“…The above commercial (Fig. 4) confirms the increase of oral Moroccan dialect adoption in the media (Miller 2017(Miller , 2015(Miller , 2011(Miller , 2012, as well as on the political scene. As Messoudi (2013) has shown, the current politicians and statesmen reply to their interlocutors colloquially, leaving the standard or unified Arabic language only as the official written language of the state.…”

“…Judging from the comments that followed, some considered it as an abandonment of the Arabic language, and the defenders of dāriǧa saw it as a true sign of change. It appears that Benkirane used language as a tactic to gain more votes and supporters for his political and government program, as it can be considered a populist political revival that brings the politician at the top of the state hierarchy to al-Qaeda, that is, the people (Miller 2015).…”

This paper studies the languages and cultures that are commonly present in individual and collective practices of the Arab world, to understand the extent to which the identity and the linguistic approach in the region are affected by the historical and geographical context. It analyzes the status of Arabic and its future amid colonial languages, such as English and French, in the Arab world, specifically Morocco and Lebanon as case studies, in times of globalization and advanced technology. In a large and diversified arena, such as the Arab world, there is often a strong commitment and devotion to languages, such as Arabic, French, and English. Accordingly, this study further examines how Arabic can strengthen its practice and protect its status in an environment dominated by colonial languages. In this regard, the future of the Arabic language in the current ever-changing sociolinguistic context is subject to questioning and concerns for its official forthcoming evolution. Globalization, internet, social networks, digital technologies, and fast communication are no longer enabling linguistic authorities to provide a clear and accurate vision on the future of this language. Thus, addressing the question of languages in the future pushes researchers to consider and analyze the several linguistic strategies and policies implemented by the concerned authorities who are building and promoting an overall representation within and outside their original area.

“…Over the course of my fieldwork, this has included weekly lesson observations and support, occasional delivery of workshops and lectures on various topics linked to my research or my previous experience as a languages teacher, and attendance at events and meetings organised by student societies and language schools, as well as career fairs, policy meetings and professional training. I chose students as my initial focus as they are part of a demographic group who are regular internet and social media users, two domains which have been linked to the changing usage of English (Euromonitor International, 2012;Gonzalez-Quijano, 2012;Miller et al, 2015). In addition, I conducted fourty-six open-ended individual interviews and twenty-five open-ended group interviews with a variety of participants, including translators, recruiters, career counsellors, and employees working in national and multinational companies as well as international organisations.…”

‘Back to the “futur”’: Mobility and immobility through English in Algeria

Based on year-long ethnographic fieldwork, this paper examines how global discourses of English as the "international language" are read, reproduced and appropriated in non-Anglophone postcolonial settings, taking Algeria as a case study. English is heralded as the "language of the future", equated with "moving on" from the colonial past towards new connections, new horizons, and new articulations of a globalnational identity. It is both a movement forward, and an attempt at reaching back to a more "authentic" (non-Francophone) past. However, those narratives are also firmly embedded within existing power hierarchies and prevailing language ideologies. Discourses and practices around English reinforce rather than challenge socio-economic stratification by rewarding elite mobilities and reproducing representations of how language indexes authenticity and belonging.

In Arabic studies, corpus linguistics is still a fledgling discipline, but it is bound to become an unavoidable tool for specialists who seek to ground their research in actual language use. This article presents the preliminary results of an on-going research on Arabic applied linguistics. It offers a first approach to the possibility of matching Arabic as a language of politics with corpus-based teaching. The paper briefly introduces the concept of corpus-based teaching, its advantages and potential limits. It then reviews the most important Arabic corpora currently available for the language of politics, by also describing their extension, features, and limitations. Finally, it suggests some classroom activities based on arabiCorpus.
