The data I collected indicate that the diphthongization of the long vowels in final position, the monophthongized variants of the diphthong /ay/, and the placement of stress are some of the main distinguishing features of this dialect. The study also indicates the occurrence of those same features in the Bedouin dialects of the Sinai, Araba Valley, and to a lesser degree southern Jordan and xi , . northwestern Saudi Arabia; this region is designated as Arabia Petraea in this stu9y. This study demonstrates that in view of the overall character­ istics of Bedouin dialects, the Arabia Petraea dialects are the primary representatives of the gahawah type, their syllable struc­ ture is clearly atrochaic, and their velars are never affricated. Finally, in view of my findings of the com.mon features of this group of Bedouin dialects, I propose the establishment of an inde­ pendent Arabia Petraea dialect group with two regional varieties: a Western, which includes the Bedouin dialects of the Naqab, Sinai and parts of the Araba Valley, and an Eastern, consisting of south­ ern Jordan and northwestern Saudi Arabia. xii CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION This study presents a phonological analysis of the writer's Bedouin dialect, that of the al-Ramadhin subtribe of the al-Tayaha, spoken in the northern part of the al-Naqab Desert (southern Isra­ el). The main distinguishing features of the dialect are examined to determine its regional character along with other dialects of the Bedouins in the Sinai, southern Jordan and the northwestern parts of Saudi Arabia. The overall goal is to provide a classifi­ cation for the Bedouin dialects of this area among the ranks of other major Bedouin dialect groups. 1.1 The Study Recent research focuses on regional grouping of dialect groups (Johnstone 1967, Ingham 1982, Palva 1984a and Woidich 1987). Rather than concentrating on the dialects of individual speech com­ munities, these studies have been directed towards an areal exami­ nation in terms of their placement in large regional units which share common linguistic features. After giving a brief phonologi- cal description of the dialect of the al-Naqab Bedouins, the main distinguishing features of this dialect are traced throughout the whole area to determine its general place among the Bedouin dia­ lects of Arabic. 1 The sources for this study are the writer's collected data, as well as data from ?ublished sources. The data for the Naqab part of this study was tape-recorded over a period of three months in the summer of 19.81. The recordings were made by speakers of the writer's tribe, Al-Ramadhin, who reside 30 miles southwest of the city of Hebron (10 miles southwest of the village of al-Dhahriyya). The eight informants represent the main clans of the tribal unit: five males between the ages of 35 and 60, and three females between the ages of 40 and 55. This age group was chosen because they were considered to be true representatives of the community's dialect, while informants of a younger age were rejected because employment or schooling might have carried them outside their dia­ lect area, and their speech was possibly influenced by other dia­ lect groups, such as the Qaysiyyah of the Hebron, of Southern Pale­ stinian Arabic.

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-65017-5 - The Syntax of Arabic Joseph E. Aoun, Elabbas Benmamoun and Lina Choueiri Excerpt More information 1 Issues in the syntax of Arabic 1.1 The Arabic language(s) Arabic belongs to the Semitic branch of the Afro-Asiatic (Hamito- Semitic) family of languages, which includes languages like Aramaic, Ethiopian, South Arabian, Syriac, and Hebrew. A number of the languages in this group are spoken in the Middle East, the Arabian Peninsula, and Africa. It has been docu- mented that Arabic spread with the Islamic conquests from the Arabian Peninsula and within a few decades, it spread over a wide territory across North Africa and the Middle East. Arabic is now spoken by more than 200 million speakers excluding bilingual speakers (Gordon 2005). Although there is a debate about the history of Arabic (including that of the Standard variety and the spoken dialects) Arabic displays some of the typical characteristics of Semitic languages: root-pattern morphology, broken plurals in nouns, emphatic and glottalized consonants, and a verbal system with prefix and suffix conjugation. 1.1.1 The development of Arabic Classical Arabic evolved from the standardization of the language of the Qur’an and poetry. This standardization became necessary at the time when Arabic became the language of an empire, with the Islamic expansion starting in the seventh century. In addition to Classical Arabic, there were regional spo- ken Arabic varieties. It is a matter of intense debate what the nature of the historical relation between Classical Arabic and the spoken dialects is (Owens 2007).

  • Using 'North Wind and the Sun' Texts to Sample Phoneme Inventories
    Blowing in the wind: Using ‘North Wind and the Sun’ texts to sample phoneme inventories Louise Baird ARC Centre of Excellence for the Dynamics of Language, The Australian National University [email protected] Nicholas Evans ARC Centre of Excellence for the Dynamics of Language, The Australian National University [email protected] Simon J. Greenhill ARC Centre of Excellence for the Dynamics of Language, The Australian National University & Department of Linguistic and Cultural Evolution, Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History [email protected] Language documentation faces a persistent and pervasive problem: How much material is enough to represent a language fully? How much text would we need to sample the full phoneme inventory of a language? In the phonetic/phonemic domain, what proportion of the phoneme inventory can we expect to sample in a text of a given length? Answering these questions in a quantifiable way is tricky, but asking them is necessary. The cumulative col- lection of Illustrative Texts published in the Illustration series in this journal over more than four decades (mostly renditions of the ‘North Wind and the Sun’) gives us an ideal dataset for pursuing these questions. Here we investigate a tractable subset of the above questions, namely: What proportion of a language’s phoneme inventory do these texts enable us to recover, in the minimal sense of having at least one allophone of each phoneme? We find that, even with this low bar, only three languages (Modern Greek, Shipibo and the Treger dialect of Breton) attest all phonemes in these texts.

