It accounts for linguistic accommodation in two settings: rural inside Beni Hammou as the minority three in-migrant groups have long been in contact with the majority group of natives: and urban as some in-migrant speakers are highly mobile and move frequently to the neighbouring cities. The selected linguistic variables are: (q), (9), (5), (3), the pronoun suffix (-hu) and gender marker (i: na). By means of quantitative and qualitative methods, data analysis has revealed that some social factors dictate the linguistic behaviour of the inmigrant groups to the host village speech and to urban speech. Except for one group, women inside and outside the village are likely to maintain their native speech while men adopt some features but not of the host village local variety. Those speakers of contact outside are prone to accommodate to urban speech. Accommodation is reinforced by social-psychological factors: negative attitudes of in- migrants towards the local variety of Beni Hammou as well as its inhabitants lead to non-accommodation of its features. However, their positive attitudes towards urban speech and its speakers lead to accommodation. Eagerness to grasp a significant social position and gain social approval of urban people, in addition to the stigma associated with some particular local forms, has led to the reduction of some salient features. Change in progress is manifested in: mixing of some native and non-native variants, levelling of some variants, and simplification where Beni Bahdel in-migrant group speech is revealed to take the direction of a simplified form of gender marker [-i] which is being adopted instead of the complex form: diphthongisation of gender marker. The study brings the result that geographical diffusion is taking place in Beni Hammou rather than levelling as speakers of internal contact in the host village have adopted new features not from the majority local variety but from urban cities speech. Thus, the trend of change in progress in this rural area is towards a regional koine. v TABLE OF CONTENTS DECLARATION OF ORIGINALITY ................................................................... ii DEDICATIONS ...................................................................................................... iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. .................................................................................. iv ABSTRACT ............................................................................................................. v TABLE OF CONTENTS ....................................................................................... vi LIST OF TABLES .................................................................................................. xi LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS ............................................................................... xiii LIST OF PHONETIC SYMBOLS ...................................................................... xvi LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS AND ACRONYMS ......................................... xviii GENERAL INTRODUCTION. ............................................................................... 1 CHAPTER ONE: HISTORICAL CONSIDERATIONS AND SOCIOLINGUISTIC PERSPECTIVES .......................................................... 12 1.1 Introduction ..................................................................................................... 13 1.2 Contact Linguistics and Contact Dialectology ............................................. 13 1.3 Mobility and Dialect Contact ......................................................................... 16 1.4 Dialect Contact and Accommodation ............................................................. 18 1.4.1 Short-term Accommodation ...................................................................... 22 1.4.2 Long-term Accommodation ...................................................................... 24 1.5 Koineisation: A Contact-Induced Process .................................................... 27 1.5.1 Mixing ....................................................................................................... 29 1.5.2 Levelling .................................................................................................... 30 1.5.3 Simplification ............................................................................................ 30 1.5.4 Reallocation ............................................................................................... 31 1.6 On Arabic and its Dialects ............................................................................. 31 1.6.1 Eastern vs. Western Dialects ..................................................................... 36 1.6.2 Sedentary vs. Bedouin Dialects ................................................................. 38 1.7 Arabic Koine .................................................................................................... 40 1.8 Arabic Dialect Contact Studies ...................................................................... 44 vi 1.9 Historical and sociolinguistic Profile of Algeria ........................................... 46 1.9.1 Historical Sketch ..................................................................................... 47 1.9.2 Linguistic Repertoire in Algeria ............................................................. 49 1.9.3 Algerian Dialect Classification ............................................................... 52 1.10 Conclusion ...................................................................................................... 58 CHAPTER TWO: THEORETICAL AND CONTEXTUAL BACKGROUND .................................................................................................. 60 2.1 Introduction ..................................................................................................... 61 2.2 The Valley of Beni Snous and its Tribes ....................................................... 61 2.2.1 Geographical and Historical Background .........................................................

