Dialects in Contact in Egypt by Saudi Sadiq

Dialects in Contact in Egypt by Saudi Sadiq

Arab societies have seen considerably large changes over the past 40 years, but sociolinguistic studies conducted on Arabic speech communities have almost focused on the diglossic situation, with few studies on language variation and/or change going on except in Arab capitals.

This book is a coverage of dialect contact in Egypt, a topic that is hardly studied, and, therefore, the results obtained and the discussion offered would contribute to understanding how language varies in Egypt in general and in Upper Egypt in particular, the reasons for this variation, and attitudes towards it.

The book is mainly aimed at researchers and graduate students in the fields of dialectology, sociolinguistics, language variation and change (LVC), sociology of language and anthropology. However, the review of the literature covered in the book and the directions for future studies would appeal to dialectology, sociolinguistics and LVC undergraduate students in general and those looking for topics of research to explore in postgraduate studies in particular.
