Abstract

The use of Fuṣḥa and 'Āmiyah in the context of Islamic higher education in Egypt creates complex linguistic dynamics for Indonesian students at Al-Azhar University. This study aims to analyze the relationship among the choice of Arabic language varieties, academic demands, and students' social adaptation in a real diglossic environment. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through open-ended questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with 25 Indonesian students and subsequently analyzed using content analysis from a sociolinguistic perspective. The results show that Fuṣḥa functions not only as a formal academic medium but also as a symbol of scholarly authority and legitimacy of academic identity. At the same time,‘Āmiyah becomes the main instrument in building social relations, understanding local culture, and achieving practical communication effectiveness. The continuous interaction between the two varieties fosters adaptive communicative competence, characterized by strategic code-switching, sensitivity to social norms, and pragmatic flexibility. These findings show that Arabic diglossia functions as a productive linguistic resource rather than merely a barrier to learning. This study provides a conceptual contribution to the study of Arabic sociolinguistics. It offers pedagogical implications for the development of Arabic language learning for foreign speakers that align with sociolinguistic realities.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine the patron-client relationship in the trading practices of middlemen at the Kuta market in Pemalang. It examines how these relationships influence transaction dynamics, bargaining power, and economic dependency among micro-enterprises. This study also examines business ethics, including honesty, fairness, and responsibility in trading activities. Furthermore, it examines the role of management business education in shaping ethical practices and supporting the sustainability of micro-enterprises within traditional market settings. Methodology/approach: Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. Results: The study shows hierarchical patterns in the patron-client system that hinder micro-enterprise autonomy. Conclusions: This study reveals that patron dominance in the tengkulak business limits client autonomy and ethical fairness, highlighting the need for improved community-based training and ethical practices. Limitations: This study was limited to a specific location and community; therefore, the findings cannot yet be generalized to other traditional market contexts in Indonesia. Contributions: This study contributes to the fields of educational business management and business ethics, particularly within the informal microeconomic sector. These findings provide conceptual and empirical insights into patron-client dynamics and related ethical challenges. Furthermore, this study offers valuable references for academics, policymakers, and community development institutions to understand and address ethical issues within patron-client systems in traditional markets.
