In studies of the Omani dialect area these terms are used to distinguish between the speech of the traditionally settled populace concentrated around the mountainous interior of the country (S type) on the one hand, and the nomadic and recently settled communities of the deserts (B type) on the other. In some transitional regions located in the area between these two regions the classi!cation of dialects is somewhat blurred, as the varieties of Arabic spoken there exhibit characteristics of both S and B types. The town of al-Darīz, which is located in the interior of northern Oman, lies in one such transitional region. The present contribution examines important structural features of the spoken Arabic of al-Darīz and places the!ndings within the broader Omani context. It is shown that although the dialect exhibit...

A paninian approach to parsing relative clauses in Hindi and Arabic

Parallels are drawn between the Hindi co-relative construction and resumptive pronouns in Arabic. The analysis arises from the development of lexicalised dependency grammars for Hindi and Arabic that have application for machine translation.

An important sub-group of Austronesian languages are the “Indonesian type” languages spoken in the western part of Indonesia. These languages are characterised by the presence of symmetrical voice systems (Arka 2002; Arka & Ross 2005; Himmelmann 2005), which involve “at least two voice alternations marked on the verb, neither of which is clearly the basic form.” (Himmelmann 2005:3). Indonesian-type languages also generally contain true passive constructions, in which an agentive argument is demoted to oblique status and is thus marked in relation to its active alternant (Arka 2002:3). A number of languages of northern Sumatra feature symmetrical voice systems, but lack true passive constructions. Examples of such languages include Toba Batak (Schachter 1984) and Karo Batak (Woollams 1996). In addition to their more purely voice-like function of indicating the semantic role of the grammatical subject, voice in...

It reveals the emergence of the man and the state, documenting with insight the dramatic palace coups in his own country and the neighbouring emirate of Ras al-Khaimah and the struggles for power during the formation of the United Arab Emirates. Revealing fascinating and untold parts of the history of the Gulf state, the author's story is told with humour and passion, including his role in the protests and anti-British sabotage actions following the tripartite aggression against Egypt in 1956, his brief affiliation with the Ba'th party and the subsequent attempt on his life by party zealots in the 1960s, the occasionally baffled British administration attempting to follow the changing balances in power, and the siege of the palace in 1972 in which the former ruler of Sharjah was killed.
