Most studies on Arabic have dealt exclusively with either regional
dialects of the language found in classic texts such as the Holy
Quran. In "A Transformational Grammar of Modern Literary Arabic,"
Mohammad Ziad Kebbe provides the most thorough syntactic analysis
available of the language used by modern writers and journalists.
Drawing on Chomsky's model of linguistic theory, Kebbe provides an
in-depth generative account of three major types of Arabic
sentences: the coordinate, the negative, and the interrogative. He
also focuses on significant transformations frequently found in
modern Arabic, such as pronominalization, clitic movement, and
dative movement.
"A Transformational Grammar of Modern Literary Arabic" will
appeal to all language specialists and promote further appreciation
of the structural subtleties of written Arabic.
