The International Journal of Arabic Linguistics (IJAL) (ISSN: 2421-9835) is an
online open access peer-reviewed journal that aims at providing a platform for
researchers working on the Arabic language to disseminate their most recent
work. We welcome papers on the linguistic structure of Arabic as well as its
history and its functions in society. The journal welcomes in particular
studies in dialectology, sociolinguistics, historical linguistics, and other
areas in which the focus is more on data than on theory. In other words, the
journal does not adhere to any particular linguistic theory but rather
encourages research on new data that can give rise to new issues, or works
that provide new approaches to old ones.

In addition to research papers, the journal also publishes book reviews. These
are intended primarily for readers of Arabic who cannot read works published
in other languages. We have noticed that many influential studies by non-Arab
scholars are not very well-known among native students of Arabic linguistics.
Therefore, review articles are required to be written in the Arabic language.

The International Journal of Arabic Linguistics (IJAL) welcomes serious and
scholarly works on the Arabic language. For its first issues, the editors
encourage in particular papers that provide the state of the art in various
aspects of Arabic linguistics: sociolinguistics, dialectology, historical
linguistics, language contact, and other areas. The papers should also raise
issues for further research so that new generations of our readers and
researchers can follow and, hopefully, contribute to the ongoing debate
concerning the various phenomena that previous generations have been dealing
with and their approaches to them. Among the issues that contributors can
tackle, the following are suggested, but they are by no means the only ones:

- The mixing of standard and colloquial elements in discourse (i.e. the
so-called 'Mixed Arabic'), its grammar and its social functions
- The Pidginization Hypothesis and the emergence of modern Arabic dialects
- Dialect contact and its linguistic and social consequences
- Contact between Arabic and other languages
- The history and development of Classical Arabic, its place among other
Semitic languages
- The standardization of the 'Arabiyya, the socio-political and the religious
factors that stood behind it

Researchers should consult the Authors' Guide for the requirements on the
format of the article. Papers should be emailed to:
