ABOUT THIS BOOK
Originally published in 1979, this classic reference work presents definitions of grammatical and linguistic terms for spoken Egyptian Arabic in dictionary form from "active participles" through "writing system." Entries feature definitions and examples of all the grammatical features including phonology, morphology, and syntax. Aimed at the intermediate to advanced student of Egyptian Arabic, this volume presupposes a basic knowledge of Egyptian Arabic. Arabic lexical items are presented in romanized transliteration and are therefore accessible to those who are not familiar with Arabic script.
REVIEWS
Of interest primarily to serious students and scholar of Arabic language and dialects, A Reference Grammar of Egyptian Arabic is a must-have for the collection of any academic library aiming to support programs in Arabic language and linguistics.
