Dear Rasha Abbas Mahmoud,
I’m happy to hear about your interest in Gulf Arabic. Here are a few titles that immediately spring to my mind. For your reference, I also include the titles of some research papers – including one paper presented at your own university last year. Although you might not be able to read those papers (many of them are in Swedish) you may still get an idea of what I’ve been working on and see if there are any shared areas of interest. I would be very happy to discuss any related topic with you if you’d like to do so.
Best wishes,
Maria Persson
Lund and Uppsala Universities, Sweden.

Greetings... taHaiya Tayyiba wa 3badhaa...ahalan wa sahalan....
I refer to your query in the Arabic-L list for materials about Gulf Arabic (GA) dialects.
Hope these prove useful:
Dissertation at a university in UK (I cannot recall the institution) on the Emirati dialect of GA by Dr. Myriam Bishkek.
Best I recall, she is on faculty in the Department of Arabic Language and Literature at UAE University (UAEU) in Al-Ain, Abu Dhabi, and she would most probably know about other Emirati academics who have done related linguistic studies. Her lectures to a group of US linguists studying the "lower Gulf" (Emirati) dialect in 1995 under an interdepartmental language and area studies immersion program hosted by UAEU were excellent (I was liaison and escort for the group).
Eastern Arabic Dialect Studies, T. M. Johnstone,
London Oriental Series vol. 17, London: Oxford U. Press, 1967
[The University of Riyadh -- now King Saud University (KSU) -- published an Arabic edition, circa 1971; I found a copy in the stacks of the main library at KSU when I was a guest lecturer in 1991.]
Saudi Arabian Dialects, Theodore Prochazka, Jr.
Library of Arabic Linguistics Monograph no. 8,
London: Kegan Paul International, 1988
(Coverage includes the dialects in Eastern Province around al-Hasa)
Books, articles, and presentations by Dr. Bruce Ingham, SOAS, London
I will look for my PDF of one of his SOAS papers on features of the Mesopotamian / "upper Gulf" dialect common in southern Iraq and Kuwait, and can send that, if it may fit your research interest.
I think an Omani graduate student at The U of Texas at Austin did his dissertation on the coastal dialect of [Gulf-facing, around Ra's Musandam] of Omani Arabic, and another Omani elsewhere in the US did his dissertation on the dialect of Omani Arabic spoken in the interior town of al-Buraymi.
Look forward to seeing responses by other list members.
Khair, in shaa' Allah.
Regards,
Stephen H. Franke
