It is these urban settings which raise questions concerning the dynamics of homogenization/differentiation and the processes of standardization due to the coexistence of competing linguistic models. Topics investigated include: - History of settlement - The linguistic impact of migration - The emergence of new urban vernaculars - Dialect convergence and divergence - Code-switching, youth language and new urban culture - Arabic in the Diaspora - Arabic among non-Arab groups.
