Williams, Professor of Arabic at Cambridge, for many hints, especially for correcting the English.'

Thematic Structure and Para-Syntax: Arabic as a Case Study
Thematic Structure and Para-Syntax: Arabic as a Case Study presents a structural analysis of Arabic, providing an alternative to the traditional notions of theme and rheme.Taking Arabic as a case study, this book claims that approaches to thematic structure propounded in universalist linguistic theories, of which Hallidayan systemic functional linguistics is taken as an illustrative example, are profoundly wrong. It argues that in order to produce an analysis of thematic structure and similar phenomena which is not undermined by its own theoretical presuppositions, it is necessary to remove such notions from the domain of linguistic and semiotic theory. The book initially focuses on Sudanese Arabic, because this allows for a beautifully clear exposition of general principles, before applying these principles to Modern Standard Arabic, and some other Arabic varieties.This book will be of interest to scholars in Arabic linguistics, linguistic theory, and information structure.

The Routledge Handbook of Arabic Translation
Translation-related activities from and into Arabic have significantly increased in the last few years, in both scope and scale.

Introduction to Thai Reading
In order to master the Thai language, one must become adept at reading Thai. Students who rely on books with phonetic transliterations of Thai will make limited progress. In addition, some sounds in Thai have no direct equivalent in the Roman alphabet, so even the best transliterations cannot capture all the nuances of the language. Learning to read Thai is the path to a more profound grasp of the language. This book is based on years of experience teaching foreigners to speak and read Thai, and builds on the author's observations in the classroom about which rules of grammar, spelling and pronunciation most commonly impede their progress. Introduction to Thai Reading, designed to be a comprehensive foundation of 24 progressive lessons, will pave the way towards a solid and advanced knowledge of the Thai language. Those who complete the book will have acquired not only essential Thai reading skills, but also the vocabulary and grammar needed for basic Thai speaking. Includes downloadable MP3 audio files to accompany the text.
Vietnam
Travel recommendations get repeated over and over for just a dozen places in Vietnam. These are amazing places, but... Do you wonder what lies beyond them? Do they represent a little or a lot of Vietnam's diversity? What are those popular locations really like? Are the brochures honest? Were they written in New York, Sydney or Hong Kong? Vietnam is my second home, and my book relates what I know. It's based on my travel. Learned from listening to local people about their lives, the area, their beliefs and their history: in 60 of Vietnam's 63 provinces, cycling and walking about 8,000 km, on a motorbike and in buses for almost 12,000 km, crisscrossing the nation as happy as a dog with two tails. It's my pleasure to give you my travel advice and insights to the land where Heaven touches Earth.This is your 'Goldilocks' guide: it fits in your pocket or bag, and has the right amount of easy-to-read information and the right type of information. No sponsored content, no endless lists of places paying to be recommended, no bizarre opinions. And definitely not written to a standard formula by a journalist in New York.You get everything to get you there and for getting around. Lots of explanations of what you can see and do across the regions and cities. There's culture, history and photos too, and some surprises. Books are expensive, but a good guidebook like this can save you time and money. It might save you from wasting a day in a C-grade attraction, or staying in the wrong city. Thank you for considering my guide and please enjoy your time in Vietnam.

The Shapes and Sounds of the Lao Language
Lao is the native language of the southeast Asian country of Laos, and is also spoken by much of the inhabitants of northeastern Thailand, an area known as Isaan. Mastering a language as different to English as is Lao may first seem to be impossible; with its strange looking script and its multitude of tones and vowels, the task can be decidedly intimidating. Compounding the problems, many native Lao language teachers don't fully understand how to effectively explain these aspects of their language to the expatriate. Rather than a linguistic treatise, Shapes and Sounds of the Lao Language is a practical guide to help you to become fluent in Lao. Using a combination of relevant descriptions, language learning tricks, flash cards, drills and comparison tracks on downloadable MP3 audio files, you will be able to conquer some of the most difficult aspects of the language.

