The Georgetown Guide to Arabic-English Translation presents a sterling example of the principle of research informing teaching, as the author has conducted a great many provocative theoretical studies into the grammar of Arabic, and the sections about translating tense and negation are made all the richer by the author's full understanding of the linguistic matters involved. This is the textbook that I wish I had had when I was teaching Arabic/English translation. --David Wilmsen, Professor of Arabic, Department of Arabic and Near Eastern Languages, American University of Beirut This book is a much-needed resource for students of Arabic-English translation. Adopting a linguistic perspective, it breaks down the process of translation in a clear and logical manner, starting from word level up to the wider context of sentences. With extensive, well-chosen examples and exercises and a scope of discussion and analysis that is adaptable to different levels, students and teachers alike will appreciate having this rich resource at hand. --Mai Zaki, Assistant Professor, CAS, Department of Arabic and Translation Studies, American University of Sharjah
