Short description:
The first systematic survey of the language planning and language policy discourse of major Arabic language academies
Long description:
This book offers a critical interpretation of how the meta-linguistic LPLP discourse of major Arabic language academies from the turn of the twentieth century until the present day continuously ?burden? language with extra-linguistic, sociopolitical meanings, making it a proxy for the protracted courses of national identity negotiation, counter-peripheralisation in the modern world-system and modernisation. Integrating theories of language symbolism, language indexicality, LPLP, habitus, banal nationalism, world-system and perspectives of Critical Discourse Analysis, the book develops our understanding of the phenomenon and mechanism of the entanglement between language, ideology and sociopolitical change in the Arabic-speaking world and beyond.
Cleverly deploying a multiplicity of approaches and perspectives, Chaoqun Lian delves into the intricacies of an important topic that ties Arabic to society through ideology and politics. The book succeeds admirably in revealing the ability of language to speak to a host of meta-linguistics concerns. It will therefore appeal to linguists and social scientists, Arabists and non-Arabists as well as to policy makers.
