<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium; white-space: normal; ">Full Title: Languages and Linguistics<br><br>Linguistic Field(s): Arabic, Standard;Sociolinguistics<br><br>Call Deadline: 31-Dec-2009<br><br>Call for Papers for the next issue of the international journal of<br>Languages and Linguistics on the theme: Language Policy in the Arab World<br><br>The symbolic significance of language can help explain why standard Arabic,<br>which is not a spoken language anywhere in the Arab world, has survived<br>amidst colonization, modern technology, and globalization. Yet the path of<br>standard Arabic was not always smooth and the differences among different<br>Arab countries in their attitudes towards it are as different as the<br>history and environment of each country.<br><br>Thus, to study language policies in the Arab world one has to look at the<br>political situation and at the sociolinguistic map in every country. This<br>issue of Languages and Linguistics will examine three main topics. First,<br>it will study different language policies in the Arab world, implemented<br>ones or even unimplemented ones. Second, it will discuss the domain of the<br>study of language policy and the factors that govern and influence<br>different policies. Third, the issue will examine case studies of Maghreb<br>and Middle Eastern countries and compare and contrast their experiences<br>with language policies. The role of ethnicity, religion, media, and<br>academies in the Arab world will also be tackled.<br><br>Articles may be in English, French, or Arabic<br><br>Scholars who are interested in contributing are requested to send their<br>abstract before the end of December 2009, and the whole article by the end<br>of March 2010. Please send your abstract to Professor Moha Ennaji:<br><a href="mailto:mennaji2002@yahoo.fr">mennaji2002@yahoo.fr</a><br><br>For more information about the international journal of 'Languages and<br>Linguistics', please consult our website:<br><a href="http://www.lang-ling.on.ma/">http://www.lang-ling.on.ma</a><br></span>
