En savoir plus sur le livre
This manual provides a practical approach to the colloquial Arabic spoken in Mesopotamia, emphasizing its simplified structure and dialectical variations compared to the written language, which retains older forms and grammar. The inclusion of literary language is minimal, catering to those who prioritize a working knowledge of the colloquial over strict transliteration. This approach is justified by the time constraints of learners who seek to communicate effectively. The vocabulary presented is widely understood in the region. The contents include a note on transliteration, the Arabic alphabet, vowels, and other script signs, followed by a comprehensive exploration of grammar and usage. Topics covered range from the plural form, elision, and salutations to more complex structures like the regular and irregular verbs, possession, and numerals. Additional sections address adjectives, conditional sentences, idiomatic expressions, and time-related vocabulary. The manual also features a bibliography and a vocabulary section, making it a valuable resource for those looking to gain a functional command of the language. This re-edition, originally published in 1918, is part of the LINCOM Orientalia series and spans 272 pages. ISBN 9783862889044.
