Arabic Writing in the Digital Age (eBook, PDF)

Towards a Theoretical Framework

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The written and spoken forms of Arabic have been traditionally viewed as separate forms of the language that rarely overlap in writing, but this book will examine the recently emerged concept of 'mixed' writing that combines both written and spoken forms.

Rezensionen

"The linguistic phenomenon of Arabic code-switching and translanguaging in written Arabic has recently emerged as a powerful form of communication online. The connection between these forms of communication and the socio-political impact they have within the ongoing tumultuous transformations in the Arab world makes this study very appealing. It is true that things move and change very rapidly in the linguistic realm of cyber communication, but such is the rigorous approach on which the book is based, that I believe this would be a book that will continue to be used in years to come, also by virtue of its being an original, indeed pioneering, study that addresses the colloquial/standard variation of written Arabic."
