- More about Language, Ideology and Sociopolitical Change in the Arabic-Speaking World
This book explores the entanglement between language, ideology, and sociopolitical change in the Arabic-speaking world, highlighting the role of meta-linguistic discourse in burdening language with extra-linguistic meanings. It integrates theories of language symbolism, indexicality, LPLP, habitus, banal nationalism, world-system, and Critical Discourse Analysis to develop our understanding of this phenomenon.
Format: Hardback
Length: 288 pages

Publisher: Edinburgh University Press
This book presents a critical analysis of how the meta-linguistic discourse of major Arabic language academies from the turn of the twentieth century to the present day has persistently burdened language with extralinguistic and sociopolitical meanings, effectively transforming it into a proxy for the complex processes of national identity negotiation, counter-peripheralization within the modern world-system, and modernization. By integrating theories of language symbolism, language indexicality, LPLP, habitus, banal nationalism, world-system, and perspectives from Critical Discourse Analysis, the book contributes to our understanding of the intricate relationship between language, ideology, and sociopolitical change in the Arabic-speaking world and beyond.
