“…The colloquial one includes three central subdialects: the urban, rural, and bedouin. The urban is a combination of main urban cities in the Levant, such as Jerusalem, Hebron, Damascus, and Beirut (Miller, 2005). The rural can be divided into two varieties: the rural Palestinian and the Horani dialect (Al- Khatib, 1988).…”

“…However, it is similar to the rural dialect found in the villages and towns to the south of Hims city, which are the focus of the current study, and this explains why these two varieties are grouped under one label in this paper. The third variety, namely SV, is the official language of the State, which is used mainly in formal contexts and in reading and writing (Albirini 2011;Habib 2010;Miller 2005).…”

While the dynamics of dialectal codeswitching in the Arabic-speaking context has been the center of much discussion and research, only a few studies have examined the role of socio-pragmatic factors in the code choices of Arabic speakers in everyday interactions. Using Bourdieu's (1977) social capital theory as a general framework, this study examines the role of pragmatic and capitalrelated factors in codeswitching in an understudied Arabic-speaking group, namely Al-'Keidaat Bedouins in Syria. Audio-recorded data was col lected from two Bedouin wedding parties and 37 interactions involving Bed ouins in the workplace. The data analysis indicates that Bedouin speakers use their multi-dialectal package mainly to manage their self-representation in relation to other speakers, enhance their ability to access different forms of social capital, and maximize their benefit from social interactions with different speakers. Based on the findings, I argue that the speakers' use of their linguistic repertoires is more sociopragmatically driven than based on the often-invoked prestige of specific language varieties. Finally, while it uses Bourdieu's social capital theory as a general framework, the study seeks to expand this theory by reconceptualizing power as a multi-dimensional top-down, bottom-up process of defining social structures and relationships.

“…Many sociolinguists investigated variation in urban and suburban centers and in the speech of rural migrants to urban centers (e.g. Amara 2005; Gal 1978;Habib 2005Habib , 2008Habib , 2010aHabib , 2010bHabib , 2010cHabib , 2010dHabib , 2011aHabib , 2011bHachimi 2007;Kerswill 1993;Miller 2005). Very few studies dealt with language variation in a rural setting (Hazen 2002;Ornaghi 2010;Walters 1989Walters , 1992.…”

Investigating the spread of the urban feature the glottal stop [ʔ] in place of the rural voiceless uvular stop [q] in the speech of rural children and adolescents in the Syrian village, Oyoun Al-Wadi, a bidirectional linguistic change is observed. Girls retain their mothers' urban feature in preadolescence and adolescence; boys who initially acquire the urban feature start switching to the rural feature around age eight and increase their use of this feature with age. Thus, the observed variation and changes are genderand age-related and result from different meanings associated with urban and rural sounds.Preadolescence emerges as the period in which kids are emotionally involved in building a social identity, indicating early development of sociolinguistic competence.
