DESCRIPTION:Language ideology is rarely invoked in studying Ar
 abic owing to the slippery nature of this concept 
 and its historical connotations of ‘false consciou
 sness’ that is rooted in its Marxist origins. This
  perspective has restricted the kind of data that 
 can be used to link Arabic to its socio-political 
 context. It has also occluded the possibility of l
 inking language attitudes to perceptions of extern
 al danger and internal collusion that are prevalen
 t in Arabic modern discourse. Considering these pe
 rceptions as a case of language anxiety that is pr
 evalent in most cultures\, the paper will argue th
 at what seems to the Arabs to be language specific
  is in fact a universal phenomenon. More specifica
 lly\, the paper will show how book titles\, as par
 atexts\, constitute an arena for articulating Arab
 ic language ideology and Arab anxiety about Arabic
