The Sociolinguistic Market of Cairo

the long version

The Sociolinguistic Market of Cairo follows some of the linguistic, social and ideological implications of the co-existence of Classical and Egyptian Arabic. The Sociolinguistic Market of Cairo is a significant contribution to the growing body of data-based studies of language variation and change in the Arab world, and to developments in sociolinguistic theory. It demonstrates the relevance of language issues to some of the central concerns of social scientific writing on the Arab world.
