| Abstract: | This volume explores nearly 2000 years of the history of the Arabic language, from pre-Islamic Arabic via the Classical era of the Arabic grammarians up to the present day. Jonathan Owens advocates a multiple pathways approach to the development of Arabic, which he shows to be alinear in many respects but multilinear in others |
