Urban Pidgin and Bedouin L2 in the Hijaz: A Depidginization Continuum?
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.
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.
