Descripción Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. A Linguistic History of Arabic presents a reconstruction of proto-Arabic by the methods of historical-comparative linguistics. It challenges the traditional conceptualization of an old, Classical language evolving into the contemporary Neo-Arabic dialects. Professor Owens combines established comparative linguistic methodology with a careful reading of the classical Arabic sources, such as the grammatical and exegetical traditions. He arrives at a richerand more complex picture of early Arabic language history than is current today and in doing so establishes the basis for a comprehensive, linguistically-based understanding of the history of Arabic. Thearguments are set out in a concise, case by case basis, making it accessible to students and scholars of Arabic and Islamic culture, as well as to those studying Arabic and historical linguists. Challenges the traditional accounts of the progression of classical Arabic to contemporary dialects. This work presents a picture of early Arabic language history, and establishes the basis for a linguistically-based understanding of the history of Arabic. It is useful for students and scholars of Arabic and Islamic culture. This item is printed on demand.
