Effects of Gender and Age on Voice Onset Time in Rural Jordanian Arabic
This study reports the effects of gender and age on the production of Voice Onset Time (VOT) of stop consonants in Rural Jordanian Arabic (RJA). Participants of the study were divided into four age groups, namely children, preadolescents, adolescents, and adults, and were equally stratified according to their gender. They were asked to produce a series of Arabic words beginning with one of the six stop consonants: voiceless /tʕ/, /t/, /k/ and voi…
Phonological whole-word measures in bilingual Arabic-English speaking children
Refusal Strategies by Young Jordanian Speakers in Arabic and English
This study aims to investigate refusal strategies used among Jordanian Arabic speakers and EFL learners of English in Jordan. Two Discourse Completion Tests (DCT), containing scenarios of refusal, were completed by 43 Jordanian Arabic speakers along with 37 EFL learners of English in Jordan. Data analysis reveals three main refusal categories used in the data: direct, indirect and adjuncts to refusals. Jordanian Arabic speakers used 7% direct ref…
Mean length of utterance of Jordanian Arabic-speaking children with language impairment
This study serves as an explanatory investigation of the validity of mean length of utterance (MLU) to distinguish children with typical development from those with language impairment. Data were taken from 15 typically developing children and 11 children with language impairment, all aged 4-9 years old. A minimum of 100 utterances were taken from each participant which were then analyzed using Brown’s rules of counting MLU-w with some adaptation…

Authorship analysis of three Jordanian columnists: Is there a linguistic fingerprint
This forensic linguistic study aims to explore some style markers of three prominent Jordanian columnists. The study examined five semantic, three syntactic, and five structural style features in 75 genre-controlled Arabic newspaper articles. In this investigation, we followed stylistic (qualitative) and stylometric (quantitative) approaches to determine the linguistic style of the three targeted authors and their writing fingerprints. Findings r…
The use of discourse markers in argumentative compositions by Jordanian EFL learners
The aim of the present study is to investigate the use of discourse markers (DMs) in the argumentative compositions written by EFL learners at two academic stages (sophomores and seniors) majoring in English at the Hashemite University, Jordan. The significance of this study springs from its focus on the use of DMs in Jordanian EFL learners’ argumentative writings. Employing an integrated research method of qualitative and quantitative analysis, …
Acoustics of long vowels in Arabic-speaking children with hearing impairments
The present study investigates formant frequencies and vowel space area in Jordanian hearing-impaired individuals who received cochlear implants. To achieve this task, they were compared with their hearing aids and normal-hearing peers. The study involved 60 participants aged between 7 and 11 years, consisting of 20 cochlear implant (CI) users, 20 hearing aid (HA) users, and 20 normal-hearing (NH) children. All participants were native speakers o…
Broken Plural in Jordanian Arabic: Constraint-Based Evidence From Loanwords Adaptation
Based on a critical review of previous work, this paper shows that prosodic phonology models do not account for all broken plurals in Arabic especially in the case of singular forms comprising two or more different plurals, and in the dialectal variations of selecting the optimal plural pattern.As evidenced in loanword adaptation in Bedouin Jordanian Arabic, this paper proposes a well-defined set of prosodically-based constraints that account for…
Inadequate Top-Down Information and Vowel Judgement
The current study evaluates the accountability of Native Listeners (NLs). The study recruited speakers from a mixture of Arabic dialects and accents as one group and LAFL as another group where both groups spoke actual Arabic words with long and short vowels in contrast. A main consequence of choosing the present experimental manipulation is the outcome that NLs of Arabic had increasingly slow right recognitions in the follow-on test. The conclus…
Production of pragmatic routines by Algerian EFL learners: The effect of corpus-based instruction
The study investigates the effect of corpus-based L2 pragmatics instruction on the production of pragmatic routines by Algerian EFL learners. The sample consisted of 60 Algerian EFL learners from the University of Mohammed e-Seddik Ben Yahia, divided equally into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received extensive instructional intervention on the meaning and functions of pragmatic routines, while the control grou…
A corpus-based pragmatic analysis of Jordanians Facebook status updates during Covid-19
