ARABIC RHETORIC: A PRAGMATIC ANALYSIS

"Arabic Rhetoric provides an interesting chronological historical account of the birth and development of Arabic rhetorical studies starting from the pre-Islamic period to the twenty-first century. As the present book provides the stylistic mechanisms of Arabic, it can, therefore, be a vital source for learning Arabic as a foreign language since it explains the skilful weaving of Arabic sentences and the stylistic tools needed for effective Arabic discourse. This book is a vital source for contrastive linguistics and literary studies between Arabic and other languages"--Book jacket.
