The Rout­ledge hand­book of Ara­bic soci­olin­guis­tics
The Rout­ledge Hand­book of Ara­bic Soci­olin­guis­tics com­pris­es 22 chap­ters encom­pass­ing var­i­ous aspects in the study of Ara­bic dialects with­in their soci­olin­guis­tic con­text.
This is a nov­el vol­ume, which not only includes the tra­di­tion­al top­ics in vari­a­tion­ist soci­olin­guis­tics, but also links the soci­olin­guis­tic enter­prise to the his­to­ry of Ara­bic and to appli­ca­tions of soci­olin­guis­tics beyond the the­o­ret­i­cal treat­ment of vari­a­tion. New­ly formed trends, with an eye to future research, form the back­bone of this vol­ume.
With con­tri­bu­tions from an inter­na­tion­al pool of researchers, this vol­ume will be of inter­est to schol­ars and stu­dents of Ara­bic soci­olin­guis­tics, as well as to lin­guists inter­est­ed in a con­cise, round­ed view of the field.

„Self“ in lan­guage, cul­ture, and cog­ni­tion
This book explores socio-cul­tur­al mean­ings of ‘self’ in the Chi­nese lan­guage through analysing a range of con­ver­sa­tions among Chi­nese immi­grants to Aus­tralia qual­i­ta­tive­ly on the top­ics of indi­vid­u­al­i­ty, social rela­tion­ships and col­lec­tive iden­ti­ty. If lan­guage, cul­ture and cog­ni­tion are major roads, this book is the junc­tion that unites them by argu­ing that self­hood occurs at their inter­face. It pro­vides an inter­dis­ci­pli­nary approach to unpack man­i­fes­ta­tions and per­cep­tions of ‘self’ in the con­tem­po­rary Chi­nese dias­po­ra dis­course from the per­spec­tives of Soci­olin­guis­tics, Cog­ni­tive Lin­guis­tics and the new­ly devel­oped Cul­tur­al Lin­guis­tics. This book not only dis­cuss­es empir­i­cal and the­o­ret­i­cal issues on the con­cep­tu­al­i­sa­tion and com­mu­ni­ca­tion of social iden­ti­ty in a cross-cul­tur­al con­text, it also reveals how tra­di­tion­al and mod­ern ideas in Chi­nese cul­ture are inter­act­ing with those of oth­er world cul­tures. Con­sid­er­ing the pow­er of lan­guage, endur­ing and emerg­ing beliefs and stances that per­me­ate these speak­ers’ views on their social being and out­looks on life impart their sig­nif­i­cance in cross-cul­tur­al com­mu­ni­ca­tion and prag­mat­ics.
