Are you at your wits' end (ضاقت بك الأرض) trying to
master the Arabic language (تجيد اللغة)? With thousands of
entries, this dictionary will help you to rattle off (تحدر
حدراً) idioms and expressions in no time (في لمح
البصر). The ability to use and understand idioms and
expressions often marks the difference between a language-learning
beginner and a natural-sounding language user. This dictionary
translates over 8,000 Arabic idioms and expressions into English,
covering a wide range of situations and registers. It helps
intermediate and advanced learners of Arabic working in fields
including translation, academia and business to hone their skills,
and is equally useful to native Arabic speakers involved in
translating and interpreting from Arabic to English.
Focused on two networks, Al-Jazeera and BBC Arabic, this study
provides an in-depth quantitative and qualitative analysis of
different media strategies employed in the coverage of Covid-19.
The author draws primarily from Critical Discourse Analysis,
supplemented by an analysis of corpora from both Al-Jazeera and
BBC, comprising news items, documentaries and discussion shows. An
array of key topics are examined for their language and lexis,
including political leaders and governments, the public and victims
of Covid-19. The two networks' coverage of these topics are closely
compared and contrasted, with both employing strategies of
exemplification, nominalisation, functionalisation, naming and
labelling. The analysis shows that the two networks have displayed
a solidarity discourse throughout the pandemic, emphasising the
need to fight the disease. In addition, the networks have
consistently stressed the gravity of the pandemic, urging adherence
to local regulations. It is ultimately argued that examining the
coverage of Covid-19 from a dialectical perspective will enable us
to unravel the social, cultural, political, and ideological motives
behind the production of pandemic media discourse. The book will
appeal to students and researchers in linguistics, media and
communications, and Middle Eastern studies, as well as to general
readers interested in conflict and pandemic response.

In the eighteenth century, the academic scholar Ibn al-Tayyib made
a rihla (journey) from Morocco to the Hijaz, in modern day Saudi
Arabia, documenting his travels in the translated manuscript "Rihla
ila al-Hijaz", now stored in Leipzig University Library. Lahlali
and Al-Dihan here introduce the manuscript and provide a commentary
on this remarkable journey and the socio-political climate of the
time in which it took place. Al-Tayyib's detailed manuscript
contains accounts of observations he made during his travels and
his comments regarding the social, economic and political
conditions of the countries he visited, as well as comments about
the scholars whom he was able to meet. The work is considered the
most important reference to the author's life and culture, and is
an important source in terms of the linguistic derivations of
geographical names. Lahlali and Al-Dihan also provide an insight
into al-Tayyib's life and work during the period that he spent
outside North Africa. A full translation of the manuscript is
provided in this book which serves as a reference for further
study.
