Language, Culture, and Identity in the Arab World

This anthology of critical essays explores the dynamic and changing
relationships between language, culture and identity in the Arab world. It
focuses on the Arab world as a real and an imagined community by exploring
diverse aspects of language and culture, including linguistic landscapes and
their connection to evolving identities among its speakers, its manifestation
in sociocultural contexts as well as its religious, ritualistic
manifestations. It will investigate the complex and changing interdependencies
of culture and language and their impact on established and evolving
identities in the larger Arab context, including the Arab diaspora. Focusing
on linguistic systems and landscapes, including minority languages, this
volume will explore the impact of a rapidly changing region, impacted by
demographic changes as well as digital transformations, on its language and
culture, as well as its manifestations on language in use across multiple
platforms.

Themes of focus include [but are not limited to]:

Linguistic landscapes in the Arab world
Minority languages
Language and technology
The role of Arabic in education
Arabic and its role in social media
Migrants’ languages
