The increase was in line with a rebound in international food prices amid market uncertainties posed by the pandemic. ▪ The prices of furnishing equipment & household maintenance increased the most by 0.6% points in August 2020 from May 2020 to reach 3.7% YoY in August 2020. While miscellaneous goods & services slightly increased by 0.1% points to reach 5.5% YoY in August 2020. ▪ Whereas, the prices of tobacco & narcotics, clothing & footwear remained unchanged at 3.3% YoY over the last 3 months. ▪ Meanwhile, inflation in housing services appear to have snapped deflationary trend after coming in flat in the last 3 months, due to a fall in housing demand as the number of expats potentially drop. ▪ On the other hand, components such as transport, health, communication, education, recreation & culture, and restaurant & hotels slowed in August 2020 driven mainly by mobility restrictions and strict social distancing measures.

  • Semantic Innovation and Change in Kuwaiti Arabic: a Study of the Polysemy of Verbs
    ` Semantic Innovation and Change in Kuwaiti Arabic: A Study of the Polysemy of Verbs Yousuf B. AlBader Thesis submitted to the University of Sheffield in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics April 2015 ABSTRACT This thesis is a socio-historical study of semantic innovation and change of a contemporary dialect spoken in north-eastern Arabia known as Kuwaiti Arabic. I analyse the structure of polysemy of verbs and their uses by native speakers in Kuwait City. I particularly report on qualitative and ethnographic analyses of four motion verbs: dašš ‘enter’, xalla ‘leave’, miša ‘walk’, and i a ‘run’, with the aim of establishing whether and to what extent linguistic and social factors condition and constrain the emergence and development of new senses. The overarching research question is: How do we account for the patterns of polysemy of verbs in Kuwaiti Arabic? Local social gatherings generate more evidence of semantic innovation and change with respect to the key verbs than other kinds of contexts. The results of the semantic analysis indicate that meaning is both contextually and collocationally bound and that a verb’s meaning is activated in different contexts. In order to uncover the more local social meanings of this change, I also report that the use of innovative or well-attested senses relates to the community of practice of the speakers. The qualitative and ethnographic analyses demonstrate a number of differences between friendship communities of practice and familial communities of practice. The groups of people in these communities of practice can be distinguished in terms of their habits of speech, which are conditioned by the situation of use.
