Description

Foundations of Arabic Grammar is a translation of the first volume of Rashid al-Shartuni’s hugely popular textbook on Arabic grammar, Mabadi al-‘Arabiyyah (edited by Hamid al-Muhammadi). It consists of forty-eight short and easy-to-understand lessons on morphology and syntax. The topics are systematically arranged and the material is presented in a simple and lucid style, tailored specifically to the needs of beginners to the subject. Learning is further facilitated by means of carefully constructed exercises at the end of each lesson, a bilingual glossary of grammatical terms, and a parallel English-Arabic layout of the text.
