I think the best concise introduction to Arabic linguistics is Mary  
Catherine Bateson's "Arabic Language Handbook" (1967). If you need  
something extremely concise, Charles Ferguson's article "Arabic  
Language" in the old Encyclopedia Britannica (the one right before the  
1974 edition) packs a ton of information in just two or three pages.

Best,
Tim Buckwalter

Consult Clive Holes' Modern Arabic: Structures, Functions and Varieties  
(Longman Linguistics Library, 1995, ISBN: 0582258820).  It describes  
Modern Arabic and many of its variations quite meticulously using  
advanced linguistic terminology.
