Frontmatter -- Contents -- Addresses of contributors -- Introduction -- Grammar studies in African Arabic dialectology -- Native and non-native varieties of Arabic in an emerging urban centre of western Sudan. Evidence from Kadugli -- Reinventing negation patterns in Moroccan Arabic -- The prosody of Juba Arabic: split prosody, morphophonology and slang -- Grammaticalized uses of the verb ṛa(a) in Arabic: a Maghrebian specificity? -- Some new information about Bongor Arabic -- Lexicological studies in African Arabic dialectology -- Strata on loanwords from Arabic and other Semitic languages in Northern Somali -- Sub-Saharan lexical influence in North African Arabic and Berber -- Lexical aspects of Maghrebi Arabic -- Arab-Berber contacts in the Middle Ages and ancient Arabic dialects: new evidence from an old Ibāḍite religious text -- Index
Summary: This present book studies from a dialectological perspective various African Arabic varieties, such as Maghreb Arabic, Bongor Arabic, Juba Arabic and Logorí Arabic. On the one hand, different specific linguistic aspects related to phonetics and phonology as well as to morphology, syntax and lexicology are discussed in this volume; e.g. the Arabic loanwords in Somali with regard to the strata in South Arabian, the structural features of Logorì Arabic and its use as Lingua Franca or native language, the contact-induced innovation processes in North African Arabic negation by analogy with Berber negation. On the other hand, the African Arabic theme is approached from a more general perspective analysing the contact effects on linguistic features and systems from a broader comparative, typological and universal viewpoint, e.g. a general typology of Arabic in Africa, the question of possible universal features of pidginization and creolization drawn on evidence from Arabic-based pidgins and creoles. Its outcomes offer important insights for all linguistic studies and approaches, and directly connect with other research fields such as sociolinguistics, ethnolinguistics and language acquisition.