Language, Ideology and Sociopolitical Change in the Arabic-Speaking World
This book offers a critical interpretation of how the meta-linguistic LPLP discourse of major Arabic language academies from the turn of the twentieth century until the present day continuously 'burden' language with extra-linguistic, sociopolitical meanings, making it a proxy for the protracted courses of national identity negotiation, counter-peripheralisation in the modern world-system and modernisation. Integrating theories of language symbolism, language indexicality, LPLP, habitus, banal nationalism, world-system and perspectives of Critical Discourse Analysis, the book develops our understanding of the phenomenon and mechanism of the entanglement between language, ideology and sociopolitical change in the Arabic-speaking world and beyond.

The Historical Phonology of Tibetan, Burmese, and Chinese
The discovery of sound laws by comparing attested languages is the method which has unlocked the history of European languages stretching back thousands of years before the appearance of written records, e.g. Latin p- corresponds to English f- (pes, foot; primus, first; plenus, full). Although Burmese, Chinese, and Tibetan have long been regarded as related, the systematic exploration of their shared history has never before been attempted. Tracing the history of these three languages using just such sound laws, this book sheds light on the prehistoric language from which they descend. Written for readers with little linguistic knowledge of these languages, but fully explicit and copiously indexed for the specialist, this work will serve as the bedrock for future progress in the study of these languages.

Arabic For Beginners
Do you know the number one frustrating challenge that Arabic beginners face at the beginning of their Arabic language quest?That's right. Its vocabulary. Acquiring vocabulary is a dreading phase for any beginner, and people generally struggle to grow their vocabulary. They see it as a straining and extensive period which never seems to end.Did you know that, according to some reliable publications, the human brain is more likely to remember information stored in stories than "hard facts" information, i.e. boring textbooks? This is because our brain is programmed to recognize patterns of information (i.e. a plot in a story). Arabic and other languages require you to have a decent amount of vocabulary for you to be able to communicate effectively.The thing is, though, most people totally complicate this process of acquiring vocabulary. Are you tired of constantly writing down large vocabulary lists and memorizing them with no sense of direction? Do you hate the mere thought of having to open your textbook and highlight random words that you will probably never use?As the old saying goes, "I've been there and done that". But not to worry, though, this book has hundreds of vocabulary words that are useful and relevant. I have used them in a fun and engaging way. The stories have been crafted to enable the reader to take in the vocabulary and use it in context for themselves.When you purchase this book, you will get: Fifty short stories in Arabic and translated into English.Arabic text that is vowelized, making it very easy for a beginner to follow along.Some crucial tips for reading texts for language learners.How to properly benefit from stories when it comes to learning a language.Access to hundreds of new vocabulary words.
Arabic made easy
What if I told you that you could be fluent in Arabic in just 12 months?Many people, you see, are easily deterred from beginning their Arabic language adventure. They believe the language is difficult and perplexing. What if I told you that with the right methods, guidance, and mentorship, it's a lot easier than you think?For many years, I was in your shoes, believing that I would never be able to learn Arabic and that the language was simply above my capabilities. Then I discovered a three-stage approach that allowed me to learn Arabic in as little as 12 months!Is that it?Yes! Because, as humans, we have a tendency for overcomplicating things - the truth is that we can learn any language and achieve 95 percent fluency with just 2,500 words. You can't read Arabic texts not because you don't know any of the technical grammatical rules; rather, you don't understand any of the words!To put it another way, Arabic is all about context. It's pointless to memorize a long list of vocabulary without using it to make meaningful sentences. This audiobook will not only teach the three-stage process of learning Arabic, but it will also include the following: Provide you with 100 basic verbs that any beginner must know, fully conjugated, along with how to use them in sentences and different contexts (three examples for each verb).Provide you with the best memorization techniques for Arabic vocabulary.What to study, where to study, and how to study.A beginner's guide on how to read and write, in as little as two weeks.That's not all you'll hear about, so I encourage you to start listening today! What are you waiting for?
