| Brief Description: | Ideal for beginners, this abridged version of William Wright’s classic Grammar of the Arabic Language offers students an easy-to-use reference that omits superfluous details but retains the essentials. The three-part treatment covers orthography (the representation of the language’s sounds by written symbols), parts of speech, and syntax—all in concise and accessible terms. It offers English-speaking students of Arabic an excellent resource, and it is an indispensable companion volume for readers of Arabic texts. |
