A Learner's Grammar of Levantine Arabic

An accessible grammar reference guide for learners of Levantine Arabic at all levels

A Learner's Grammar of Levantine Arabic is a comprehensive guide to the grammatical structures and rules of the Arabic varieties spoken in the Levant region, such as Palestinian, Syrian, Jordanian, and Lebanese. This book is suitable for beginners through more advanced levels, and it is the first to present North and South Levantine varieties side by side, allowing learners and linguists to compare them with each other and with other varieties of spoken Arabic.

Hitchcock groups major grammatical concepts together, making it easy to find information quickly, and he provides easy-to-understand explanations. The book includes extensive appendixes, with verb charts, prepositions, and conjunctions. Copious examples of native speaker usage—culled from newspapers, television programs, and more—are provided for each concept, helping learners understand how to apply the concepts to their own communications outside the classroom.
