Neuware - Filling a gap in the literature currently available on the topic, this edited collection is the first examination of the interplay between urbanization, language variation and language change in fifteen major Arab cities.

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.
