  • On The Social Use Of ‘Urban Ammani Arabic’ By Adult Female Speakers In The Amman Metropolitan Area

    Open AccessMarwan Jarrah, Nahed Emaish et al.ARTICLEJournal of Intercultural…2024Cited by: 1References: 12

    This article examines the significant phenomenon of the use of what we term "Urban Ammani Arabic" (UAA) by most adult female speakers in the Amman metropolitan area, particularly when this dialect differs from the one they acquire or use in their domestic environments. To explore this, 132 adult female speakers were selected to participate in both sociolinguistic and semi-structured interviews. These interviews aimed to uncover the metapragmatic …

  • An OT Account of Negation in Jordanian Arabic

    Open AccessAyman Yasin, Rasheed S Al-Jarrah et al.ARTICLETheory and Practice in Language…2023

    Jordanian Arabic exhibits three forms of negation: preverbal, discontinuous and post-verbal. In this paper, we show how these three forms of negation could be accounted for from an OT perspective. Concisely, our main goal is to find out form-specific ranking(s) of the set of universal constraints that condition negation in this dialect. We argue that negation is tense-dependent in this dialect (viz. different tense forms opt for different constra…

  • A Prosodic Account of Negation in Jordanian Arabic

    Open AccessAyman Yasin, Ekab Al-Shawashreh et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2023

    This study investigates the relationship between negation variation in Jordanian Arabic and prosody. Inspired by a variationist study (Sallakh 2021) which found that transitivity and tense had major effects on the choice of negation variants in Jordanian Arabic, we provide phonological and acoustic analyses of tokens involving transitive and intransitive verbs. Our results show that intransitive verbs are more likely to occur in discontinuous neg…

  • The discourse uses of the verb dire ‘to say’ in Vernacular French: A corpus-based exploration

    Open AccessMousa Awwad, Marwan Jarrah et al.ARTICLECogent Arts and Humanities2023

    This article provides a descriptive account of the major uses of the speech verb dire “to say” in Vernacular French. CLAPI Corpus (Corpus de Langue Parlée en Interaction), which is a multimedia database of corpora recorded in real situations (i.e. professional, institutional, commercial, didactic, and medical) is used. Five major uses of the verb dire are found, namely quotative (speech) dire, epistemic dire ̧ evocative dire, desiderative dire, a…

  • Emphatic assimilation across morpheme boundaries in Jordanian Arabic

    Open AccessMutasim Al-Deaibes, Marwan Jarrah et al.ARTICLECogent Social Sciences2022

    This study aims to examine emphatic assimilation across morpheme boundaries in Jordanian Arabic (JA). Our research is based on word-list data comprising 86 words uttered by 12 native speakers of JA, recorded and acoustically analyzed in Praat for a total of 1032 tokens. The consonants of the bound morphemes tested include the genitive/accusative suffix-initial consonant /h/, the active participle prefix-final consonant /t/, and the definite artic…

  • A sociolinguistic analysis of intensifiers in Ammani Arabic

    Open AccessAsia Alshaboul, Marwan Jarrah et al.ARTICLEAmpersand2022

    This study aims to identify the intensifiers used in Ammani Arabic (henceforth AA) and to explore whether or not their use is socially constrained by age, gender, and education. Furthermore, the study attempts to find whether the use of intensifiers throughout this dialect is internally constrained through the examination of the effects of a set of linguistic factors (i.e., the semantic class of adjectives, the function of adjectives [attributive…

  • No case tampering once transfer domain is formed

    Marwan Jarrah, Rasheed Al-Jarrah et al.ARTICLEThe Linguistic Review2022

    This research article offers empirical evidence from Standard Arabic (SA) that an existing structural case assigned on an element by one head can be overridden by a new structural case assigned by a different head as long as the element (or one of its copies) has not become part of any previous transfer domain defined by the Phase Impenetrability Condition (PIC) (see Chomsky, Noam. 2000. Minimalist inquiries: The framework. In Roger Martin, David…
