Abstract:

The first systematic survey of the language planning and language policy
discourse of major Arabic language academies

*Surveys the language planning and language policy discourse of the five major
Arabic language academies in Syria, Egypt, Iraq, Morocco and Jorndan

*Reveals the role of LPLP in constructing and negotiating sociopolitical
meanings of language

*Examines the discourse of Arabic language academies on diglossia,
Arabi(ci)sation and language modernisation

*Presents a comparative study of script Romanisation movements in China and
the Arabic-speaking world

*Explains a mechanism of language-ideology interface in the Arabic-speaking
world

*Offers a synthesis of theories and perspectives across disciplines to study
sociopolitical dimensions of language

This book offers a critical interpretation of how the meta-linguistic LPLP
discourse of major Arabic language academies from the turn of the twentieth
century until the present day continuously ‘burden’ language with
extra-linguistic, sociopolitical meanings, making it a proxy for the
protracted courses of national identity negotiation, counter-peripheralisation
in the modern world-system and modernisation. Integrating theories of language
symbolism, language indexicality, LPLP, habitus, banal nationalism,
world-system and perspectives of Critical Discourse Analysis, the book
develops our understanding of the phenomenon and mechanism of the entanglement
between language, ideology and sociopolitical change in the Arabic-speaking
world and beyond.
