FACEBOOK WRITTEN LEVANTINE VERNACULAR LANGUAGES

Dua'a Abu Elhij'a

Abstract

Over the last fifteen years, in every Arabic-speaking country, young
Arabic speakers have begun to write their spoken language in
electronic media, such as Facebook, MSN Messenger, and so on.  The new
way of writing in social media is a radical deviation from the
traditional norm of writing the classical language—as well as what is
commonly referred to as Modern Standard Arabic.  This study is
presenting this phenomenon in the Levant— Jordan, Lebanon, and
Israel/Palestine.
