-- The essential study guide to Arabic grammar -- A true classic in
the field. In addition to Qur'an selections, fables, stories,
newspaper extracts, letters, and excerpts from classical and modern
Arabic writings are included. The book contains 52 chapters with a
vocabulary of over 4,000 words. It will serve as a basis for
further and deeper study of this classical language and its
literature; at the same time it will help to form a good foundation
for those who wish to concentrate on the modern written language of
literature and the daily press. This is above all a practical
grammar. It is meant for the beginner who is not familiar with the
peculiarities of the Semetic languages. Nevertheless, it is
comprehensive enough for most students' needs in the first two
or three years of study.
