Tunisian and Libyan Arabic Dialects: Common Trends - Recent Developments - Diachronic Aspects (ebook)

Argumento de Tunisian and Libyan Arabic Dialects: Common Trends - Recent Developments - Diachronic Aspects (ebook)

This tripartite volume with 18 contributions in English and French is dedicated to Tunisian and Libyan Arabic dialects which form part of the so-called Maghrebi or Western group of dialects. There are ten contributions that investigate aspects of Tunisian dialects, five contributions on Libyan dialects, and three comparative articles that go beyond the geographical and linguistic borders of Tunisia and Libya. The focus of "Tunisian and Libyan Arabic Dialects" is on linguistic aspects but a wider range of topics is also addressed, in particular questions regarding digital corpora and digital humanities. These foci and other subjects investi­gated, such as the syntactic studies and the presentation of recently gathered linguistic data, bear reference to the subtitle "Common Trends ? Recent Developments ? Diachronic Aspects".0Table of Contents Introduction ..................................................................................................... 7 Veronika RITT-BENMIMOUN Comparative Studies Catherine TAINE-CHEIKH La classification des parlers bédouins du Maghreb: Revisiter le classement traditionnel ............................................................... 15 Veronika RITT-BENMIMOUN, Smaranda GRIGORE, Jocelyne OWENS & Jonathan OWENS Three Idioms, Three Dialects, One History: ................................................. 43 Egyptian, Nigerian and Tunisian Arabic Sumikazu YODA The Historical h in Some Eastern Maghribi Dialects Revisited ................... 85 Tunisian Dialects Peter BEHNSTEDT A propos du lexique tunisien, ou: Qu?est-ce qui est typiquement tunisien? ..................................................... 103 Ines DALLAJI A First Approach to Male Youth Language in Tunisia: Lexical Particularities of Revolutionary Rap Music .................................... 115 Bruno HERIN & Martin R.
