Short fiction was an immensely popular art in the medieval and premodern Arab world, providing the perfect vehicle for transmitting the tenets of classical Islam. Reading these texts today illuminates the wide spectrum of early Arab life and suggests the influences and innovations that flourished so vibrantly in medieval Arab society. The only resource of its kind, Salma Khadra Jayyusi's Classical Arabic Stories chooses from an impressive corpus, including excerpts from six seminal works: Ibn Tufail's novel, Hayy ibn Yaqzan; Ibn al-Muqaffa's Kalila wa Dimna; The Misers of al-Jahiz; The Bret

Mieux connaître les caractéristiques des manuels de langue arabe composés et utilisés en France et dans l’empire colonial français, tel était l’objectif de la journée d’étude « Manuels d’arabe d’hier et d’aujourd’hui. France et Maghreb, XIXe-XXIe siècle », qui s’est déroulée le 29 septembre 2009 à la Bibliothèque nationale de France. La publication issue de cette journée d’études fait dialoguer des contributions sur les manuels en usage aux XIXe et XXe siècles avec des réflexions actuelles sur l’enseignement de la langue arabe : quelle place lui réserver dans le système scolaire primaire et secondaire français ? Doit-elle être le vecteur unique de l’enseignement primaire et secondaire au Maghreb ? À quel titre et sous quelles formes l’enseigner ? Ces questions ont été et restent encore aujourd’hui l’objet de vifs débats en France, au Maroc, en Algérie ou en Tunisie. Plus largement, les manuels imprimés constituent une source pour une histoire de l’enseignement en Afrique du Nord qui reste encore en grande partie à écrire. Ils fournissent aussi un matériau pour une histoire des usages, des représentations et des contacts linguistiques de part et d’autre de la Méditerranée, un domaine de recherche encore neuf et prometteur. Publié sous la direction de Sylvette Larzul et Alain Messaoudi, cet ouvrage rassemble les contributions de Barbara Airò, Kmar Bendana-Kchir, Khalid Ben-Srhir, Madiha Doss, Jérémie Dubois, Claire Gallien, Aurélien Girard, Sylvette Larzul, Denis Matringe, Alain Messaoudi, Michèle Sellès et Brigitte Trincard-Tahhan.

Chronologically speaking, the Koran created neither the Arabic language nor the Arabic letters. And yet, in the formidable brilliance of his thunderclap and by the infinitely multiplied echoes that he unleashed, he renewed, structured, diffused the old language, exalted his literature and created, in the full sense of the term this time, a civilization. The fundamental text of Arab literature affirms the rights and duties of mutual understanding among Arabs; he imposes that the nobility, in matters of knowledge, will pass through the only language which confers it and he will assign to his future expressions the obligation to be based on this voice of old Arabia which he has brought to its supreme form: literal, literary, classical Arabic. Classical Arabic language and literature are thus the sign, the mirror and the consciousness of a world which wants to perceive itself as global and one, and whose history can be read through theirs.

Depuis la fin des années 1970, la linguistique a profondément évolué, et des travaux portant sur l'arabe, les autres langues sémitiques et le chamito-sémitique ont grandement contribué à cette évolution. Longtemps limitée à une approche empiriciste, la sociolinguistique arabe tente dorénavant, à partir d'une réflexion sur son propre objet, de mettre en relation recherche empirique et recherche théorique dans l'étude de l'arabe parlé formel. Réalisé sous la direction de Georges Bohas, Développements récents en linguistique arabe et sémitique a pour projet d'esquisser un état des recherches en cours, dans les domaines de la phonologie, de la morphologie et de la syntaxe. Après deux chapitres généraux (« Le PCO et la structure des racines », « Diverses conceptions de la morphologie arabe »), l’ouvrage se divise en cinq articles abordant différents champs de recherche de la linguistique arabe : « Accentuation et effacements vocaliques », « Voyelles centrales, noyaux vides et statut de la longueur vocalique dans deux branches du sémitique », « Contribution à l'étude de l'arabe parlé formel », « Un témoin fossile du Kitāb de Sībawayhi » et « Une lecture énonciative du Kitāb de Sībawayhi ».

The Arabic verbal system is, for most grammarians, the keystone of the language. Notable for the regularity of its patterns, it presents the linguist with an unparalleled opportunity to explore the Saussurean notion of the indivisible sign: form and meaning. Whilst Arabic forms are well-documented, the elucidation of the corresponding meanings has proved more challenging. Beginning with an examination of the verbal morphology of Modern Standard Arabic, including an evaluation of the significance of the consonantal root, this volume then concentrates on establishing the function of the vowel-lengthening verbal patterns (III and VI). It explores issues of mutuality and reciprocity, valency and transitivity, ultimately focusing on atelic lexical aspect as the unified meaning of these patterns. This study is rich in data and relies extensively upon contemporary examples (with transliteration and translation) to illustrate its arguments, adopting an empirical structuralist approach which is aimed both at general linguists and at specialist Arabists.
