INTRODUCTION This book is intended for the student who has covered the essentials of Arabic morphology and syntax, presented in such introductory works as An Introduction to Modern Arabic by F. J. Ziadeh and R. B. Winder, and who has read simple selections of prose like that found in newspapers. It can, there­ fore, be described as an intermediate reader. The thirty-four selections found in the book represent the modern literary style of writing in the Eastern Arab coun­ tries. The writers hail from Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. No poetry or selections from works of North African writers are included as these two subjects merit separate treat­ ment. The selections may be divided into five

categories:

Selections I-XIII are either of the essay type or represent the attempt of the writer to deal with particular issue or experience; Selections XIV-XIX deal with political subjects; Selections XX-XXIV represent local color; Selections XXV-XXIX are biographical; and Selections XXX-XXXIV are short stories. In most cases the selection is an abridgment of a longer piece; the original language, however, is kept, and only minor transi­ tional phrases are employed to keep the continuity of the meaning. Moreover, the original punctuation is kept so as to accustom the student to the lack of system in this field. Only a few commas were changed to periods where the sense would otherwise be misleading. Sentence numbers are inserted in the text for the dual purpose of annotation and ready reference while reading in class. Numbering, however, does not always follow sentence sequence and many long clauses are given numbers for easier reference.

INTRODUCTION

The notes are self-explanatory except perhaps to say that, in giving the meaning of phrases and sentences, paren­ theses are used to enclose material necessary in English and brackets are used to enclose material necessary in Arabic. Trans­ literation is employed to avert the necessity of using Arabic vowel signs, which are problematical in printing. In transli­ terating, case endings are not given except when the point needing explanation involves them. A main feature of the book is a very careful count of all words in the selections. These were found to number 5,048 separate vocabulary units. In determining what constitutes a unit the criteria used by Jacob M. Landau's A Word Count of Modern Arabic Prose (New York: American Council of Learned Societies, 1959) was adopted. Further, every occurrence of each word was recorded to the end that if a word which is among the first two thousand most-used words (according to the Landau count) occurred less than ten times in the selections, it was used again in the exercises with a view to raising its number to ten. Thus, stress was laid upon the most recurring words in the language so as to aid the student in surmounting the vocabulary hurdle. Of the first two thousand words of the Landau count, 1,609 occur in the reader, with 1,429 repeated ten times or more, 116 words repeated more than five times but less than ten, and 64 words repeated only five times. No attempt was made to repeat numbers, relative pronouns, demonstrative pronouns, foreign words, and geographical names. The first one thousand words of the Landau count were found to represent between 70 and 75 percent of all words counted by him; so the 1,609 words stressed in this reader should represent a higher ratio of any given work in modern literary Arabic. In addition to their function in repeating the vocabulary units, the exercises are designed to review points of grammar, to χ

INTRODUCTION

emphasize syntactical and idiomatic points raised in the parti­ cular lesson, and to test the student's power of comprehending what he reads. No English to Arabic or composition exercises are included as these are beyond the scope of the present work which is essentially "a reader." Following every fourth lesson are supplementary exercises intended to repeat the vocabulary units. The exercises and supplementary exercises are limited to the words and idioms occurring either in the particular selection or in previous ones. The list of Arabic-English vocabulary needs some further comment. First, following Landau, participles are listed under the verb unless they represent a separate entity, in which case they are listed separately. Second, some comparative adjectives are listed as such instead of under the original adjective, as is the case with most adjectives, to guard against deducing a wrong meaning for those comparative adjectives. Third, a verb that can take different prepositions is given only one listing but with the different meanings provided. A list of the most common verbs with their prepositions can be found in Ziadeh and Winder, Introduction to Modern Arabic.

The index of idioms and set phrases contains, in addition to these items, all individual words which needed some sort of explanation in the notes. It is pleasant to acknowledge the help I received from my friends and colleagues. My thanks go first to Mr. Noury alKhaledy, formerly of Princeton and now of Portland State College, who assisted me through the various stages of this work. His cheerful cooperation made our exacting task much more enjoyable. My colleague Mr. Majed Sa'id was generous with his time in discussing with me the plan of the book and making several suggestions, and in being always willing to let me test

INTRODUCTION

my ideas with him. Mr. Michel Mazzaoui of Princeton aided in several ways, Mrs. Dorothy Dalby often supplied the English idiom needed, and Mr. Kennett Love spotted a number of words originally missing from the glossary. To all these friends my thanks are due. Finally, I would like to extend my thanks to Professor T. Cuyler Young, Chairman of the Department of Oriental Studies, for his engouragement and the extra time provided me to undertake this work, to the Five-University Summer Language Committee for financial

help toward the first sum­

mer's work on the reader, to the National Defense Education Act Administration for similar support in the summer of 1960 and to the staff of Princeton University Press, the publisher, and the Imprimerie Catholique, the printer, for completing an exacting task. Princeton, JV. J.

