Rethinking Language Transfer in Writing: The Myth of Classical Arabic Transfer in English Writing
Ghada Gherwash
This book challenges the widely held belief that Arab writers' English texts are shaped by the rhetorical traditions of Classical Arabic. Through case studies of five Arab graduate students, the book shows how diglossia, uneven literacy instruction and limited engagement with written Arabic complicate assumptions about L1-to-L2 transfer.
