Rooted in the Body
The American University in Cairo Press (Verlag)
978-977-416-977-9 (ISBN)
Rooted in the Body uses delightful side-by-side essays and comic illustrations to invite readers to explore Arabic’s signature morphology as they reflect on some 120 metaphorically charged body parts. On the long road to proficiency, lexical precision is important, but so, too, is cultural fluency. As it demystifies the links between morphology and semantics, Rooted in the Body also uses citations from Arabic’s rich cultural history to highlight the body’s vital role in language. This book will be a fascinating and invaluable resource, not only for advanced learners of Arabic but for linguists, rhetoricians, and philosophers of language.

Mahmoud Shaltout is a comic artist, having contributed to numerous local and international publications and exhibitions under his pen name Mac Toot.
