Dr Anissa Daoudi obtained her PhD in Linguistics from the University of Leeds, after which she held an ESRC Postdoctoral Fellowship for three years at the University of Durham. The project was entitled ‘Globalisation and its impact on Arabic (Modern Standard Arabic and dialects)’, and was an interdisciplinary project analysing the linguistic changes that happened to Arabic as a result of the ‘Internet Revolution’, using an Internet based corpus, developing into deeper analyses of the cyberspace and the relationship between language and the various discourses that emerged prior, during and post Arab Revolutions.
Her publications include the monographs e-Arabic and gender discourses in the MENA region: Tunisia as a case Study (in preparation, 2014) and Cultural encounters: a linguistic study of EFL Arab learners encoding and decoding idioms (Peter Lang, 2011). She has also edited volumes on e-Arabic and Cyberspace: the Marginalized Voices in the MENA region (Cambridge Scholars Press, 2013);Framing New Communicative Technologies in the Arab World (Intellect Publishers, 2011); and La Langue Arabe face au Défis Technologiques(Temimi Foundation Publication, 2011).
