Summary
Details

"Proverbs bring color to our speech. A way to understand a foreign culture is to learn its proverbs. This book presents a selection of more than 700 proverbs and wise sayings from the Arabic world. The dialectal forms are changed and presented in Modern Standard Arabic. The Arabic expressions are paralleled with transliterations, translations into English, and often explanations and English equivalents. The aim of the study is to enlarge the reader's vocabulary in Arabic and to stimulate cross cultural discussions. About the Author Joyce Akesson has studied the Semitic languages at Lund's University, Sweden, and has previously been a lecturer there during many years. Beside the present book, she is the author of ""Causes and Principles in Arabic"" (Pallas Athena 2011),""A Study in Arabic Phonology"" (Pallas Athena 2010), ""The Basics & Intricacies of Arabic Morphology"" (Pallas Athena 2010), ""The Phonological Changes due to the Hamza and Weak Consonant in Arabic"" (Pallas Athena 2010), ""A Study of the Assimilation and Substitution in Arabic"" (Pallas Athena 2010), ""The Essentials of the Class of the Strong Verb in Arabic"" (Pallas Athena 2010), ""The Complexity of the Irregular Verbal Nominal Forms & the Phonological Changes in Arabic"" (Pallas Athena Distribution 2009), ""Arabic Morphology and Phonology: Based on the Marah Al-Arwah by Ahmad B.
