In reply to your question about lit on the Arabic discourse marker yani,
here is a list of some studies that have dealt with this marker (and
others) in different Arabic dialects:

Al-Khalil, Talal (2005). Discourse Markers in Syrian Arabic: A study of
Hall?, 	Ya؟nē, Ţayyeb and Lakan. Unpublished Ph.D. thesis. Essex
university.

Gaddafi, A.M (1990). A study of Discourse Markers in Liyban spoken  
Arabic.
Unpublished Ph.D. thesis. London Birkbeck University.

Ghobrial, Atef, N (1993). Discourse Markers in Colloquial Cairene  
Egyptian
Arabic: a pragmatic perspective. Unpublished Ph.D. thesis. Boston
University.

Ali-Kurdi, Heveen (2008). THE USE OF DISCOURSE MARKERS BY SYRIAN ARABIC
LEARNERS OF ENGLISH. Unpublished Ph.D. thesis. The University of
Manchester.

Ya'ni is also a discourse marker in Turkish and here are a few studies
about it:

Özbek, Nurdan (1995). Discourse Markers in Turkish and English: a
comparative study. Unpublished PhD thesis. Nottingham University.

Özyürek, Ash and Furman, Reyhan (2007). “Development of  
interactional
discourse markers: Insights from Turkish children’s and adults’ oral
narratives”. Journal of Pragmatics, In press.


hope this helps.

Best wishes
Heveen Ali-Kurdi
