Hello Rex,A former colleague of mine wrote her MA thesis on yaani as a  
discourse marker in educated Egyptian Arabic, you can find the link at  
the following address :http://lib.aucegypt.edu/search~S2?/ael+shimi 
+amani/ael+shimi+amani/1%2C1%2C2%2CB/frameset&FF=ael+shimi+amani&1%2C 
%2C2#it's a thesis which is also in microfiche, at the American  
University in Cairo library (Author: Amani El Shimi) . I hope you  
could find a way to access it.Good luck.Marwa HusseinIndiana

Hello,

The one reference I know is in a volume edited by Dilworth Parkinson, so
I'm not sure if he's already mentioned it you:
Jonathan Owens and Trent Rockwood, "Ya3nii: What it really means," in
Perspectives on Arabic Linguistics: Papers from the annual symposium on
Arabic linguistics, Volume XXI, Provo, Utah, March 2007

I haven't read the article, but that's what springs to mind immediately.
Unfortunately, as far as I know, I don't think Perspectives has been
digitized in any meaningful way, so you might have trouble finding it
unless you have access to a well stocked library (MLA seems to have it
indexed, so it's searchable to some degree, but they don't have full
text online AFAIK)

Dear Rex,

Recently there was a post here on the list about a new book containing  
an article that might be of interest to you:

Owens, Jonathan and Trent Rockwood (2008):
"Yaʕni: What it (really) means" in:	Parkinson, Dilworth B. (ed.),  
Perspectives on Arabic Linguistics: Papers from the annual symposium  
on Arabic linguistics. John Benjamins Publishing Company (83–113)

best,
Ivan
