The second edition of Arabic Sociolinguistics offers an extended
commentary on the important findings of new critical approaches to
language and society in Arab-speaking countries. Following a recent
wave of political upheavals in the Middle East, the book engages
with latest academic works that relate language to power and
conflict in the Arab world. In addition to thoroughly updated
accounts of diglossia, code-switching, gender, language policy and
language variation in the region, Reem Bassiouney discusses the
most important recent development in the field - critical
sociolinguistics - in a new dedicated chapter that challenges the
tendency of applying Western linguistic methods and terms to
superdiverse communities. By covering the key developments of
linguistic theories and contexts with up-to-date examples to help
explain the phenomena under discussion, this is the most
comprehensive book on Arabic sociolinguistics today.
