This paper brings together in a single frame of discussion different aspects of language status which in turn influence its acquisition. Our case-Arabic in the Israeli setting-confirms the assumption that the status of a specific language is primarily influenced by social and political circumstances. These circumstances may strengthen or weaken the language's legal status and expand or restrict its applicability. It may be assumed that the measure and nature of linguistic policies and the cultural capital value of the language, the attitudes towards the language and its official status are the main factors which constitute the interacting dimensions of the language's legal and actual status. Positive influence of one factor or more may be counterbalanced and neutralized by the opposed influence of the other factors. This status influences the learner's motivation to acquire the language both formally and informally and should account for why in some social settings second languages are acquired effectively and successfully, while in other settings the results are different.
