This book provides an introduction to the field of Arabic sociolinguistics by presenting an overview of such major topics as diglossia, and dialect groups, code-switching, language variation and change, gender, and language policy and politics. Written for students and scholars of the Arabic language and linguistics and general sociolinguistics, Bassiouney explains various theoretical approaches and illustrates the usefulness and limitations of these approaches to Arabic using empirical data. She shows how sociolinguistic theories can be applied to Arabic and conversely, what the study of Arabic can contribute to our understanding of the functions of language in society.

Reem Bassiouney is an assistant professor of Arabic linguistics at Georgetown University. She is the author of The Functions of Code-Switching in Egypt as well as numerous scholarly articles and three novels.
