"[This] book is without any doubt an excellent piece of work that took the author a decade to complete. a worm's eye view of the "subjunctive" mood overview/review of the verb in CA." Dinha Tobiya Gorgis, The Linguist List. URL: http://linguistlist.org/issues/24/24-1459.html"This book is a welcome contribution to our understanding of Arabic linguistic thought, being a study of the (pre-)Classical Arabic subjunctive that takes into account an impressive set of primary sources.[it] contains more than its title suggests, because the exhaustive and clear treatment of grammatical topics goes beyond the manifestations of ARSBJ, to encompass the (pre-)Classical subordinators as well.The methodological and contents choices will surely make The Subjunctive Mood in Arabic Grammatical Thought a reference-work in the field of Arab linguistics.

" Francesco Grande, Quaderni di Studi Arabi vol. 7 (2012) pp. 282-284."Sadans Buch behandelt zwar nur einen Teilaspekt der arabischen Syntax, dank seiner Ausführlichkeit, seines klaren Aufbaus, seiner detaillierten Literaturhinweise in den Anmerkungen und seiner guten Indizes kann es auch als Nachschlagewerk dienen. Noch mehr aber hat man davon, werm man es vorher ganz gelesen hat." Ewald Wagner, Zeitschrift für Geschichte der Arabisch-Islamischen Wissenschaften Vol. 20-21 (2012-2014) pp. 466-468.
