Subject: Levels of Arabic refs

A critical account of most of the work on levels of Arabic, including
Badawi's is found in Jean-Michel Tarrie's doctoral thesis from
University of Paris 8 ( 1993). It's
a valuable piece of work ( I was on the defence committee then), but it
is written in
French. The work  is also data-based and deals with middle Arabic as
used on Syrian TV by educated speakers.
Another interesting work on the classification and analysis of  levels
of Arabic as taped from Tunisian TV is found in the doctoral thesis of
Ammar Medfai , University of Lyon 2, 1999 also written in French. This
work is very interesting from a socio-pragmatic perspective
