Abstract:

This present book studies from a dialectological perspective various African
Arabic varieties, such as Maghreb Arabic, Bongor Arabic, Juba Arabic and
Logorí Arabic. On the one hand, different specific linguistic aspects
related
to phonetics and phonology as well as to morphology, syntax and lexicology
are
discussed in this volume; e.g. the Arabic loanwords in Somali with regard to
the strata in South Arabian, the structural features of Logorì Arabic and
its
use as Lingua Franca or native language, the contact-induced innovation
processes in North African Arabic negation by analogy with Berber negation.
On
the other hand, the African Arabic theme is approached from a more general
perspective analysing the contact effects on linguistic features and systems
from a broader comparative, typological and universal viewpoint, e.g. a
general typology of Arabic in Africa, the question of possible universal
features of pidginization and creolization drawn on evidence from
Arabic-based
pidgins and creoles. Its outcomes offer important insights for all
linguistic
studies and approaches, and directly connect with other research fields such
as sociolinguistics, ethnolinguistics and language acquisition.