Ethnic Variation of */tʕ/ in Aswan Arabic Abstract This study aims to provide some acoustic documentation of two unusual and variable allophones in Aswan Arabic. Although many rural villages in southern Egypt enjoy ample linguistic documentation, many southern urban areas remain understudied. Arabic linguists have investigated religion as a factor influencing linguistic ariationv instead of ethnicity. This study investigates the role of ethnicity in the under-documented urban dialect of Aswan Arabic. The author conducted sociolinguistic interviews in Aswan from 2012 to 2015. He elected to measure VOT as a function of allophone, ethnicity, sex, and age in apparent time. The results reveal significant differences in VOT lead and lag for the two auditorily encoded allophones. The indigenous Nubians prefer a different pronunciation than their Ṣa‘īdī counterparts who trace their lineage to Arab roots. Women and men do not demonstrate distinct pronunciations. Age also does not appear to be affecting pronunciation choice. However, all three variables interact with each other.

Since they lack a surviving narrative history of their own, in approaching the Nabataeans one necessarily relies heavily upon the commentaries of outside observers, such as the Greeks, Romans, and Jews, as well as upon comparisons of Nabataean material culture with Classical and Near Eastern models. These approaches have elucidated much about this

  • Classical and Modern Standard Arabic Marijn Van Putten University of Leiden
    Chapter 3 Classical and Modern Standard Arabic Marijn van Putten University of Leiden The highly archaic Classical Arabic language and its modern iteration Modern Standard Arabic must to a large extent be seen as highly artificial archaizing reg- isters that are the High variety of a diglossic situation. The contact phenomena found in Classical Arabic and Modern Standard Arabic are therefore often the re- sult of imposition. Cases of borrowing are significantly rarer, and mainly found in the lexical sphere of the language. 1 Current state and historical development Classical Arabic (CA) is the highly archaic variety of Arabic that, after its cod- ification by the Arab Grammarians around the beginning of the ninth century, becomes the most dominant written register of Arabic. While forms of Middle Arabic, a style somewhat intermediate between CA and spoken dialects, gain some traction in the Middle Ages, CA remains the most important written regis- ter for official, religious and scientific purposes. From the moment of CA’s rise to dominance as a written language, the whole of the Arabic-speaking world can be thought of as having transitioned into a state of diglossia (Ferguson 1959; 1996), where CA takes up the High register and the spoken dialects the Low register.1 Representation in writing of these spoken dia- lects is (almost) completely absent in the written record for much of the Middle Ages. Eventually, CA came to be largely replaced for administrative purposes by Ottoman Turkish, and at the beginning of the nineteenth century, it was function- ally limited to religious domains (Glaß 2011: 836).

  • Biblia Arabica
    Biblia Arabica An Update on the State of Research Nathan Gibson, Miriam L. Hjälm, Peter Tarras, Ronny Vollandt, Vevian Zaki1 Abstract The aim of this contribution is to review some of the major areas of current research on the Arabic Bible, along with the factors and trends contributing to them. Also we present some of the tools that are currently under development in the Biblia Arabica team, Munich. We provide here a very condensed survey of the transmission of traditions, as well as ways that biblical manuscripts in Arabic have been analysed and classified, covering both Old Testament/ Hebrew Bible and the New Testament. Overall, the lack of critical editions for Arabic biblical texts in general reflects not just the overwhelming number of versions and manuscripts, but also the fundamental challenge these translations present on the level of textuality. Standard paradigms of authorship and transmission break down in the face of the complex reuse, revision, and layering of paratexts seen in these texts. It is the careful study of manuscripts, not simply as texts but also as physical objects, which holds promise for reconstructing the practices of producers and consumers of the Arabic Bible. A union catalogue of Arabic Bible manuscripts will gather the paleographic and codicological information necessary for further research. Moreover, it will link manuscripts, translators, and scribes to the online Bibliography of the Arabic Bible, which is intended to be a comprehensive, classified, and searchable reference tool for secondary literature. In conclusion, scholarship of the Arabic Bible now has considerable momentum, but must continue to keep its fundamental resource – that of manuscripts – in the foreground of research.

    R. Museu Arq. Etn., 32: 167-178, 2019. Arabia Petraea, uma província romana e suas emissões monetárias Vagner Carvalheiro Porto * PORTO, V. C. Arabia Petraea, uma província romana e suas emissões monetárias. R. Museu Arq. Etn., 32: 167-178, 2019. Resumo: A Arabia Petraea, ou província Arábia como também é conhecida, teve sua fundação pelos romanos em 106 d.C., mas já se constituíra como um reino cliente do Império Romano desde o ano 63 da era comum. Teve uma importante função estratégica de guardar a retaguarda da Judeia e o flanco sul da Síria. A instabilidade gerada por rivalidades e interesses particulares dos diferentes estados clientes acabou inclinando Roma para a solução de uma provincialização gradual e definitiva da região. Apesar de ser o reino cliente mais estável, a Nabateia foi um hiato na geografia oriental do império. Sua anexação respondeu, portanto, a abordagens estratégicas e territoriais de curto e longo prazo, fundamentalmente a uma racionalização da gestão do Oriente Romano, que abriu uma fase comple- tamente nova na história da região. É nosso objetivo neste artigo apresentar o histórico da conquista romana sobre os nabateus, a constituição geográfica desta província e as questões político-econômicas que envolveram a formação desta província romana à época do Imperador Trajano, assim como demonstrar o po- tencial de reflexão e apreensão do universo político, social, econômico e religioso que as moedas produzidas nesta região podem nos oferecer.
