The Politics of Written Language in the Arab World connects the
fascinating field of contemporary written Arabic with the central
sociolinguistic notions of language ideology and diglossia.
Focusing on Egypt and Morocco, the authors combine large-scale
survey data on language attitudes with in-depth analyses of actual
language usage and explicit (and implicit) language ideology. They
show that writing practices as well as language attitudes in Egypt
and Morocco are far more receptive to vernacular forms than has
been assumed. The individual chapters cover a wide variety of
media, from books and magazines to blogs and Tweets. A central
theme running through the contributions is the social and political
function of "doing informality" in a changing public sphere
steadily more permeated by written Arabic in a number of media.
