The Top 1,000 Words for Understanding Media Arabicby Elisabeth Kendall
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:"An extremely useful and immediately applicable collection of contemporary vocabulary."—Roger Allen, professor of Arabic, University of Pennsylvania "This checklist of Arabic media vocabulary covers all important fields and should prove very useful to the learner."—Clive Holes, professor for the study of the contemporary Arab world, Oriental Institute, University of Oxford
Book News Annotation:Not many such academic dictionaries contain phrases like "suicide
bomber." Kendall (Arabic, U. of Edinburgh) provides a pocket guide to
the Arabic words and phrases most commonly used in the media, thereby
reducing confusion about who, for example, is "The Guardian of the
Two Holy Shrines." She organizes entries into logical and likely
categories, such as politics and elections, the military, economics,
trade and industry, law and order, and disaster and aid, making it
relatively easy to translate the jargon of the media on the spot, and
entries are arranged intuitively or as they generally appear on the
air.
