The first introduction to the field of Arabic sociolinguistics, this book discusses major trends in research on diglossia, code-switching, gendered discourse, language variation and change, and language policies in relation to Arabic. In doing so, it introduces and evaluates the various theoretical approaches, and illustrates the usefulness and the limitations of these approaches with empirical data. The book shows how sociolinguistic theories can be applied to Arabic and, conversely, what the study of Arabic can contribute to our understanding of the function of language in society.Less

The concluding chapter considers how the concepts developed throughout the book can contribute to the emerging field of complex sociolinguistics in general, and leadership talk in particular. These concepts included interdiscursive hub, mass-mediated chronotopic identity, scalar reflexivity, acts of belonging, and signswitching. All were developed to address issues around the believability of our accounts of language in social life. In doing so, it points to how the concepts and methodologies developed in the book can also contribute to discussions of leadership in Java which to date have not provided any empirical evidence of how leadership is enacted through everyday talk.Less
