Abstract:

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.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax
return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site,
or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a
simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to
LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
