Overview Millions of people of Lebanese and Arabic ancestry who live outside Lebanon have no firsthand knowledge of the Arabic Lebanese dialect which is understood in Syria, Jordan, Palestine, and other Arab countries. Spoken Lebanese people of Lebanese ancestry visit their families and loved ones in Lebanon, they often find themselves unable to communicate effectively because of their limited command and understanding of Spoken Lebanese Lebanese dialect. The results are embarrassments, failed communications, disappointments, and unsatisfactory visits. Professor Maksoud Feghali put 25 years of his experience in teaching foreign languages to correct that situation. He designed a handy language guide based on a phonetic system he has developed. His phonetic system allows people to learn the Arabic Lebanese dialect with ease and speed. Spoken Lebanese, Feghali's book, teaches the Arabic Lebanese dialect through topics such as Spoken Lebanese, clothing, transportation, and leisure activities. This book, in addition to teaching the language, will be of great help to any one connected or traveling to the Arab Spoken Lebanese because it provides a better understanding of the Arabic culture and traditions. It presents realistic scenarios, dialogs, and situations that allow the Spoken Lebanese to communicate quite well with their hosts and families. Product Details About the Author. Related Searches.

For generations Spoken Lebanese men have Spoken Lebanese Classes – Alps Arabic Beirut Due to multilingualism and pervasive diglossia among Lebanese people a majority of the Lebanese people are bilingual or trilingualit is not uncommon for Lebanese people to code-switch between or mix Lebanese Arabic, Englishand French in their daily speech. Lebanese Arabic is believed to be a descendant of the Arabic dialects introduced to the Levant in the 7th century CE, which gradually supplanted various indigenous Northwest Semitic languages to become the regional lingua franca. As a result of this prolonged process of language shiftLebanese Arabic possesses a significant Aramaic substratumalong with later non- Semitic adstrate influences from Ottoman TurkishEnglish, and French. However some modern researchers have opposed the idea of descendance from Peninsular Arabic dialects, such as Ahmad Al-Jallad and others. Lebanese Arabic shares Spoken Lebanese features with other modern varieties of Arabic. Lebanese Arabic, like many other spoken Levantine Arabic varieties, has a syllable structure very different Spoken Lebanese that of Modern Standard Arabic. While Standard Arabic can have only one consonant at the beginning of a syllable, after which a vowel must follow, Lebanese Arabic commonly has two consonants in the onset. Several non-linguist commentators, including Nassim Talebhave claimed that the Lebanese vernacular is not in fact a variety of Arabic at all, but rather a separate Central Semitic language descended from older Spoken Lebanese including Aramaic ; those who espouse this viewpoint suggest that a large percentage of its vocabulary consists of Arabic loanwordsand that this compounds with the use of the Arabic alphabet to disguise the language's true nature. Historian and linguist Spoken Lebanese Al-Jallad has recently argued that while modern dialects are not descendants of Classical Arabic, forms of Arabic Spoken Lebanese than Classical are Spoken Lebanese historical foundation for the various dialects. Thus he states that, "most of the familiar modern dialects i. Rabat, Cairo, Damascus, etc. This table shows the correspondence between general Lebanese Arabic vowel phonemes and their counterpart realizations in Modern Standard Arabic MSA and other Levantine Arabic varieties. Although there is a modern Lebanese Arabic dialect mutually understood by Lebanese people, [13] there are regionally distinct variations with, at times, unique pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary. Lebanese Arabic is rarely written, except in novels where a dialect is implied or in some types of poetry that do not use classical Arabic at all. Lebanese Arabic is also utilized in many Lebanese songs Spoken Lebanese, theatrical pieces, local television and radio productions, and very prominently in zajal. Formal publications in Lebanon, such as newspapers, are typically written in Modern Standard ArabicFrench, or English. While Arabic script is usually employed, informal usage such as online chat may mix and match Latin letter transliterations.

(2020). The Language Choice and Identity: An Investigation Based on the Comparison of Language Attitudes from Two Different Localities. Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies, 16(2), 1032-1042.Doi: 10.17263/jlls.759361 Submission Date:14/02/2020 Acceptance Date:18/03/2020 Abstract This current research tries to compare and contrast the language attitudes of Arabic-Turkish bilinguals from Mersin and Hatay cities located in the East Mediterranean Region of Anatolia. The quantitative results of the language attitude surveys conducted in the two cities by two different researchers (Çetintaş Yıldırım, 2019; Kocaoğlu, 2019) are compared, and qualitative conclusions which can be generalized to the population of Arabic-Turkish bilinguals are obtained. Two different but related themes (language choices and the sense of belonging to a social/cultural identity of the two participant groups) consist of the main focus. Four sets of questions for the identity theme and seven sets of questions for the language choice theme were determined from the surveys and the means of each group for every question were compared and interpreted. The comparison reveals that Arabic-Turkish bilinguals from Hatay interiorize Arabic language more than Arabic-Turkish bilinguals from Mersin. The first group is more inclined to use Arabic in their professional career and transfer it to the new generations.

