North East Arabian Dialects

First published in 1982. The reasons behind the establishment of this Series on Arabic linguistics are manifold. Arabic linguists may be defined as: the scientific investigation and study of the Arabic language in all its aspects. This embraces the descriptive comparative and historical aspects of the language. It also concerns itself with the classical form as well as the Modern and contemporary standard forms and their dialects. Moreover it attempts to study the language in the appropriate regional social and cultural settings. It is hoped that the Series will devote itself to all issues of Arabic linguistics in all its manifestations on both the theoretical and applied levels. The results of these studies will also be of use in the field of linguistics in general as well as related subjects. Monograph 3 looks at North East Arabian Dialects.
