Abstract

98 Book Reviews here is that, although they came in very limited numbers, the Arabs managed to maintain the integrity of their language through the establishment of garrison towns where they were a (local) majority (pp. 160–1). Chapter five (pp. 175–222) is a lengthy theoretical description of the use of Foreigner Talk in informal second language acquisition. Chapter six (pp. 223– 45) is a brief description of Foreigner Talk in modern Arabic dialects, based on data collected by Adel Tweissi (“‘Foreigner Talk’ in Arabic: Evidence for the Universality of Language Simplification”,in Perspectives on Arabic Linguistics, ed. Mushira Eid and John McCarthy [Current Issues in Linguistic Theory, volume LXXII] (Amsterdam: John Benjamins, 1990), pp. 296–326) and by the author concerning Cairene Arabic. The rationale behind the risky comparison with post-conquest vernaculars is formulated as follows by the author: “If the socio-demographic conditions of the early Arab conquests were conducive to the use of FT, and if the FT targets and their strategies in the case of modern Arabic are similar to those used in the early days of the conquests, dialects must not be far removed from the pre-Islamic Arabic, as represented by Quranic Arabic and the features of pre-Islamic