This study investigates the communicative functions of status updates on Facebook during COVID-19. For this purpose, a corpus of 500 status updates was collected from 100 Facebook users for 90 consecutive days. Subsequently, the data were characterized into five speech acts drawing heavily on Searle's speech act framework, prominent among which are expressives and assertives. Data analysis revealed that status updates could be considered a substa…
Acquisition of stress in the speech of Ammani Arabic-speaking children
The aim of this research is to examine the developmental stages of acquiring stress in the speech of Ammani Arabic-speaking children (henceforth AASC). Elicited and spontaneous speech productions of 48 typically developing children were transcribed and coded with the primary stress. Words were also analyzed according to their metrical shapes. The children were divided into four age groups: (1; 0–1; 6), (1; 7–2; 0), (2; 1–2; 6), and (2; 7–3; 0). D…
Mental Representation of Multiple Default Plurals: Evidence from the Adaptation of English Loanwords in Arabic
The present work argues for the existence of multiple default regularities of plural formation in Arabic. As evidenced in the corpus of loanword adaptation in Jordanian Arabic, this study calls for a reassessment of the treatment of idiosyncratic plural forms in the mental lexicon. This investigation is in line with the dual mechanism theory where both memory and rule are active, but with more reliance on the default rule (feminine sound plural –…
Hypocoristics in the Ammani-Jordanian context: A Construction Morphology perspective
The current study explores the patterns of hypocoristics in Ammani-Jordanian Arabic in view of Construction Morphology. The most common hypocoristic patterns are addressed with reference to the social factors (gender and age) that may contribute to the templates and functions of the hypocoristic structure. This paper argues that Ammani-Jordanian Arabic speakers produce various hypocoristic patterns to signify a variety of functions. A questionnai…
On Morphology-Phonology Interface: Insights From Diminutives in Jordanian Arabic
This study explores the morphology-phonology interface to be found in the formation of diminutives in Jordanian Arabic (JA). As evident in a corpus of diminutives in Bedouin and urban varieties, the results demonstrate that JA mainly depends on a non-concatenative (discontinuous) patterning of diminutive structures. Intriguingly, diminutives in JA not only are derived from nouns and adjectives, but also from perfective verbs. The diminutive verb …
Acquisition of emphatic consonants by Ammani Arabic-speaking children
This article investigates the production of the emphatic consonants /ṭ, ḍ, ṣ/ by typically developing Jordanian children. Sixty typically developing monolingual Ammani Arabic-speaking children (30 boys and 30 girls) with ages ranging from 2 to 7;11 years were recruited in a production experiment. In the experiment, they were asked to produce 18 minimal pair words with emphatic consonants and their corresponding plain coronals in all word position…
Production of gutturals by non-native speakers of Arabic
This paper investigates the production of Arabic gutturals by native (NSs) and non-native speakers (NNSs) of Arabic. A total of 40 participants, 20 NSs and 20 NNSs were recruited. 240 tokens were collected using two major methods: free speech and nonsense word testing. Using PRAAT software (version 6.1.01), the tokens were analyzed acoustically to measure F1 and F2 and to signal the (non)significance of the difference between the target groups an…
Tentative Language in Mixed-Gender Conversations of Jordanians: The Influence of Gender and Social Status
Purpose of Study: This paper evaluated the validity of self-categorization theory (Turner, 1987; Turner & Reynolds, 2011) in predicting the relationship between tentative language use and the prominent power of the speaker’s gender and social status in Jordanian society. Methodology: Eighteen adult Jordanian dyads participated in dyadic conversations. Each dyad consisted of high-status females and low-status males. Before recording their mixed-ge…
Effects of Listeners' Expectations of Speakers' Nativeness: Identification of Phonemic Vowel Length
Purpose of the study: This study is to describe an experiment in which native Arabic listeners identified phonemic vowels in Arabic words. Native Arabic speakers from a variety of dialects and non-native Arabic speakers spoke the words. The main objective of the present study is to understand the neglected role of the native listeners in making communication successful or impeded when native listeners lack adequate information about the non-nativ…
Stress production by Cebuano learners of Arabic: A metrical analysis
Stress is one of the most neglected components of the Arabic language in classrooms (Lin, 2018; Ryding, 2013).This study is devoted to analyzing stress production in Arabic as produced by Cebuano learners in order to highlight the challenges so that teachers can address them in the best way. The data have been examined within the metrical theory of word stress elaborated in Hayes (1995). A sample of 100 words has been considered, spoken by six no…
