Abstract:

Reflects on the latest trends in the study of Arabic sociolinguistic.

New to this edition:

*A new chapter on Arabic critical sociolinguistics: the critical analysis of
the field of sociolinguistics itself and its scholarly practices

*Explains new theories such as language as a social construct, the relation
between language and identity, stance, indexicality and translanguaging, with
examples from areas not covered in the first edition

*Discusses the political changes in the Arab world since 2011 and their impact
on language

*Considers the role of new media in modifying theories and providing different
kind of data for sociolinguists

The second edition of Arabic Sociolinguistics offers an extended commentary on
the important findings of new critical approaches to language and society in
Arab-speaking countries. Following a recent wave of political upheavals in the
Middle East, the book engages with latest academic works that relate language
to power and conflict in the Arab world.

In addition to thoroughly updated accounts of diglossia, code-switching,
gender, language policy and language variation in the region, Reem Bassiouney
discusses the most important recent development in the field – critical
sociolinguistics – in a new dedicated chapter that challenges the tendency of
applying Western linguistic methods and terms to superdiverse communities.

By covering the key developments of linguistic theories and contexts with
up-to-date examples to help explain the phenomena under discussion, this is
the most comprehensive book on Arabic sociolinguistics today.

Please note that Arabic Sociolinguistics is co-published by Georgetown
University Press in the USA. If you in this area and are looking to buy a
