In recent scholarship, the connection between Middle Arabic and Mixed
Arabic is studied in a more systematic way. The idea of studying these
two varieties in one theoretical frame is quite new, and was initiated
at the conferences of the International Association for the Study of
Middle and Mixed Arabic (AIMA). At these conferences, the members of
AIMA discuss the latest insights into the definition, terminology, and
research methods of Middle and Mixed Arabic. Results of various
discussions in this field are to be found in the present book, which
contains articles describing and analysing the linguistic features of
Muslim, Jewish and Christian Arabic texts (folklore, religious and
linguistic literature) as well as the matters of mixed language and
diglossia.

Contributors include: Berend Jan Dikken, Lutz Edzard, Jacques
Grand’Henry, Bruno Halflants, Benjamin Hary, Rachel Hasson Kenat,
Johannes den Heijer, Amr Helmy Ibrahim, Paolo La Spisa, Jérôme Lentin,
Gunvor Mejdell, Arie Schippers, Yosef Tobi, Kees de Vreugd, Manfred
Woidich, and Otto Zwartjes.
