STRATIFICATION OF THE ARABIC LANGUAGE

Abstract

Language accompanies people in time and space, but also in all their social environments and professional activities, which affects the language and leads to its stratification based on all these grounds, since various environments impose different language varieties we use to communicate. The extent to which a language is stratified is conditioned by the extent to which the society using the language is compact and homogeneous in territorial and social terms. As the Arabic language has covered a huge geographic space, its stratification has been present since it can be traced, but it was further intensified with the expansion of the Arab-Islamic country and later the colonial conquests resulting in political differentiation and the creation of a larger number of independent, and in some cases also, mutually warring Arab countries.
