If you of other titles on Arabic-English Contrastive Studies (AECS), kindly send such titles with full bibliographical details to: ijaes2000@yahoo.com.

The writer would like to thank the following colleagues for providing AECS titles that were not included in an earlier draft of this bibliography: Nayef Kharma, Saleh Al-Salman, Murtadha Bakir, Aziz Khalil, Rajai Al-Khanji, Shedeheh Fareh and Jihad Hamdan.

This Bibliography does not include interlanguage studies or studies on error analysis. Readers may notice; however, that few titles in the Bibliography below belong to interlanguage studies or translation studies more than to CA.  Such studies, though not exclusively devoted to CA,   do have a substantial CA component.

The abbreviation A-S and similar combinations stand for Arabic names that consist of two parts (e.g. Abu-Sa’ad, where the first part means father of).

The prefixes al- / el- /   (equal to the definite article the) typically precede Arabic family names. In fact, most Arabic family names are invariably used with/without such prefixes. In certain contexts the al- is (due to assimilation) pronounced as:  as- / es-   OR ar- / er- OR at- / et-   . There is no agreement as to whether such prefixes should count in arranging surnames alphabetically. In this Bibliography these prefixes are disregarded for purposes of alphabetical ordering. The suffix will be enclosed in parentheses and placed immediately after the surname. For example, the name Saleh Al-Salman will be listed under S in the following manner: Salman (al-), Saleh (1980)…….. .

The bibliographic information of some titles is incomplete, particularly the number of pages. This is particularly true in the case of some local journals, not accessible to the writer.
