It analyzes the different forms<br>of lexical variation, and the causes for these variations. This starting<br>point led to many other vital issues related to the present state of the<br>Arabic Language such as language planning, native speakers' identity and<br>fears and most importantly the relationship between the different Arabic<br>varieties: Classical, Modern Standard, and dialects. The book analyzes<br>lexical variation comprehensively and provides deep insights on the present<br>state of the language with some speculations on its future. <br><br><br><br>Linguistic Field(s): Lexicography<br> Sociolinguistics<br><br>Subject Language(s): Arabic, Standard (arb)<br><br><div>--------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>End of Arabic-L: 20 Jan 2011</div></body></html>
