When Morphology Indexes Prestige: Arabic-English Code-mixing as Linguistic and Social Practice in Saudi Arabia
This study explores the intersection of linguistic form and social meaning within Arabic-English code-mixing in relation to the morphological patterns that arise in mixed speech and their association with prestige and modern identity. Based on naturally occurring spoken and digital data and questionnaires from educated Arabic-English speakers in Saudi Arabia, the analysis reveals that morphological adaptation strategies include the introduction o…
Emergent Patterns in Gulf Pidgin Arabic: Interactional Strategies and Structural Regularization
This study explores interactional strategies employed by Gulf Pidgin Arabic (GPA) speakers to facilitate the negotiation of meaning and developing conventionalized linguistic patterns. Utilizing ethnographic recordings of exchanges between native Saudi Arabic speakers and non-native foreign workers who had varying degrees of familiarity with GPA, the study uncovers how GPA speakers co-construct conventionalized linguistic patterns despite limited…
Verbs of Pretending and Augmentative Constructions in Hā’ili Arabic: A Construction Morphology Approach
This study applies Construction Morphology (CxM) (Booij 2010b) to a set of nonconcatenative morphological constructions in the Ha'ili dialect of Arabic (HD), a northern Najdi variety spoken in the Hā'il region of Saudi Arabia. Focusing on verbs of pretending and augmentative formations, the analysis draws on systematically elicited and naturally occurring data collected from native speakers of the dialect. The study investigates whether these con…
Palatalization of feminine marker in Northern Najdi/Ḥā’ili Arabic
This study deals with a morphologically conditioned pattern of palatalization in feminine-marking morphemes in Ha’ili dialect of Arabic, as it is spoken by members of the Shammar tribe. It describes the differential permissibility of palatalization (/t, h/> y) in pausal environment for different morphemes, and demonstrates the failure of (segmental) phonological approaches to predict variation in morphological categories for which the possibility…
Adaptation of Turkish Loanwords Originating from Arabic
This study investigates the phonological and morphological adaptation of Turkish loanwords of Arabic origin to reveal aspects of native speakers’ knowledge that are not necessarily obvious. It accounts for numerous modification processes that these loanwords undergo when borrowed into Turkish. To achieve this, a corpus of 250 Turkish loanwords was collected and analyzed whereby these loanwords were compared to their Arabic counterparts to reveal …
