The Politics of Written Language in the Arab World' connects the fascinating field
of contemporary written Arabic with the central sociolinguistic notions of language
ideology and diglossia. 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. The 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
