Abstract:

This volume contains selected chapters from researchers and scholars
concerning global English in the Arab world. It brings a new perspective to
the phenomenon of global English as today's lingua franca by focusing on an
area of the world that is troubled by the spread of English. The book goes
to the heart of a linguistic dilemma: the impact of global English on the
Arabic language, Arab culture, and identity. New empirical evidence and
insights into this problem are presented by a variety of researchers. The
majority raise concerns about the long-term viability of Modern Standard
Arabic in the face of global English. In light of the ever-expanding growth
of global English, this book gives voice to the worries of people in the
Arab world about maintaining their language, culture, and identity.
