Abstract:

Written by four leading experts, this book provides a comprehensive overview
of sociolinguistic variation and linguistic change in Arabic. It introduces
sociolinguistic theory, methods, and data step-by-step, using accessible
language and extensive examples throughout. Topics covered include
sociolinguistic methodology, social variables, language change, spatial
variation, and contact and diffusion. Each topic is explained and illustrated
using empirical data drawn from a wide array of Arabic-speaking communities in
the Middle East and North Africa, as well as other parts of the world where
Arabic is or was spoken, to provide a rich resource of individual dialects, as
well as a comparative view of variation in Arabic.  Each chapter also contains
annotated suggestions for further reading and elaborate exercises. It is an
essential resource for students studying Arabic in its social context, as well
as anyone wishing to expand their knowledge of variation in Arabic.
