Críticas

"The new book Modern Arabic by C. Holes deserves a very warm welcome indeed. There is nothing quite like it in the field of Arabic Linguistics and it is written by a scholar who is familiar at firat hand both with the facts of Modern Arabic as they are in the modern Arab world, and with the classical language, its literature and the crucial place it occupies in Islamic civilization." "Bulletin of the school of Oriental and African studies", 1997 "Thanks to C. Holes we now have a book that examines in some depth the relationship between the spoken and the written language, and which provides us with a lively and erudite account of the current state of the Arabic language in its many forms." "Bibliotheca Orientalis", 1997
