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. 606 $aSociolinguistics 606 $aIslamic law$xLanguage 606 $aFatwas 606 $aArabic language$xDiscourse analysis 615 0$aSociolinguistics. 615 0$aIslamic law$xLanguage. 615 0$aFatwas. 615 0$aArabic language$xDiscourse analysis. 676 $a340.5/922 700 $aFakhri$b Ahmed$f1949-$01214806 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910552780903321 996 $aThe Affective Life of the Average Man$92804965 997 $aUNINA
