Clive Holes was Professor for the Study of the Contemporary Arab
World at the University of Oxford until 2014, and is now Emeritus
Professorial Fellow at Magdalen College. Prior to coming to Oxford
he held positions at the University of Salford and University of
Cambridge. He has written extensively on the Arabic language, its
dialectology, and sociolinguistics, including Dialect, Culture, and
Society in Eastern Arabia (three volumes; Brill, 2001-2016),
and Modern Arabic: Structures, Functions, and Varieties (Longman,
1995; revised edition Georgetown University Press, 2004).
This book is highly welcomed... It will certainly become a key
reference tool... I highly recommended it to students and linguists
interested in the history of Arabic.
