Reviews

'The serious research invested allows us to hope that Arabic sociolinguistics will soon cease to be a neglected step-brother of general sociolinguistics. It is to the credit of the editor, Yasir Suleman, that he has brought together these scholars and published their contributions.' - Jacob M. Landau, International Journal of the Sociology of Language
