Abstract:

"Arabic, Self, and Identity" uses autoethnography, autobiography, and a 
detailed study of names to investigate the links between conflict and 
displacement, and between the Self and group identity. In the process it 
raises questions about trauma and globalization, underscoring the complex 
roles of language and identity in society.

Yasir Suleiman frames his findings against a far-reaching critique of the 
dominant, correlational approach in Arabic sociolinguitics. He argues that this 
approach does not sufficiently explore the link between language and the 
major narratives of identity and conflict in the Middle East. Instead he 
advocates for combining this approach with qualitative studies that are 
nevertheless aware of the limits of interpretation and the positionality of the 
researcher. This combined endeavor, Suleiman says, can generate a richer 
understanding of the sociopolitical underpinnings of language, and help to 
bridge the gaps between the various disciplines that converge on language as 
a field of investigation and analysis.
