In Modern Arabic, Clive Holes suceeds in detailing present-day Arabic in all of its variety. Yet, in drawing conclusions regarding several important points, he fails to consider fully and objectively some of the data he himself presents in the study, due partly to his uncritical acceptance of certain widely-held but often unexpressed notions about Arabic. This-together with occasional lapses in the data itself-ultimately undermines the premise of the work, which is to represent variation in Arabic in a dynamic, fluid fashion
