Title: Dynamism in Modern Standard Arabic
Subtitle: An Analytical Study
Year: 2010
Publisher:  Lambert Academic Publishing (https://online.lap-publishing.com/=
)
ISBN: 978-3-8383-8177-0

Subject:  Dynamism is an intrinsic part of existence.  The entire universe =
along with all its entities is in constant state of lfux.  Giant creatures =
disappear and monuments are reduced to rubles with the passage of time.  La=
nguages are diverse and dynamic.  They are shaped and their continuity and =
discipline disrupted by their locale, race, class, ethnicity, gender, and a=
ge, as well as inherent elements present in a particular language.  Arabic =
is no exception to this tradition of change.  Despite having a recorded con=
sistency and continuity of a little more than 1500 years, Modern Standard A=
rabic has all the basic elements preserved of its ancestor language.  The s=
pirit is same with a new form
that reflects the massive changes arrived through by the humanity during th=
e pasty 15 centuries.  This is an unparalleled example in the history of hu=
man languages, wherein a language has retained its fundamental structure wi=
th such an integrity.  Islam, Sunnah, QUran, Arab nationalism - we can cont=
ribute this to many factors.  By all means, what we have today is an amazin=
g communication system thriving and flourishing in all its glory, rooted st=
rongly to its very origin.
