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.
