Karakterizo de la lingvaĵo de Iftah yā Simsim: Socilingvistikaj kaj edukaj implicoj por la araba La artikolo traktas la lingvaĵon de Iftah yā Simsim, la arablingva adapto de Sesame Street. La diskuto fokusiĝas je tri ĉefaj punktoj: (1) elekto de lielnomata "simpligita" norma araba kiel lingvo de la serio, (2) difino de tiu lingva varianto laǔ ĝiaj Hngvaj karaktcrizoj, kaj (3) implicoj de tiu elekto por la estonteco de la araba kaj por arablingva instruado.
