Journal Descriptions

This is the first journal to specialize in Arabic sociolinguistics, concerned with the relation between language and society in the Arab world. Arabic is the sole or joint official and/or national language of 23 countries, and the number of native speakers of Arabic in the Arab world exceeds 300 million. The Journal of Arabic Sociolinguistics is the first journal to focus exclusively on the relation between language and society in the Arab world. The journal highlights research which applies new theories and methodologies to Arabic data, while addressing a wider audience of linguists, in order to engage them with findings from research about Arabic. The journal deals with issues pertaining to the relation between linguistic variation and identity, variation and sociolinguistic variables (including but not limited to location, social class, education, age, gender and urbanization) and variation and political contexts. Articles may also focus on code switching in the Arab world, language policy and the impact of diglossia as well as issues related to pidgin codes in the Arab world. The journal welcomes ethnographic studies and studies that relate anthropology to linguistics and sociolinguistics to education. The following topics fall within the scope of the journal: new theories that can be applied to variation identity and education political discourse language ideology & language attitudes perceptual dialectology and folk linguistics quantitative or qualitative data or mixed methods critical approaches to sociolinguistics refugees, migration, and language raciolinguistics historical linguistics, if related to society computational linguistics, if related to society corpus linguistics syntax and semantics language acquisition discourse analysis and critical discourse analysis
