A delightful book!, August 13, 2010

This is a delightful book that takes up the intricacies of Sufi poetry and translates them by producing a modern work. Coleman understands Rumi and has been able to interpret his emotions and thoughts in a wonderful manner. Many kudos to him.

A very beautiful and useful book!!, August 13, 2010

This is a very beautiful and useful book that will fascinate many readers who are interested in getting an in-depth study of the various aspects of Arabic phonology. The different changes that can affect a word are discussed and analyzed in detail. The readers will be satisfied with the rich data, the advanced theories and the references to important linguistic works. Furthermore, the numbered paragraphs and numerous indexes offer a great structure to the work and are of great help for finding quickly the topics of interest.

An excellent study!, May 18, 2010

This is an excellent study about the changes that occur in the words which have a hamza or a weak letter in their structures. The theories and rules are withdrawn from the classical Arabic linguistic tradition and presented with rich examples and references to ancient and modern linguists. The index and numbered paragraphs facilitate cross references and the references stimulate for further research.
Highly recommendable!
