language accomodation in arabic

drafts

  • diglossia is common in arabic
  • oftentimes you can just say a vague word with the same root and speakers understand it
  • is spoken arabic build in more variance within the grammar? location of question words for masri, colloqialisms for different dialects, loan words
  • what about language accomodation? are speakers just less willing to accomodate because they expect others to adapt?
