Subject: Short Intro to Arabic for Linguists

A very decent short overview chapter is:  "Arabic," by Alan
Kaye, in _The World's Major Languages_, edited by Bernard
Comrie, Oxford Univ. Press, 1990, pp. 664-685.

One of the best books is:  Clive Holes' _Modern Arabic:
Structures, Functions and Varieties_, Longman, 1995.  It's
out of print, but you can find it in major libraries.
