This book is aimed at contributing to facilitate the standardisation of Amazigh at a time when the teaching of the language has become a reality.

Introduction to Modern Linguistics
This textbook aims to answer the needs of our undergraduate students (mainly second, third and fourth year students) who speak Arabic, sometimes Berber, French and/or Spanish in addition to English, the target language. Five languages are used for illustration: English, French, Standard Arabic, Moroccan Arabic and Berber. The variety of English that is illustrated from is Standard British English, often referred to as the "BBC English" or the "Queen's English", and the sound pattern of Received Pronunciation (RP), which is a standard British English accent, is described.

Applications of Modern Linguistics
The book, which includes 350 pages, is presented by the eminent American sociolinguist, Joshua Fishman of the University of Stanford, California, who outlines the significant contributions of this book to general linguistics.

There are three potential audiences for this textbook. First, undergraduate and graduate students can benefit from the material presented in this book. Second, language teachers, especially English language teachers, may use it to update their knowledge of the different branches of linguistics. Third, researchers and interdisciplinary readers may find the chapters of this textbook relevant to their research interests.

Berber Sociolinguistics
The present issue on Berber Sociolinguistics consists of a collection of articles by academics who have common research interests in the sociology of language in general and in the sociolinguistics of Berber in particular.

The aim of the present collection is twofold: (i) to offer university-level audiences a comprehensive and comprehensible overview on Berber language and sociolinguistic behaviour, and (ii) to familiarize the reader with the recent developments in language planning and attitudes toward Berber.

Sociolinguistics in Morocco
The present work encompasses some major contributions to sociolinguistics in Morocco, a topic that is of considerable interest to students and academics in the areas of linguistics, stylistics, anthropology, sociology, psychology and education, as well as to policy makers.

Sociolinguistics of the Maghreb
The subjects dealt with in this issue reflect faithfully the sociolinguistic changes that postcolonial Maghreb has undergone as a result of the effects of such important factors as the spread of education, Arabization, language diversity and modernity. There is no article on Mauritania and Libya simply because I could not get any response from the sociolinguists of these countries.
