book provides a variety of studies that address different aspects of the Arabic language. Some of the contributions are diachronic, focusing on the status quo of the language while others explore its history and development. It also provides text-analysis as well as geographical-based studies. Moreover, the relationship between Arabic and other languages is underlined. More specifically, the book presents studies on Arabic dialectology (e.g., Arabic North-African dialects), morphology (e.g., The Arabic plural), lexicology and lexicography (e.g., culinary lexicon), phonetics and phonology (e.g., vocalization), syntax (e.g., the function of the particle bi-), sociolinguistics (e.g. A lexical atlas of the Arab world), and history (e.g., dialects of Arabic before and after Classical Arabic). The present book is intended to be the first of a forthcoming series of publications on different aspects of the Arabic language, history and culture. The topics addressed offer a balanced treatment of the Arabic of today and the Arabic of the past. The book can be of great interest for linguists of Arabic, the students of Arabic as a native language or a foreign language, professors and students at departments of Semitic studies, Islamic studies and Middle Eastern studies at all universities. It can be also of interest for scholars studying the history and culture of the Arab world. Needless to say, general linguists may find some of the linguistic issues addressed quite relevant and of universal significance (e.g., Arabic broken plural). Dialectologists and researchers interested in language varieties will, undoubtedly, find some of the studies quite interesting since some understudied historical and current dialects of Arabic are investigated. This specific aspect of Arabic linguistics offers infinite number of research possibilities due to the diglossic relationship between Modern Standard Arabic or Classical Arabic and its various dialects as well as the rich variety of dialects spoken throughout the Arab World. The contributions presented in this book are simply eye opening, whetting our appetite for more. They definitely demonstrate that the Arabic language is still almost a virgin field of study, providing various research ideas to pursue.

Book Description
History and Development of the Arabic Language is a general introduction for students to the history of the Arabic language. It is divided into two parts; the pre-Islamic language up to the emergence of the first well-known works of Classical Arabic. Secondly, the transition from the pre-Islamic situation to the complex Arabic language forms after the emergence of Islam and the Arab conquests, both in Arabia and in the diaspora. The book focuses on the pre-Islamic linguistic situation, where the linguistic geography and relevant demographic aspects of pre-Islamic Arabia will be introduced. In addition, the book will also discuss the communicative contexts and varieties of Modern Arabic. The book includes readings, discussion questions and data sets to provide a complete textbook and resource for teachers and students of the history of Arabic.

Book Description
The Arabic Language was first published in 1969. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions. Arabic, with its rich literary heritage, is one of the major languages of the world. It is spoken by about one hundred million people inhabiting a wide and important area of the Middle East. Yet the language and its significant role in history are little known in the English-speaking countries except among specialists. This book will, it is hoped, help to introduce the language and demonstrate its importance to a wider audience. Professor Philip K. Hitti of Princeton University writes in the foreword: "Until recently Arabic studies in this country had been limited to the graduate level and confined to a few universities. Since World War II they have inched their way to the undergraduate curriculum of a small number of universities. But they are still top-heavy and anemic. They will so remain unless they send their roots deeper down into high schools and enlist the interest of a widening circle of nonspecialists. "Hence the value of this work by Professor Chejne. It is a commendable attempt to introduce the Arabic language, with its features and problems, to students and nonspecialists, to tell the story of its dramatic evolution from a tribal dialect to one of the few carriers of world culture, to indicate its unique relation to the religion of Islam and its role in the development of modern Arab nationalism. The book, written in a language intelligible to the layman, sums up what is already known and presents the contribution of the author."

The book covers commonly researched language varieties, like Yiddish, Judeo-Spanish, and Judeo-Arabic, as well as less commonly researched ones, like Judeo-Tat, Jewish Swedish, and Hebraized Amharic in Israel today.

Book Description
The Routledge Handbook of Arabic Linguistics introduces readers to the major facets of research on Arabic and of the linguistic situation in the Arabic-speaking world. The edited collection includes chapters from prominent experts on various fields of Arabic linguistics. The contributors provide overviews of the state of the art in their field and specifically focus on ideas and issues. Not simply an overview of the field, this handbook explores subjects in great depth and from multiple perspectives. In addition to the traditional areas of Arabic linguistics, the handbook covers computational approaches to Arabic, Arabic in the diaspora, neurolinguistic approaches to Arabic, and Arabic as a global language. The Routledge Handbook of Arabic Linguistics is a much-needed resource for researchers on Arabic and comparative linguistics, syntax, morphology, computational linguistics, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, and applied linguistics, and also for undergraduate and graduate students studying Arabic or linguistics.

Book Description
This book traces the origins and development of the Arabic grammatical marker š/šī, which is found in interrogatives, negators, and indefinite determiners over a broad dialect area that stretches from the southern Levant to North Africa and includes dialects of Yemen and Oman. David Wilmsen draws on data from old vernacular Arabic texts and from a variety of Arabic dialects, and shows that, contrary to much of the literature on the diachrony of this morpheme, š/šī does not derive from Arabic šay 'thing'. Instead, he argues that it dates back to a pre-Arabic stage of West Semitic and probably has its origins in a Semitic demonstrative pronoun. On this theory, Arabic šay could in fact derive from š/šī, and not vice versa. The book demonstrates the significance of the Arabic dialects in understanding the history of Arabic and the Semitic languages, and claims that modern Arabic dialects could not have developed from Classical Arabic. It will be of interest to historical linguists of all persuasions from graduate level upwards, particularly all those working on Arabic and other Semitic languages.
