Abstract:

The Arabic Influence on Northern Berber provides an overview of the effects
of
language contact on a wide array of Berber languages spoken in the Maghrib.
These languages have undergone important changes in their lexicon,
phonology,
morphology, and syntax as a result of over a thousand years of Arabic
influence. The social situation of Berber-Arabic language contact is similar
all over the region: Berber speakers introducing Arabic features into their
language, with only little language shift going on. Moreover, the
typological
profile of the different Berber varieties is relatively homogenous. The
comparison of contact-induced change in Berber therefore adds up to a study
in
typological variation of contact influence under very similar linguistic and
social conditions.
