Abstract:

The writing of Arabic’s linguistic history is by definition an
interdisciplinary effort, the result of collaboration between historical
linguists, epigraphists, dialectologists, and historians. The present volume
seeks to catalyse a dialogue between scholars in various fields who are
interested in Arabic’s past and to illustrate how much there is to be gained
by looking beyond the traditional sources and methods. It contains 15
innovative studies ranging from pre-Islamic epigraphy to the modern spoken
dialect, and from comparative Semitics to Middle Arabic. The combination of
these perspectives hopes to stand as an important methodological intervention,
encouraging a shift in the way Arabic’s linguistic history is written.
