Book excerpt: This book - the first detailed study of Sudanese Arabic phonology for many years - proposes a functionalist analysis which is strikingly simpler than standard accounts. Consonants and vowels are integrated into a single phoneme system; consonantal [y] and vocalic [i], consonantal [w] and vocalic [u], and consonantal [?] and vocalic [a] are analysed as allophones of a single phoneme respectively. The putative phonemes 'ee' and 'oo' are analysed not as phonemes in their own right, but as realisations of /ai/ and /au/ phoneme sequences, differing from 'ay' and 'aw' in terms of their phonotactic structuring rather than the identity of the phonemes which make them up. The potential for zero distinctive features to further significantly simplify the analysis is explored, particularly in the light of Jakobson's (1957) account of North Palestinian Druze. The models hyperphoneme and archiphoneme are shown to provide elegant solutions to otherwise problematic areas of analysis. Phonological arguments are supported throughout by detailed phonetic analyses of both canonical and non-canonical phonetic realisations, and a novel account is proposed of 'emphasis spread'.
Download or read book Perspectives on Arabic Linguistics XXIX written by Hamid Ouali and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume features a set of selected peer-reviewed articles, which represent research by some very prominent scholars and some promising researchers in the field. The articles cover a wide range of areas in Arabic linguistics, namely Sociolinguistics, Phonetics, Phonology, Morphology, Syntax, and Language Acquisition. They also feature research on a number of Arabic dialects namely Egyptian Arabic, Emirati Arabic, Jordanian Arabic, Lebanese Arabic, Sudanese Arabic, and Syrian Arabic. Some of the contributions engage prominent issues that relate to current development in the Arabic speaking world. For example Reem Bassiouney’s paper is a significant contribution in that regard. Other contributions, such as the ones by Stuart Davis, Abdel-khalig Ali, Lababidi & Park, Ntelitheos & Idrissi, present innovative studies in Arabic Morphology, Phonetics, Phonology, and Language Acquisition respectively. How Arabic can serve as a testing ground for some theoretical constructs and approaches is exemplified by Peter Hallman, Phil Crone, and Youssef Haddad’s contributions in the area of Syntax and its interface with other fields.
Download or read book Perspectives on Arabic Linguistics XXVII written by Stuart Davis and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2016-07-26 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of Arabic dialects has been an important and rich area of research over the past thirty-five years or so, with significant implications for modern linguistic analysis. The current volume builds on this tradition with ten scholarly contributions that provide novel data and analyses in multiple areas of Arabic linguistics: Syntax and its interfaces; regional and sociolinguistic variation; and first language acquisition. The linguistic facts in the volume are drawn from the various Arabic dialects spoken in North Africa, Egypt, the Arabian Peninsula, the Levant, and Standard Arabic, and the analyses proposed reflect current approaches in linguistic theory. The volume, therefore, should be of interest to formal linguists, sociolinguists, historical linguists, dialectologists, as well as researchers on first language acquisition. It is our hope that the papers in this volume will spur more interest in and research on further aspects of Arabic linguistics.
Download or read book Thematic Structure and Para Syntax Arabic as a Case Study written by James Dickins and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-05 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thematic Structure and Para-Syntax: Arabic as a Case Study presents a structural analysis of Arabic, providing an alternative to the traditional notions of theme and rheme. Taking Arabic as a case study, this book claims that approaches to thematic structure propounded in universalist linguistic theories, of which Hallidayan systemic functional linguistics is taken as an illustrative example, are profoundly wrong. It argues that in order to produce an analysis of thematic structure and similar phenomena which is not undermined by its own theoretical presuppositions, it is necessary to remove such notions from the domain of linguistic and semiotic theory. The book initially focuses on Sudanese Arabic, because this allows for a beautifully clear exposition of general principles, before applying these principles to Modern Standard Arabic, and some other Arabic varieties. This book will be of interest to scholars in Arabic linguistics, linguistic theory, and information structure.
Download or read book Perspectives on Arabic Linguistics XXXI written by Amel Khalfaoui and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2019-07-15 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together ten peer-reviewed articles on Arabic linguistics. The articles are distributed over three parts: phonetics and phonology, sociolinguistics and pragmatics, and language acquisition. Including data from North African, Levantine, and Gulf varieties of Arabic, as well as Arabic varieties spoken in diaspora, these articles address issues that range from phonetic neutralization and diminutive formation to diglossia, dialect contact, and language acquisition in heritage speakers. The book is valuable reading for linguists in general and for those working on descriptive and theoretical aspects of Arabic linguistics in particular.

Download or read book Perspectives on Arabic Linguistics written by Ellen Broselow and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1992-02-27 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume includes papers on the study of Arabic dialects and their implications for general linguistics (Section I), as well of papers of a more general nature (Sections II and III). Because the Arabic dialects are similar in many ways, a study of their differences can help isolate precisely the range of permissible interlinguistic variation (i.e. the “parameters” of universal grammar). A number of papers in Section I focus on the contribution of dialect studies to a theory of crossdialectal and crosslinguistic variation; others focus on individual dialects, thus providing data and analyses that can further contribute to our understanding of this type of variation. The papers in Sections II and III of the volume are selected from the general session of the symposium and address sociolinguistic and historical aspects of Arabic, respectively.

Download or read book Language and Culture written by Fatima Noureldin and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Failure to interact successfully in intercultural encounters is often a consequence of different cultural norms that govern language use than lack of linguistic knowledge. The contents of this book is an attempt to account for problems that Sudanese Arabic Speakers encounter in intercultural communication in relation to politeness, namely, apologizing, since it is an important speech act for maintaining politeness between people. The study investigated apology strategies in Sudanese colloquial Arabic and Sudanese English to examine whether there is socio-pragmatic transfer from L1 to L2, and to what extent do native speakers of English accept the utterances informants produce as apologies. The source of most of the literature in this genre is western cultures, and more recently, the far-east cultures, therefore, the contents of this book adds tremendously to the field since it one of the first of its kind in the Arabic-Islamic cultural contexts. The results are interesting and of great benefit to the field of pragmatics, speech acts, politeness, cross cultural studies and intercultural communication
