Book Description
Have you always wanted to learn how to speak the Arabic dialect of the United Arab Emirates but simply didn't have the time? Well look no further. You hold in your hands the most advanced and revolutionary method that was ever designed for QUICKLY becoming conversational in a language. In creating this time saving program, master linguist Yatir Nitzany spent nearly three years examining the 27 most common languages in the world and distilling from them the 350 words that are most likely to be used in real conversations. These 350 words were chosen in such a way that they are structurally interrelated, and when combined, they form sentences. Through various other discoveries about how real conversations work, that are detailed further in this book, Nitzany created the necessary tools for linking these words together in a specific way so that you may to become fluent NOW. If your desire is to learn complicated grammatical rules, or to speak Shakespearean Arabic, this book is NOT for you. However, if you need to actually hold a conversation whilst on a trip to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or other places in the UAE, to impress that certain someone, or to be able to speak with your grandfather or grandmother as soon as possible, then the Nitzany Method is what you have been looking for. This book is recommended for those who already have prior knowledge in pronunciation of Arabic accents (such as the Arabic accents: "ayin," "ghayn," "ha," and "khaf"). For those of you that DO NOT, this book does indeed provide some great, in depth techniques (page #15) as to the pronunciation and recognition of these accents that you will encounter throughout the program. These techniques have proven extremely beneficial for beginner students who were previously unfamiliar with these accent pronunciations. In Jordanian dialect, verb conjugation is irregular and this book will NOT teach you those skills since this is NOT a grammar book. In most languages, including Classical Arabic, a conjugated verb is always followed by an infinitive verb, but this is NOT the case in the Jordanian colloquial dialect since every verb in the sentence must be conjugated. Keep in mind that Jordanian Arabic is not an official language, but rather is a colloquial dialect. The purpose of my method is solely to give you the tools to create your own sentences in order to become conversational, while in regards to grammar, pronunciation, etc.. you are on your own! This method is designed for fluency in a foreign language, while communicating in the first person. Nitzany believes that what's most important is actually being able to understand and be understood by another human being right away. Therefore, unlike other courses, all words in this program are taught in English transliteration, without having to learn a complex foreign alphabet. More formalized training in grammar rules, learning to write in a foreign alphabet, etc. can all come later. This is one of the many in a series of instructional language guides, the Nitzany Method's revolutionary approach is the only one in the world that uses it's unique language technology to actually enable you to speak and understand native speakers in the shortest amount of time possible. No more depending on volumes of books of fundamental, beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels, all with hundreds of pages in order to learn a language. With "Conversational Arabic Quick and Easy" all you need are 45 pages. This book has proven useful for beginners, intermediate, and advanced speakers of the Arabic language. Learn the spoken Emirati Arabic today, not tomorrow, and get started NOW! Note from the Author: This book is by NO means, shape, NOR form a phrase book! Please start at the beginning of program (page#16) and fully master one page at a time prior to proceeding to the next, otherwise you will overwhelm yourself and fail. Method is similar to Paul Pimsleur tech, and better than the Rosetta St

Book Description
This book investigates selected aspects of the grammatical development of Emirati Arabic, the variety of Gulf Arabic spoken in the United Arab Emirates and closely related to the varieties spoken in the rest of the Gulf States. While the acquisition of Arabic as a second language has been widely studied, first language acquisition of different Arabic dialects has received much less attention. Ntelitheos addresses this disparity by presenting a number of systematic studies on the acquisition of Emirati Arabic grammar based on a two-year longitudinal corpus of six children. He discusses the acquisition of the nominal domain, including definiteness and possession; the acquisition of verbal functional structure and agreement; and the acquisition of word order and negation in the syntactic domain. In addition, he defines several developmental stages for Emirati Arabic, based on established diagnostic tests. The discussion is framed within a general survey of the relevant literature in Arabic acquisition studies and combines new empirical data with rigorous discussion of several long-standing theoretical problems in the broader field of child language development.

Book Description
This volume is the first systematic attempt to survey current progress in the relatively new field of Experimental Arabic Linguistics. While experimental work on Arabic linguistics has appeared sporadically in several venues in the past, the chapters in this book provide a more coherent picture of the exciting directions which the field is pursuing. They provide insights into the complex nature of the Arabic language and how native speakers process it, using cutting-edge experimental methodologies in the fields of phonetics, psycholinguistics, and typical and atypical language development. This volume is of particular interest to scholars, researchers, and students at both the undergraduate and graduate level, in the fields of linguistics and language studies and can be a point of reference for scholars and researchers in the fields of theoretical and experimental Arabic linguistics.
