Overview

\"A Learner's Grammar of Levantine Arabic is a comprehensive guide for learners to the grammatical structures and rules of spoken Levantine dialects through easy-to-understand explanations and unique examples from native speakers. Suitable for beginners through more advanced levels, the book groups major grammatical concepts together, making it easy to find information quickly, and presents extensive appendices with verb charts, prepositions, and conjunctions, as well as other information learners need. Copious examples culled from newspapers, television programs, and more are provided for each concept. As the first reference work to present North and South Levantine varieties side by side, it allows students to compare them with each other and with other varieties of spoken Arabic. This book presents Arabic script and English meanings alongside the contemporary transliteration system Arabizi, drawn from native speakers' communication in non-Arabic contexts, that students will find useful for communicating beyond the classroom. Although this book is designed as an approachable reference for learners of Levantine Arabic, it will also be of interest to Arabic linguists and researchers, as the author compiled a large corpus of Levantine Arabic in his research and writing\"-- Provided by publisher.
