Abstract

Abstract:Two different types of migrant laborers' language in Medina Province, Saudi Arabia, are described, based on fieldwork in urban and rural areas. First, three aspects of grammar are compared in the language of urban and rural laborers; then, general and dialectal Arabic characteristics among rural speakers are examined. The language of the urban population conforms broadly to Arabian peninsular pidgins, while that of rural migrant speakers approximate to normative Hijazi Bedouin Arabic. This study is among the first to document the Arabic of two distinctive populations of migrant workers in the Arabian Peninsula.

Hijaz的城市洋泾浜和贝都因L2：一个去殖民化的连续体？

摘要：通过对沙特阿拉伯麦地那省城市和农村地区的实地调查，描述了两种不同类型的农民工语言。首先，对城乡劳动者语言中的语法进行了三个方面的比较；然后，考察了农村地区阿拉伯语使用者的总体特征和方言特征。城市人口的语言大体上符合阿拉伯半岛的皮金斯语，而农村移民的语言则接近于规范的希贾齐·贝都因阿拉伯语。这项研究是第一批记录阿拉伯半岛两个不同移民工人群体的阿拉伯语的研究之一。

期刊介绍： Anthropological Linguistics, a quarterly journal founded in 1959, provides a forum for the full range of scholarly study of the languages and cultures of the peoples of the world, especially the native peoples of the Americas. Embracing the field of language and culture broadly defined, the editors welcome articles and research reports addressing cultural, historical, and philological aspects of linguistic study, including analyses of texts and discourse; studies of semantic systems and cultural classifications; onomastic studies; ethnohistorical papers that draw significantly on linguistic data; studies of linguistic prehistory and genetic classification.
