Formal perspectives on mayyit (‘dead’) as a taboo-based intensifier in Urban Jordanian Arabic
This paper examines the syntactic properties of the taboo-based intensifier mayyit ‘dead’ in Urban Jordanian Arabic (UJA). We argue that mayyit developed its intensifying function through metaphorical extension rather than grammaticalization. Despite this shift, mayyit retains its adjectival category and shows agreement and other features of lexical items. Two forms are attested: a prepositional form and a non-prepositional, compound-like form. W…
The metamorphosis of ʤaaj in Rural Jordanian Arabic
This paper reports on the syntactic and semantic properties of grammaticalized uses of the motion active participle ʤaaj ‘coming’ in Rural Jordanian Arabic (RJA). We show that ʤaaj has undergone grammaticalization, resulting in the emergence of three markers with distinct semantics and syntactic behaviors. In particular, we show that ʤaaj has three functions in RJA: (i) a volitional act marker, signifying a purposive or deliberate action, (ii) a …
Flavors of Progression in Urban Jordanian Arabic
This study investigates the syntactic and semantic properties of three grammaticalized aspectual markers in Urban Jordanian Arabic (UJA): the particle ʕam, the active participle ʕammal, and the active participle ʔaaʕid. While traditionally perceived as markers of progressive aspect with identical semantics, this study distinguishes itself by unveiling significant syntactic and semantic differences among the three markers. In particular, the study…
Attention to Manner of Motion in Arabic Novels
The objective of this work is to conduct a corpus-based diachronic investigation of lexicalization patterns of motion events as well as attention to manner of motion in Arabic narrative writing. Motivated by the scarcity of research on Arabic motion events, this study aims to identify the main linguistic constructions used to express motion events in Arabic novels and more importantly to investigate whether a shift in manner of motion salience ha…
The syntax of silent directional prepositions in Jordanian Arabic
In Jordanian Arabic (JA), the complement of some motion verbs optionally appears without a visible preposition in what is known as (P)reposition-drop (Ioannidou and den Dikken 2009). This article offers a detailed description of P-drop in JA, showing that the common properties of P-drop found in languages with P-drop hold in JA. I argue that Gehrke and Lekakou's (2013) pseudo noun incorporation approach to P-drop cannot account for the P-drop fac…
On the feature (in)deficiency of dedicated impersonal pronouns
Research on dedicated impersonal pronouns in Germanic and Romance has shown a correlation between a pronoun’s reading and its case. In particular, impersonal pronouns that are exclusively generic (e.g. English one) can bear any case, whereas those that can be either generic or existential (e.g. Dutch men) can only bear nominative case. Moreover, there is a general consensus in the literature that both types of impersonal pronouns radically lack p…
Unifying Ellipsis and Pronominalization in Jordanian Arabic
In this paper, I discuss ellipsis inside Jordanian Arabic (JA) DPs. I show that both Nominal Ellipsis (NE) and pronominalization are attested in JA. I argue following Saab & Lipták (2016) that ellipsis takes place at different heights in the extended nominal projection via the presence of an [E]llipsis feature (Merchant 2001, 2005). In particular, I argue that there are two types of ellipsis in the DP: Noun Phrase Ellipsis (NPE), which targets th…
