Focusing on Egypt and Morocco, the authors combine large-scale survey data on language attitudes with in-depth analyses of actual language usage and explicit (and implicit) language ideology. They show that writing practices as well as language attitudes in Egypt and Morocco are far more receptive to vernacular forms than has been assumed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe individual chapters cover a wide variety of media, from books and magazines to blogs and Tweets. A central theme running through the contributions is the social and political function of \"doing informality\" in a changing public sphere steadily more permeated by written Arabic in a number of media.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jacob Høigilt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004346163\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004346161\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/16\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.30w x 0.90d","brand":"Jacob Høigilt","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136993931519,"sku":"9789004346161","price":131.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_92886cc7-9884-46d3-91fd-47085f7315d5.jpg?v=1770165832","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-politics-of-written-language-jacob-hzuigilt-9789004346161","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
