By Saussan Khalil 2022
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.
Primarily aimed at Arabic researchers and teachers in linguistics, sociolinguistics, identity studies, politics, and Teaching Arabic as a Foreign Language, this book would also be informative for undergraduate and postgraduate students studying Arabic as a foreign language, Arabic linguistics, and dialectology.
