This study was coordinated among five scholars and explored area-study oriented research subjects with focus on the politico-social role now being played by' Contemporary Arabic' in the midst of today's information revolution and mass-communication development. Formed in the process of nation-state building and modernization in the Arab world, Contemporary Arabic has reflected tenuous links between linguistic environments and socio-political transformation. Then this study firstly dealt with relations of the two types of languages, Standard Arabic(Fusha) and Colloquial/Dialect Arabic(' Ammiyya), with social identity and social movements such as Islamic ones. The role of Arabic in the Arab revolution since 2011was also examined according to situations. After these researches, the data base for Arabic dictionary as a tool for our' Contemporary Arabic' project has been improved in addition.
