Overview

Arabic Rhetoric explores the history, disciplines, order and pragmatic functions of Arabic speech acts. It offers a new understanding of Arabic rhetoric and employs examples from modern standard Arabic as well as providing a glossary of over 448 rhetorical expressions listed in English with their translations, which make the book more accessible to the modern day reader. Hussein’s study of Arabic rhetoric bridges the gap between learning and research, whilst also meeting the academic needs of our present time. This up-to-date text provides a valuable source for undergraduate students learning Arabic as a foreign language, and is also an essential text for researchers in Arabic, Islamic studies, and students of linguistics and academics.

Abdul-Raof has given us a useful textbook on rhetoric and comparative linguistics for non-natives learning Arabic as a foreign language. Moreover, he has offered a historical and pedagogic masterpiece, which will be of special significance for students and researchers in Arabic literature, particularly those interested in applying or appreciating the analytical tools of Arabic rhetorical schemata in regard to the oral and written modes of the Arabic literary experience and tradition. - Amidu Olalekan Sanni; Middle Eastern Literatures: incorporating Edebiyat, 13:1, 117-119 (2012).
