chapters encompassing various aspects in the study of Arabic
dialects within their sociolinguistic context. This is a novel
volume, which not only includes the traditional topics in
variationist sociolinguistics, but also links the sociolinguistic
enterprise to the history of Arabic and to applications of
sociolinguistics beyond the theoretical treatment of variation.

backbone of this volume. With contributions from an international
pool of researchers, this volume will be of interest to scholars
and students of Arabic sociolinguistics, as well as to linguists
interested in a concise, rounded view of the field.

Arabic. It introduces sociolinguistic theory, methods, and data
step-by-step, using accessible language and extensive examples

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.
