Abstract:

This volume brings together empirical research in sociolinguistics that focuses on Arabic and Spanish contact across different geopolitical, sociocultural, and digital spaces. Bridging historical and modern sociolinguistic perspectives, this volume challenges the marginalization of Arabic-Spanish contact as well as Judeo-Spanish in linguistic research, shedding light on the enduring global relevance of the study of these languages and their contexts.

With contributions employing diverse methodologies – quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods approaches – this collection examines topics such as multilingualism, identity, language variation, and language ideologies and attitudes. The volume also features research regarding the contemporary sociolinguistic dynamics of Arabic and Spanish in education, familial, and religious contexts. This volume is essential for scholars of sociolinguistics, historical and contemporary linguistics, language policy and planning, and language education. Finally, the volume offers novel insights that expand the field and inspire new directions in Spanish and Arabic linguistics.
