| Description: |
This is a collection of studies by authors who investigate and outline the practical corollaries of Badawi's theory of Arabic, which says that interrelated language levels are ever changing along a sociolinguistic continuum. The topics covered span a wide spectrum on the subject. |
| Synopsis: |
Arabic, like any other natural language, has evolved throughout its long history, but its traditional mode of study has remained relatively unchanged and has continued to dominate the investigation of the language for some thirteen centuries. It has been perceived as a language immune to change on account of its intimate link to Islam; consequently, new ideas, findings, and approaches of modern linguistics have been routinely dismissed as irrelevant.One linguist, El-Said Badawi ventured to swim against the current and proposed a novel theoretical rendering of contemporary Arabic. |
