{"product_id":"language-variation-and-change-in-clive-holes-9781138974319","title":"Language Variation and Change in a Modernising Arab State: The Case Of Bahrain","description":"First published in 1987. This is monograph 7 in the Library of Arabic Linguistics. The author gives a prime exponent of the Labovian sociolinguistic approach in the Arabic field and this present study is the culmination of years of work on the dialects of Bahrain, following his four previous articles on the subject. He takes account of variability in the language of individual speakers both in the direction of the spoken dialects and in the direction of Classical Arabic and his approach takes into account factors of nationality, religious group affiliation, and occupational class in the selection of linguistic variables and is thereby squarely in the camp of the sociolinguists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Clive Holes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138974315\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138974319\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.52d","brand":"Clive Holes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48799016157439,"sku":"9781138974319","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/language-variation-and-change-in-clive-holes-9781138974319","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