No relative pronoun is used because the antecedent is indefinite. (2)

an idiom meaning "crossed my mind." "what so-and-so endures of..." This construction, which consists of an indefinite pronoun followed by a verb and a p a r t i t i v e i s very common in Arabic. The pronoun is usually

Such a construction

best be translated by "the... which he endures." Notice in the same sentence (3)

This sentence stands for a presumed subjunctive like

" I must not prolong."

(4)

" I started to turn over (its pages)." The perfect verb

when followed by another verb in the imper-

fect, gives the meaning of "began," "started." Other verbs used in the same way are tence 27);

sentence 14). "lo and behold!" This is called the 3

of surprise.

SELECTION III

It is always followed by a noun or pronoun. (6)

" G o d is above causing a loss...," lit. " G o d is more generous than causing a loss..." "if it is correct."

(8)

"that is." This usage is employed in Arabic to introduce a sentence explaining a preceding one. The fa' is the conjunction, followed by the lam of the imperative, followed by the jussive, "to be obliged to (use)." a rare masdar of Form II verb.

: "as nothing before pleased him."

See above, sentence 4. "after I skipped." Most adverbs, when 4

followed by a verb, require the particles

or

as

"buffer." (22)

" I preferred." The verb

followed by a

verb in the imperfect denotes the past continuous. ( 2 3 ) " w h e n

we arrived."

"I called out to him." ( 2 6 ) " I t (27)

was incumbent upon me."

"instead of." : See above, sentence 4. "at least."

" I found no way but to consider," lit. " I saw no escape from considering."

"most probably." an alternate form of

of surprise. (See above,

sentence 4.) (32)

" H o w extravagant he is!" lit. " H o w strong is his extravagance!" When

is followed by a Form iv

verb, it gives the meaning of wonder or surprise. The noun which follows is in the accusative as object of the verb. This

is called the

of wonderment.

"may God disgrace him." Notice here the use of the perfect verb to express the optative. (33)

a word of Turkish origin meaning "an army post," but in Cairo such a post was used as a hospital; hence the colloquial meaning "hospital."

(34)

" O ! What an awful thing!" lit. " O black piece of news!" "we need not." The

is for absolute negation,

and the noun which follows is always in the singular accusative with no nunation. (35)

"whatever it wanted took place." Notice that 5

does not have a predicate because its sense is com-

plete without one. This type of

is called "the complete"

as distinguished from "the incomplete," which does require a predicate. The complete

may best be translated

by "tookplace," "happened," or "existed." (37)

"he did not know whether to curse or laugh." The interrogative particle

is here used in the

sense of "whether." Notice that the conjunction " o r " in an interrogative sentence is

Notice that when the subject of the verb was followed by several co-ordinates, the connection between the verb and its predicate might have been weakened had it not been reinforced by a new verb having the same meaning and placed before the predicate. 12

Usually, however, in similar situations, the same verb is repeated. (40)

"entirely." The sound masculine plural is used because this word is assimilated to adjectives of the form having a comparative or superlative signification, and referring to people.

"what might I perhaps do?" The word is a verb occurring only in the perfect but with an imperfective meaning. It means "perhaps," "might." It is sometimes followed by a noun or pronoun, as here, but often it is impersonal and is followed by the infinitival making the infinitival clause its subject, as in "you might perhaps hate..."

INDEX OF IDIOMS AND SET PHRASES

INDEX OF IDIOMS AND SET PHRASES NOTE : Idioms and phrases are listed alphabetically not according to root of words. In alphabetizing, hamzah precedes alif ; maddah is treated as hamzah-alif ; and vowels and shaddah are disregarded. Words within quotation marks indicate meanings, those italicized describe the corresponding words, and those between parentheses are transliteration. Roman and Arabic numerals refer respectively to the selection and the sentence in which the idiom or phrase occurs. Cross reference is employed for most phrases consisting of two words or more.
