'Rooted in the Body': New book on Arabic language aims to make learning vocabulary easier
SHARE Dig into the foundations of any language and you'll find quite a few words rooted in body parts. In English, for instance, the word "language" itself is a descendent of the Latin word "lingua", which means tongue, and the word "sarcasm" can be traced back to the Greek word "sarkazein", meaning “to bite the lip in rage". Interested in #Arabic language? @AUCPress offers a new book, Rooted in the Body -- "the first comic-style educational book to tackle Arabic morphology and embodiment." https://t.co/UlYLAxdKhA via @EgyptianStreets — IngramAcademic (@Ingram_Academic) November 10, 2...
