It brings a new perspective to<br>the phenomenon of global English as today's lingua franca by focusing on an<br>area of the world that is troubled by the spread of English. The book goes<br>to the heart of a linguistic dilemma: the impact of global English on the<br>Arabic language, Arab culture, and identity. New empirical evidence and<br>insights into this problem are presented by a variety of researchers. The<br>majority raise concerns about the long-term viability of Modern Standard<br>Arabic in the face of global English. In light of the ever-expanding growth<br>of global English, this book gives voice to the worries of people in the<br>Arab world about maintaining their language, culture, and identity.<br><br>Contents: Ahmad Al-Issa/Laila S.
