Abstract:

Arabic is one of the world's largest languages, spoken natively by nearly 300
million people. By strength of numbers alone Arabic is one of our most
important languages, studied by scholars across many different academic fields
and cultural settings. It is, however, a complex language rooted in its own
tradition of scholarship, constituted of varieties each imbued with unique
cultural values and characteristic linguistic properties. Understanding its
linguistics holistically is therefore a challenge. 

The Oxford Handbook of Arabic Linguistics is a comprehensive, one-volume guide
that deals with all major research domains which have been developed within
Arabic linguistics. Chapters are written by leading experts in the field, who
both present state-of-the-art overviews and develop their own critical
perspectives. The Handbook begins with Arabic in its Semitic setting and ends
with the modern dialects; it ranges across the traditional - the classical
Arabic grammatical and lexicographical traditions--to the contemporary--Arabic
sociolinguistics, Creole varieties and codeswitching, psycholinguistics, and
Arabic as a second language - while situating Arabic within current phonetic,
phonological, morphological, syntactic and lexicological theory. An essential
reference work for anyone working within Arabic linguistics, the book brings
together different approaches and scholarly traditions, and provides analysis
of current trends and directions for future research.
