ABSTRACT

Practical 8 Tutor notes This chapter has quite a lot of material in it. Although students may not have previously considered notions such as pattern repetition or lexical item repetition in Arabic, these are not intrinsically difficult to grasp, and should not be laboured. Of the two texts in § 8.2.4.1, the first, beginning ~Lb..;JU

r~~ I 4.......4-uJ rW I, is short enough for the relevant aspects to be'analysed by students as an in-class exercise without prior consideration at home. The second text, beginning ($~ I J.!' ,0 II uk" should, however, be prepared at home. -

8.1 Lexical item and other repetition

This text provides a large number of examples of different kinds of repetition discussed in this chapter. It is not difficult to understand. However, the working of the IT into a suitably formal, academic English style requires careful thought, and initial versions of the IT are likely to need significant polishing. The translation is best done individually at home.
