This study aims at exploring the attitudes of males toward different spoken varieties of Jordanian Arabic when utilized by females. A female speaker delivered three recorded guises in the major spoken varieties of Jordan: urban, Bedouin, and rural. A Matched Guise Test (MGT) and informal interviews were utilized. In the MGT, 402 participants, evenly representing the three spoken varieties, responded to a questionnaire containing 12 statements rel…

The mythic sign integrates a myriad of epistemological spaces philosophical, sci…

Using an unconstrained color-naming task performed on a computer, three hu…