  • The Syrian Orthodox Church and Its Ancient Aramaic Heritage, I-Iii (Rome, 2001)
    Hugoye: Journal of Syriac Studies 5:1, 63-112 © 2002 by Beth Mardutho: The Syriac Institute SOME BASIC ANNOTATION TO THE HIDDEN PEARL: THE SYRIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH AND ITS ANCIENT ARAMAIC HERITAGE, I-III (ROME, 2001) SEBASTIAN P. BROCK UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD [1] The three volumes, entitled The Hidden Pearl. The Syrian Orthodox Church and its Ancient Aramaic Heritage, published by TransWorld Film Italia in 2001, were commisioned to accompany three documentaries. The connecting thread throughout the three millennia that are covered is the Aramaic language with its various dialects, though the emphasis is always on the users of the language, rather than the language itself. Since the documentaries were commissioned by the Syrian Orthodox community, part of the third volume focuses on developments specific to them, but elsewhere the aim has been to be inclusive, not only of the other Syriac Churches, but also of other communities using Aramaic, both in the past and, to some extent at least, in the present. [2] The volumes were written with a non-specialist audience in mind and so there are no footnotes; since, however, some of the inscriptions and manuscripts etc. which are referred to may not always be readily identifiable to scholars, the opportunity has been taken to benefit from the hospitality of Hugoye in order to provide some basic annotation, in addition to the section “For Further Reading” at the end of each volume. Needless to say, in providing this annotation no attempt has been made to provide a proper 63 64 Sebastian P. Brock bibliography to all the different topics covered; rather, the aim is simply to provide specific references for some of the more obscure items.

Khlifat Department of Linguistics, University of Colorado, Boulder, USA Abstract—This paper explores the phonetic and phonological paradox between two categories of Levantine- Arabic long consonants—known as geminates by looking closely at the hypocrite Arabic geminates. Hypocrite geminates are phonetically long segments in a sequence that are not contrastive. The paper seeks to demonstrate that Arabic geminates can be classified into two categories—true vs. fake geminates—based on the phonological process of inseparability and the Obligatory Contour Principle (OCP). Thirty Levantine Arabic speakers have taken part in this case study. Fifteen participants were asked to utter a group of stimuli where the two types of geminates interact with the surrounding phonological environment. The other fifteen participants were recorded while reading target word lists that contained geminate consonants and medial singleton preceded by short and long consonants and engaging in naturalistic conversations. Auditory and acoustic analyses of long consonants were made. Results from the word lists indicated that while Arabic true geminates embrace the phonological process of inseparability, Arabic fake geminates do not. The case study also shows that the OCP seems to bridge the contradiction between these two categories of Arabic geminates. Index Terms—Arabic geminates, epenthesis, inseparability, obligatory contour principle, CV phonology I.

Second!Reader!! ii ABSTRACT Author: Natalie Sullivan Title: Writing Arabizi: Orthographic Variation in Romanized Lebanese Arabic on Twitter Supervising Professors: Dr. Barbara Bullock, Dr. John Huehnergard How does technology influence the script in which a language is written? Over the past few decades, a new form of writing has emerged across the Arab world. Known as Arabizi, it is a type of Romanized Arabic that uses Latin characters instead of Arabic script. It is mainly used by youth in technology-related contexts such as social media and texting, and has made many older Arabic speakers fear that more standard forms of Arabic may be in danger because of its use. Prior work on Arabizi suggests that although it is used frequently on social media, its orthography is not yet standardized (Palfreyman and Khalil, 2003; Abdel-Ghaffar et al., 2011). Therefore, this thesis aimed to examine orthographic variation in Romanized Lebanese Arabic, which has rarely been studied as a Romanized dialect. It was interested in how often Arabizi is used on Twitter in Lebanon and the extent of its orthographic variation. Using Twitter data collected from Beirut, tweets were analyzed to discover the most common orthographic variants in Arabizi for each Arabic letter, as well as the overall rate of Arabizi use. Results show that Arabizi was not used as frequently as hypothesized on Twitter, probably because of its low prestige and increased globalization.

