[13] // (8), short //, as first vowel in Swedish förföra []; [14] / (\), Welsh LL- sound, as in Llanllyfni []. Rationale The idea of this font is to allow users to produce the basic phonemes of standard English (official, southern UK), French (Île de France) and Swedish (Södra Svealand, rikssvenska) with single keystrokes. English phonemes diverging from those of their near- est equivalent grapheme are ideally assigned to the Shift position of that grapheme, e.g. on D, on E, on I. Nasalised vowels are on number keys 1 2 3 4 5. Otherwise phonetic characters are, where possible, assigned to keys of graphemes they visually resemble (e.g. on H) or to keys in their physical or phonetic vicinity. This font does not cater for regional variants. For keyboard layout (UK/US) of this font, see file XPTphonKbd.pdf. .

  • Towards Understanding the Status of the Dual in Pre-Islamic Arabic
    Towards Understanding the Status of the Dual in Pre-Islamic Arabic MUHAMMAD AL-SHARKAWI (Wayne State University, Detroit) Abstract This article suggests that the dual suffix in pre-Islamic Arabic did not differentiate for case. Tamīm, one of the most trustworthy pre-Islamic dialects, treated the dual suffix invariably although it had a full case system. There are also tokens of the same invariable treatment in the Qurʾān. The article proposes that the suffix long vowel variation due to the phenomenon of ʾimāla makes the formal origin of the invariable dual suffix difficult to ascribe to the East and Northwest Semitic oblique dual allomorph. Keywords: Dual, pre-Islamic Arabic, ʾimāla, Classical Arabic, vowel harmony. Introduction This article discusses data on the dual suffix in pre-Islamic dialects from medieval Arab grammarians and manuals of qirāʾāt to suggest that the status of the dual suffix in the pre- Islamic Arabic linguistic situation was unique among the Semitic languages.1 The article does not, however, seek to take a comparative Semitic framework. It rather seeks to discuss the dual suffix behavior on the eve of the Arab conquests and probably immediately thereafter. Although attempts to understand particular structural concepts of pre-Islamic Arabic are forthcoming, the formal, functional and semantic shape of the dual system remains to be studied in detail. In addition, despite the limited and sporadic data about the morphological and syntactic aspects of pre-Islamic Arabic,2 the dual suffix3 is one of the features of pre-Islamic Arabic dialects that can shed light on both the position of grammati- cal case4 in the Arabic dialects in the peninsula, and how it came to be standardized after the emergence of Islam.

  • Features of Arabic-French Code-Switching in Morocco
    Features of Arabic-French code-switching in Morocco A sociolinguistic case study on intra-sentential code-switching in Morocco Juhan Luomala Centre for Languages and Literature Lund University Sweden Supervisor: Maria Persson Examiner: Lena Ambjörn Acknowledgements I want to thank Maria Persson, supervisor for this study, for her guidance and supervision throughout this process, as well as assigning me as a representative of Lund University to conduct field work in Morocco. I want to thank The Birgit Rausing Language Programme, for a generous scholarship to make the required field work in Morocco possible. I want to thank Professor Yamina El Kirat and Laila Mounir, for receiving me as a guest at Mohammed V University of Rabat, and sharing their knowledge regarding Moroccan sociolinguistics and being of great help when organising the practical arrangements in order to make this study possible. I want to thank Souhaila Khamlichi, for being the moderator of the required focus group discussions. Without her help the recordings would not have been as authentic. I want to thank Taha El Hadari, Ismail Bardaoui and Mohamed Sabaoui, who were of great help when transliterating the recorded data. Without their effort and time this thesis would remain being in process. Finally, I want to thank my family and dear friends: Mehdi Bendkia, especially for his help with transliterations, as well as Ieanah Veronica Svensson and Edith Salminen for all the help and support, proof readings and feedback. !3 Abstract This Master’s thesis is a sociolinguistic case study about intra-sentential code-switching, also known as code-mixing, between colloquial Moroccan Arabic and French.

    Alpha Mu Gamma Lexicon 2019 (work in progress—more to come) Table of Contents Introduction Languages of the World Introduction The Romance Languages The Germanic Languages Phrasebook: Phrasebook of Languages Taught at Henderson French Spanish German Phrasebook of Languages Represented at Henderson Russian Ukrainian Italian Nepali Hindi Korean Portuguese Romanian Arabic Quechua Catalan Pidgin English Kishwali Ancient Languages and Other Alphabets Phoenician Alphabet (more to come) Other Resources, Websites, and Videos 2 | P a g e Foreword This phrasebook is intended to add flavor to Alpha Mu Gamma and strengthen the repertoire of its members. Seeing as AMG is an honors society centered on excellence and interest in foreign languages and cultures, it is only fitting, at least in my mind, that it should attempt to maintain a healthy knowledge base regarding the basics of the languages most used in the world, those taught here at Henderson, and those spoken by our international students. Having a rudimentary smattering of the geography of the major language families, from where they derive, and where they fit into the world is an important piece of the foundation of an educated and culturally informed worldview. A basic appreciation of the cornerstone languages of Western thought, Latin and Greek, also opens new avenues to explore our common hobby: the etymology of almost every word you will encounter in French and Spanish classes, as well as all mathematical and scientific terminology (and jargon), is derived from one of these two languages. Lastly, this is designed to be fun and easy to ingest! It is imperative that all future Lexicographers strive for inclusivity in creating future editions.

    [R] in Germanic Dialects— Tradition or Innovation? ___________________________________________________________________ MARIO BISIADA “ain hundts buchstab, wann er zornig die zene blickt und nerret, so die zung kraus zittert.” 1 0. ABSTRACT The quality of [R] in Germanic dialects is one of the most discussed phonological topics in Historical Linguistics, circling around one main question: Was it front or back? Scholars have proposed a back sound arisen through foreign influence as well as a native uvular trill. In this paper, I offer a comparative survey of the available literature, from the earliest superficial comments to modern in-depth dialect analysis, providing a synthesis of the arguments that have been proposed over time. Though no definite answer can ever be found, I provide what I regard to be a plausible answer as the outcome of the research that underlies this essay. 1. INTRODUCTION The realisation of /r/ varies a lot among the Germanic (Gmc) languages of today: Afrikaans, Faroese, Frisian, Alveolar trill / tap ɾ [ r ] / ([ ]) Icelandic, Norwegian, Swedish Uvular trill / fricative [ ʀ ] / [ ʁ] Danish, German Approximants British English, American ɹ ɻ (alveolar / retroflex ) [ ] / [ ] English TABLE 1: The various realisations of /r/ in Gmc languages based on Erickson (2002: 183f)2 1 Valentin Ickelsamer Teutsche Grammatica, 1534? [=’the sound of a dog, when it furiously bares its teeth and snarls, thus the curly tongue trembles.’], possibly the earliest attempt of a phonetic description of German /r/ (Runge 1974). Translations are given either in footnotes in single inverted commas, or after a block quote in square brackets and single inverted commas. 2 Some languages like Dutch, German, Norwegian and Swedish have both coronal and uvular realisations.
