Designed to be welcoming for undergraduates without fluency in Arabic and for students with only limited familiarity with linguistics, this textbook covers all fundamental areas of Arabic linguistics. Detailed yet accessible chapters include comprehension and analysis questions, critical thinking exercises, application examples with authentic data, reading assignments, and classroom and homework projects.

This book is far richer and more detailed in its treatment of the topics considered in many regards than earlier similar publications. Given its depth and theoretically framed discussion, it is also more useful in many regards than standard reference grammars—a different genre of work, of course—that may ultimately contain more detail but do not seek to demonstrate the underlying systematicity of the language.”\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e--\u003cb\u003eKeith Walters\u003c\/b\u003e, Professor Emeritus of Applied Linguistics,