  • Steps Toward a Grammar Embedded in Data Nicholas Thieberger
    Steps toward a grammar embedded in data Nicholas Thieberger 1. Introduction 1 Inasmuch as a documentary grammar of a language can be characterized – given the formative nature of the discussion of documentary linguistics (cf. Himmelmann 1998, 2008) – part of it has to be based in the relationship of the analysis to the recorded data, both in the process of conducting the analysis with interactive access to primary recordings and in the presenta- tion of the grammar with references to those recordings. This chapter discusses the method developed for building a corpus of recordings and time-aligned transcripts, and embedding the analysis in that data. Given that the art of grammar writing has received detailed treatment in two recent volumes (Payne and Weber 2006, Ameka, Dench, and Evans 2006), this chapter focuses on the methodology we can bring to developing a grammar embedded in data in the course of language documentation, observing what methods are currently available, and how we can envisage a grammar of the future. The process described here creates archival versions of the primary data while allowing the final work to include playable versions of example sen- tences, in keeping with the understanding that it is our professional respon- sibility to provide the data on which our claims are based. In this way we are shifting the authority of the analysis, which traditionally has been lo- cated only in the linguist’s work, and acknowledging that other analyses are possible using new technologies. The approach discussed in this chap- ter has three main benefits: first, it gives a linguist the means to interact instantly with digital versions of the primary data, indexed by transcripts; second, it allows readers of grammars or other analytical works to verify claims made by access to contextualised primary data (and not just the limited set of data usually presented in a grammar); third, it provides an archival form of the data which can be accessed by speakers of the lan- guage.

Jean-Pierre Angoujard (LLING - Université de Nantes) Si les études sur les consonnes pharyngalisées de l'arabe (les « emphatiques ») ont porté sur la nature de ces consonnes et de l'articulation secondaire qui leur est associée, elles ont plus souvent débattu des effets de coarticulation, c'est-à-dire de la célèbre « diffusion de l'emphase ». A côté de travaux essentiels comme ceux de S. Ghazeli (1977, 1981), la phonologie générative et ses récentes variantes optimales ont suscité de nombreux débats sur cette « diffusion » (types de règles, itération, extension du domaine etc.). L'ensemble de cette littérature sur la « diffusion de l'emphase » (et spécifiquement l'interprétation du terme « pharyngalisation ») a souffert d'une confusion entre, d'une part la reconnaissance des effets de coarticulation et, d'autre part, les descriptions par règles de réécriture ou par contraintes de propagation (spread). Nous montrerons, dans un cadre purement déclaratif (Bird 1995, Angoujard 2006), que la présence de segments pharyngalisés (que l'on peut désigner, pour simplifier, comme non « lexicaux ») n'implique aucun processus modificateur (insertion, réécriture).

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract This aim of this study is to highlight the critical view of human action and anthropic at the steppe zone of Tlemcen. Therefore, the current paper tends to tackle an analytical study of the dynamics of ecosystems in both states: El-Gor in the south-east and El-Bouihi in the southern-west of Tlem- cen. To carry out this study it was necessary to present the bioclimatic context based on weather data to perform bioclimatic syntheses (diagram ombrothermic, climagramme rainfall Emberger). By comparison between old and recent periods (1913-1938) and (1984-2009), respectively, for the region of El-Gor and (1913-1938) and (1970-1990) for the El station-Bouihi, there is a net de- crease in rainfall and higher temperatures at the new periods, which means that the study areas are moving towards the driest floors. The interpretation of multidimensional treatments AFC (Fac- tor Analysis of Correspondences) vegetation helps to determine the existing affinities between the different taxa.

    ARTICLES Mediterranean Botany ISSNe 2603-9109 https://dx.doi.org/10.5209/mbot.60127 Ethnobotanical investigation of Chamaerops humilis in the area of Beni Snous (Western of Algeria) Nadjat Medjati1,2, Okkacha Hasnaoui3,4, Brahim Babali3,4 & Noria Hachemi3 Received: 28 May 2018 / Accepted: 19 January 2019 / Published online: 7 November 2019 Abstract. The ethnobotanical potentials of Chamaerops humilis in the Béni Snous region (south-west of Tlemcen, western Algeria) has been studied to know the therapeutic utilities and the practices of the local populations, in order to valorize this resource. A series of ethnobotanical surveys were carried out using a questionnaire on the 3 municipalities of Beni Snous (Beni Bahdel, Azail, and Beni Snous). The frequency of use of Chamaerops humilis in the region of study is closely related to the profile of the investigated people. The results of this study reveal that Chamaerops humilis parts are used for therapeutic purposes by the local population: the heart of stipe as to treat dyspepsia (gastrointestinal attacks, 93.90%), fruits as an antiseptic (70.73%), roots for anemia (36.55%) and intestinal worms (30.10%), while the leaves are often used to treat diabetes (21.62%) and other gastrointestinal disorders (30.1%). Keywords: Chamaerops humilis; ethnobotanical surveys; traditional medicine; medicinal uses; Algeria. Estudio etnobotánico de Chamaerops humilis en el área de Beni Snous (oeste de Argelia) Resumen. Se ha realizado una investigación sobre los potenciales etnobotánicos de Chamaerops humilis en la región de Béni Snous (sudoeste de Tlemcen, oeste de Argelia), con el fin de conocer los usos de esta planta en las comunidades locales y cuantificar su valor como recurso.
