In doing so, he hopes to illuminate socio-cultural practices among those who produce and use these texts. Like other sociolinguistics projects, this manuscript unites texts with their social contexts. Fakhri also points out that legal texts have traditionally held an important place in Arabic culture and therefore provide an especially illuminating window into the broader realm of Arabic thought and culture.SociolinguisticsIslamic lawLanguageFatwasArabic languageDiscourse analysisSociolinguistics.Islamic lawLanguage.Fatwas.Arabic languageDiscourse analysis.340.5/922Fakhri Ahmed1949-1214806MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910552780903321The Affective Life of the Average Man2804965UNINA
