Author: Jonathan Owens
Abstract:

This book explores nearly 2000 years of the history of the Arabic
language, from pre-Islamic Arabic via the Classical era of the Arabic
grammarians up to the present day. Jonathan Owens advocates a multiple
pathways approach to the development of Arabic, which he shows to be
alinear in many respects but multilinear in others.
