Arabic sociolinguistics

‘[This] book is the first of its kind in Arabic sociolinguistics. It will set the standard for the field with its rich insights, brilliant range, and copious examples that make the subject come alive. I have no doubt whatsoever that this book will quickly emerge as the primary text on any course on Arabic in the social world.’ Yasir Suleiman, Director, Centre of Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies, University of Cambridge
