Abstract:

This volume is the first of its kind to deal with a variety of topics by leading 
scholars related to the use of Arabic in the media. The contributors examine 
patterns of language use in traditional as well as 'new' media types, in order to 
further our understanding of the mechanism at work in the development of 
modern Arabic, both in its standard and colloquial varieties. 

The first part of this volume is devoted to a close analysis of various aspects of 
media Arabic (code-switching, language variation, orthography and constructions 
of identity); the second part builds on the first, as it asks, to what extent does 
the Arabic used in the media reflect social and linguistic realities of Arabic 
speaking audiences ('clichéd' dialects, code-switching and socialects)? How can 
our knowledge of the linguistic reality of the media in the Arab world contribute to 
teaching the media to foreign students learning Arabic?
