Are there cultural divides among Arabic speaking countries caused by the growing supremacy of the spoken over the written language? Can Arabic grammar be reformed without compromising its age old syntax, which has enriched its literature? Should a proposed reform be implemented, what legal authority would have the power of implementation and control? Must delays be foreseen in the implementation of such a program? Such are the questions for which this book's author attempts to provide answers, solutions, and justifications.
