This book introduces the student to modern literary Arabic, particularly
the style used in newspapers, without undue emphasis on the finder
points of grammar found in advanced reference works. Various phrases of
Middle Eastern life are presented in simple narrative texts which
exemplify points analyzed in each chapter. The appendices indclude
paradigms, a list of verbs and their prepositions, and vocabularies.
Here are all the necessary tools for a well-organized attack on a
comparatively difficult language.
Published for the Department of Oriental Languages, Princeton
