Opis

This volume, a companion to Writing Arabic, provides a means for reading aloud written Arabic text and offers the first accurate instruction to learning a prestigious Arabic "accent." The categories of phonetics supply both practical instruction on pronunciation and a framework for the wider study of the spoken language. Eight chapters cover definitions of the style of Arabic with which the book is concerned, essentials of phonetics, the phonetic classification of the consonants of the Arabic alphabet, practical instructions on the pronunciation of Arabic consonants and vowels, accentuation, features of juncture and pause, quantity, rhythm, and intonation, and abundant illustrative and practice material.
