Modern Standard Arabic Grammar
Modern Standard Arabic Grammar is a comprehensive reference and instructional work that presents the fundamental structures and grammatical principles of Arabic to Albanian-speaking readers. Developed primarily for university students and aligned with academic curricula, the two-volume publication also serves lecturers, translators, researchers, and others engaged in the study, teaching, and practical use of Arabic.
The work encompasses the Arabic writing system and phonetics, word formation, parts of speech, verbal morphology, and syntactic structures. Its approach brings together the classical Arabic grammatical tradition and explanations adapted to Albanian-speaking learners, connecting linguistic principles with practical examples and comparisons with Albanian. Arabic words and illustrative examples are fully vocalised and accompanied by Albanian translations or equivalents, facilitating reading and grammatical comprehension.
Particular attention is devoted to Arabic morphology and word formation, which provide a foundation for understanding relationships between words and the organisation of Arabic vocabulary. By explaining consonantal roots and morphological patterns, the work enables readers to recognise derived forms, interpret their meanings, and navigate Arabic dictionaries more effectively.
The Arabic verbal system is examined in detail and illustrated through conjugation tables, while syntax is approached in close relation to morphology and the grammatical functions of words within sentences. Albanian grammatical terminology is presented alongside its Arabic counterparts, establishing a useful framework for consulting grammatical literature in the original language.
Throughout the publication, theoretical explanations are supported by numerous examples, many reflecting linguistic usage in contemporary Arabic literature. By integrating grammatical theory, practical illustration, and cross-linguistic comparison, Modern Standard Arabic Grammar supports the systematic study of Modern Standard Arabic and provides a reference resource for language learning, university instruction, and translation.
The Launch of Modern Standard Arabic Grammar at the University of Prishtina
Modern Standard Arabic Grammar was formally presented on 23 December 2025 at the Faculty of Philology, University of Prishtina. Published by the university, the work was discussed by Prof. Abdulla Rexhepi and Prof. Ziber Lata, who highlighted its contribution to Arabic language education and its relevance to Albanian-speaking students.
The presentation brought together academic staff, students, and colleagues, marking the publication of a new scholarly resource developed from Prof. Dr. Isa Memishi's extensive experience in teaching Arabic.
