Introduction
This special issue of Toronto Working Papers in Linguistics (TWPL), “Critical perspectives and new trends in Arabic sociolinguistics,” features research presented at the international workshop Arabic Sociolinguistics: New Trends and Perspectives, held virtually at the University of Toronto on November 23, 2024. The workshop brought together junior and senior scholars in Arabic sociolinguistics to foster transnational and cross-generational dialog…
Stylizing Tamazight (Berber)-Influenced Moroccan Arabic in a Moroccan Stand-Up Comedy
Elaborating on the concept of heteroglossic stylization, this paper examines how a Moroccan comedian-Zakaria Ouarssam-stylizes Tamazight (Berber)-influenced Moroccan Arabic (MA) in order to evoke comedic personae associated with the country's Middle Atlas region. Our analysis focuses on Ouarssam's on-stage performances to document the complex multilingual repertoire that allows him to (i) create contrasts between a supposedly unmarked MA and a st…
In the Middle East, it's cool to 'Sing Moroccan
Against the background of the marginalization of North African in relation to Middle Eastern Arabic vernaculars, this paper considers the ways in which popular music has propelled the commodification of Moroccan Arabic and made it a site of deep contestation. It centers on a controversial love song written and performed in Moroccan Arabic by Middle Eastern musicians, specifically their use of sātˁa, a derogatory youth slang term for "girl." Drawi…
Contextualizing the rise of vernacular Arabic in globalized North Africa

The Effects of Age and Gender on the Perceptions of Linguistic Variation in the Qassimi Arabic Dialect
This article examines the effects of age and gender on perceptions that speakers of Qassimi Arabic, a variety of Najdi Arabic spoken in central Saudi Arabia, have of the placement and extent of dialect areas marked on hand-drawn maps representing variation within their own dialect. Analysis of composite maps of respondents' perceptions using a GIS mapping program (ArcGIS) reveals that both age and gender have an effect on respondents' perceptions…
Arabic Dialect Contact and Change in Casablanca
The sociolinguistic outcomes of migration in Morocco's largest city, Casablanca, are examined through analysis of the adoption of the second person gender-marking norms of Casablanca Arabic by three groups whose heritage varieties have a corresponding merger or distinction of gender. Ethnographic interviews and interactions with multigenerational families show that convergence to the dominant Casablanca norm is not uniform across the three differ…
The Maghreb-Mashreq language ideology and the politics of identity in a globalized Arab world1
To date, most scholarship on Arabic language ideologies has focused on the contentious relationship between Standard Arabic and the spoken vernaculars. This paper, in contrast, draws attention to the hierarchies among theregionalvarieties of vernacular Arabic. Specifically, it makes visible the workings of what it calls the 'Maghreb-Mashreq language ideology': the hierarchical relationship between Mashreqi (Middle Eastern) and Maghrebi (North Afr…
Talking class, talking race
Against a backdrop of declining manufacturing employment, this article uses a study of the call center industry to argue that English language proficiency is central to new service jobs in post-apartheid South Africa. Drawing on research in Durban, we in this study show that access to call center work—especially the highest paid niches—is heavily mediated by English language skills generally attainable only at the most elite high schools. In doin…
The urban and the urbane
The migration of old-urban elites to new-urban areas has been given scant attention in the sociolinguistics of mobility. This article examines language ideologies of differentiation that emerged from the migration of Morocco's bona fide old-urban elite from the city of Fez (the Fessis) to the new metropolis of Casablanca. This understudied sociolinguistic encounter brings into sharp focus two quintessential old-urban and new-urban varieties of Ar…
Réinterprétation sociale d'un vieux parler citadin maghrébin à Casablanca
Cet article s'intéresse aux pratiques et représentations d'un vieux parler arabe citadin de la ville de Fès (le fassi) à Casablanca. Depuis des siècles, le fassi s'est imposé comme parler prestigieux désignant une identité citadine et aristocrate. Je m'interrogerai dans cet article sur les façons dont se traduisent ces anciennes valeurs sociolinguistiques et différentielles suite à l'immigration et au contact avec « l'autre » dans la société casa…
