Subject:Wants work on yaani

Greeting group!

I am an American trained as a linguist working as an English teacher  
in Saudi Arabia.  While I enjoy teaching, linguistics is my first  
love, and I've become interested on doing some work on 'yaani' as a  
discourse marker.

Try as I might, I haven't found any literature devoted to the topic,  
though I have found some dissertations about Saudi/ English bilinguals  
that only go as far as to acknowledge that the word crops up in  
bilingual discourse.

Does anybody know of any work done on 'yaani' specifically or Arabic  
discourse markers in general?  I can work with articles in English,  
French, and German.

Many thanks!

Rex Hamaker
