Data is taken from actual written Arabic, both literary and non-literary, observed or published since 1990. Sources range from street signs to high literature.

This comprehensive work is an invaluable resource for anyone at the intermediate to advanced level, from students through to teachers and linguists. It is ideal for use in colleges, universities and adult classes of all types.

The volume is organized to promote a thorough understanding of Arabic grammar. It offers a stimulating analysis of the complexities of the language, and provides full and clear explanations.

Features include:

detailed treatment of the common grammatical structures and parts of speech
extensive exemplification
particular attention to areas of confusion and difficulty

Arabic-English parallels highlighted throughout the book
an extensive index and numbered paragraphs for ease-of-reference
