Présentation de l'éditeur
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.
Revue de presse
"The new book Modern Arabic by C. Holes deserves a very warm welcome indeed. There is nothing quite like it in the field of Arabic Linguistics and it is written by a scholar who is familiar at firat hand both with the facts of Modern Arabic as they are in the modern Arab world, and with the classical language, its literature and the crucial place it occupies in Islamic civilization." Bulletin of the school of Oriental and African studies, 1997 "Thanks to C. Holes we now have a book that examines in some depth the relationship between the spoken and the written language, and which provides us with a lively and erudite account of the current state of the Arabic language in its many forms." Bibliotheca Orientalis, 1997
