| As linguistic systems comprising a large variety of written and oral registers
including derivate ¿languages¿ and ¿dialects,¿ Latin and Arabic have been of
paramount importance for the history of the Euromediterranean since Antiquity.
Moreover, due to their long-term function as languages of administration,
intellectual activity, and religion, they are often regarded as cultural markers of
Europe and the (Arabic-)Islamic sphere respectively. This volume explores the many
dimensions and ramifications of Latin-Arabic entanglement both from macro-historical
as well as from micro-historical perspectives. Visions of history marked by the
binary opposition of ¿Islam¿ and ¿the West¿ tend to ignore these important facets of
Euromediterranean entanglement, as do historical studies that explain complex
transcultural processes without giving attention to their linguistic
dimension. |
