Edited by Ahmad Al-Issa, Laila S. Dahan
Part of the Contemporary Studies in Descriptive Linguistics series
Description
This volume contains selected chapters from researchers and scholars concerning global English in the Arab world.
It brings a new perspective to the phenomenon of global English as today's lingua franca by focusing on an area of the world that is troubled by the spread of English.
The book goes to the heart of a linguistic dilemma: the impact of global English on the Arabic language, Arab culture, and identity.
New empirical evidence and insights into this problem are presented by a variety of researchers.
The majority raise concerns about the long-term viability of Modern Standard Arabic in the face of global English.
In light of the ever-expanding growth of global English, this book gives voice to the worries of people in the Arab world about maintaining their language, culture, and identity.
