Summary

Stephan Procházka gives an overarching view of Arabic dialectology from its beginnings in the nineteenth century to the present day, also providing an overview of the general characteristics of spoken varieties of Arabic wherever those are found. Arabic dialectology examines regional variation using both synchronic (dialect geography) and diachronic (language change) approaches. Although its findings are relevant for the study of universal language tendencies in general, and of comparative Semitics in particular, Arabic dialectology has been widely ignored by theory-driven general linguistics. This may be because Arabic dialectologists have largely been interested in description of the myriad phenomena of the multitudinous spoken varieties of Arabic without concerning themselves much with theory. Lately, however, scholars working in Arabic dialectology have begun to present their work in such a way as to be more accessible to the broader field of linguistics.
