Annotation

Analysis of Jordanian Arabic spoken by students at Yarmouk University. S. investigates the extent to which spoken Jordanian is affected by the classical/colloquial dichotomy (i.e. diglossia), and the influence of English as a medium of instruction, in some departements of Yarmouk University, on the linguistic repertoire of Yarmouk students vs. students of other Arab universities, where the medium of instruction is basically Arabic.
