The Reality of the Arabic Language in the Era of Globalization and Westernization

Abstract

This research paper examines the current status of the Arabic language in the face of significant technological advancements. Despite encountering various challenges from both external adversaries and its own speakers, the Arabic language has demonstrated remarkable resilience, preserving its integrity even during the darkest periods of decay and colonization. Historically, attacks on the Arabic language have been marked by ideological and cultural dimensions, employing psychological and social doctrines to link setbacks in cultural, intellectual, and societal development with the Arabic language. What is particularly concerning is the infiltration of linguistic intrusion, deeply rooted in the new generations through auditory and visual media. This exacerbates the challenges faced by the Arabic language, introducing foreign words and expressions. Hence, it is imperative for the nation to cultivate and possess sufficient resilience to bear witness to its civilization and societal achievements. This necessitates selfconstruction through the acquisition of sciences, knowledge, experiences, pathways, and qualities. Additionally, it calls for the innovation of means and tools for communication with all its components.
