Subject:Needs Mustawiyaat in English

A ME history professor here has been asked to teach an Introduction to
the Study of the Middle East class in which he will cover historical,
political science, anthropological, sociological, linguistic, and
humanities oriented approaches to the study of the Middle East.  He is
trying to get 'seminal' but comprehensible articles in each field that
would give students a feel for what kinds of questions are asked in that
approach, and what kinds of data are used to get answers to those
questions.  For the linguistic secton, he would like to have at least
part of the Said Badawi work which I believe is called mustawiyaat
al-'arabiyya al-mu'aaSira fi miSr, in which Badawi lays out his model of
five levels for Arabic in Egypt.  However, these students don't read
Arabic.  Does anyone know if there is an English version of this piece
or of a part of it or a summary of it?  If there isn't, does anyone know
of another piece that either summarizes the ideas, or lays out similar
ideas?  Any help would be appreciated.