  • 00. the Realization of Negation in the Syrian Arabic Clause, Phrase, And
    The realization of negation in the Syrian Arabic clause, phrase, and word Isa Wayne Murphy M.Phil in Applied Linguistics Trinity College Dublin 2014 Supervisor: Dr. Brian Nolan Declaration I declare that this dissertation has not been submitted as an exercise for a degree at this or any other university and that it is entirely my own work. I agree that the Library may lend or copy this dissertation on request. Signed: Date: 2 Abstract The realization of negation in the Syrian Arabic clause, phrase, and word Isa Wayne Murphy Syrian Arabic realizes negation in broadly the same way as other dialects of Arabic, but it does so utilizing varied and at times unique means. This dissertation provides a Role and Reference Grammar account of the full spectrum of lexical, morphological, and analytical means employed by Syrian Arabic to encode negation on the layered structures of the verb, the clause, the noun, and the noun phrase. The scope negation takes within the LSC and the LSNP is identified and illustrated. The study found that Syrian Arabic employs separate negative particles to encode wide-scope negation on clauses and narrow-scope negation on constituents, and utilizes varied and interesting means to express emphatic negation. It also found that while Syrian Arabic belongs in most respects to the broader Levantine family of Arabic dialects, its negation strategy is more closely aligned with the Arabic dialects of Iraq and the Arab Gulf states. 3 Table of Contents DECLARATION.........................................................................................................................

  • Lenition in the Mozarabic Dialects: a Reappraisal
    Al-Qantara, vol. 18, nº 1 (1997) LENITION IN THE MOZARABIC DIALECTS: A REAPPRAISAL DAVID HANLON Birkbeck College, University of London Description of the varieties of Romance formerly spoken in al-An- dalus is complicated by the documentation of the greater part of the ex­ tant textual evidence in an alphabet which had been contrived to repre­ sent the sound system and syllabic structure of an unrelated language, and by the lack of any appreciable attempt on the part of the alphabet's users to adapt it to this new task. Lenition provides a measure of the difficulties this poses: whereas it has been possible to speculate on why the intervocalic plosives of Latin voiced in other varieties of Hispano- Romance, students of the Mozarabic dialects have sought to establish whether such lenition took place at all. Opinion remains divided bet­ ween those, like Meyer-Lübke i, who believe that it did not occur, and those, like Menéndez Pidal 2, who believe that it did. Meyer-Lübke affirms that the voicing of the intervocalic plosives in the Peninsula did not take place until after the Germanic invasions ^. He concludes from an acritical examination of the material that conti­ nuations of Latin /-t-/ and /-k-/ remained voiceless in the Mozarabic dialects at the time of the Islamic invasions '^, a view shared by Hall ^. Griffin observes that Latin /-t-/ and /-k-/ are transcribed as (voiceless) ;â'and çâ/respectively in the Vocabulista in arábico. He argues that the former was identified with Romance /-t-/, a dental plosive that had lost some its articulatory force but remained voiceless 6, and that the latter 1 Meyer-Lübke, W., «La sonorización de las sordas intervocálicas latinas en espa­ ñol», Revista de Filología Española 11 (1924), 1-32.

  • Processing Judeo-Arabic Texts
    Processing Judeo-Arabic Texts Kfir Bar, Nachum Dershowitz, Lior Wolf, Yackov Lubarsky, and Yaacov Choueka Abstract. Judeo-Arabic is a language spoken and written by Jewish communities living in Arab countries. Judeo-Arabic is typically written in Hebrew letters, enriched with diacritic marks that relate to the under- lying Arabic. However, some inconsistencies in rendering words in He- brew letters increase the level of ambiguity of a given word. Furthermore, Judeo-Arabic texts usually contain non-Arabic words and phrases, such as quotations or borrowed words from Hebrew and Aramaic. We focus on two main tasks: (1) automatic transliteration of Judeo-Arabic Hebrew letters into Arabic letters; and (2) automatic identification of language switching points between Judeo-Arabic and Hebrew. For transliteration, we employ a statistical translation system trained on the character level, resulting in 96.9% precision, a significant improvement over the baseline. For the language switching task, we use a word-level supervised classifier, also showing some significant improvements over the baseline. 1 Introduction Judeo-Arabic is a set of dialects spoken and written by Jewish communities living in Arab countries, mainly during the Middle Ages. Judeo-Arabic is typically written in Hebrew letters, and since the Arabic alphabet is larger than the Hebrew one, additional diacritic marks are added to some Hebrew letters when rendering Arabic consonants that are lacking in the Hebrew alphabet. Judeo- Arabic authors often use different letters and diacritic marks to represent the same Arabic consonant. For example, some authors use b (Hebrew gimel) to represent (Arabic jim) and b˙ to represent (ghayn), while others reverse the h.
