Arabic Historical Phraseology: Supplement to Written Arabic. an Approach to the Basic Structures

Professor Beeston's Written Arabic is designed primarily to bring research students and others quickly to a reading knowledge of modern Arabic in order to use Arabic source materials. Because Arabic has a very specialised vocabulary Written Arabic contains comparatively little exercise material within the text. Instead Professor Beeston is providing accompanying booklets of Arabic exercise material in specific major fields - history, economics and sociology - so that students can begin immediately to learn the vocabulary and style of Arabic in their own field of interest. Arabic Historical Phraseology contains exercise material taken from historical writing in modern Arabic and is related directly to the chapters of Written Arabic.
