مقالة وصول حر Clitic Pronouns in Arabic: Agr Elements or Pronominal Arguments(دار جامعة الملك سعود للنشر, 18/4/1430) Mohammed S. MasroorAbstract. Roberts and Shlonsky (1995) assume that clitic pronouns in Arabic and Hebrew are actually object Agrelements base-generated on the head they are associated with. On the contrary, we argue that clitic pronouns inArabic are full-fledged arguments base-generated in the head position of the respective argument. We aredepending upon several pieces of evidence from relative clauses, complement clauses, and genitive constructions.مقالة وصول حر Nonveridicality and Negative Polarity Variation(دار جامعة الملك سعود للنشر, 22/2/1431) Abdulrahman H. AlmansourAbstract. This paper investigates the constraints that underlie the licensing of negative polarity items inClassical/Standard Arabic, aspiring to be the first study that provides a comprehensive account that defines thecondition under which those items are licensed in that language. I demonstrate that negative polarity items arelicensed only in non-veridical contexts in Classical/Standard Arabic. It is contended that downward entailment,Strawson-downward entailingness, polarity lattices, binding, or anti-upward entailingness do not predict the rightdistribution of negative polarity items in Classical/Standard Arabic. Furthermore, it is argued that the strength ofnegative expressions dictates a variation in the licensing of the negative polarity items under consideration.Specifically, it is shown that a weak (or broad) negative polarity item is sanctioned with questions, imperatives,adversative predicates, protasis of conditionals, modal verbs, the future, restrictor of every, the habitual, andvolitional verbs, whereas strong (or strict) ones are only licensed by regular negation. That negative polarity itemsare licensed in veridical non-monotonic contexts in a language such as English, while they are not allowed in thesecontexts in Classical/Standard Arabic corroborates recent proposals that call for a variation approach to thelicensing of negative polarity items cross-linguistically. The analysis entertained in this paper not only highlightsthe condition responsible for the sanctioning of negative polarity items in Classical/Standard Arabic, but alsoprovides evidence for a hierarchy of negative expressions strength.مقالة وصول حر An Idealized Cognitive Model of Naming: Converging Linguistic and Cognitive Evidence from Tunisian Arabic(دار جامعة الملك سعود للنشر, 28/10/1430) Zouhair MaalejAbstract. Naming people has been studied etymologically (Jäkel, 1999) and syntactico-semantically (VanLangendonck, 1999). But they have been argued to lack lexical meaning (Jäkel, 1999; Van Langendonck, 1999).The present paper, however, offers a cognitive semantic view of naming in Tunisian Arabic (TA) as an IdealizedCognitive Model (Lakoff, 1987; Langacker, 1991). First names are regarded as semantically and unconsciouslymotivated, describing a propositional model (Lakoff, 1987), a LINK image-schema (Lakoff, 1987; Johnson,1987), a metaphoric mapping (Lakoff and Johnson, 1980-1999), and a part-whole metonymic model (Lakoff,1987). Prototypically, first names in TA rely on a conceptual domain either recruited from within the experience ofname-givers or are the outcome of a desirable state of affairs on the part of name-givers. Such a desirable state ofaffairs is the product of an imaginative projection on the part of name-givers, who build this projection fromwithin emotions, morality, beauty, piety, etc. The conceptual metaphors capitalized upon in naming reveal namegivers’bias to males at the expense of females. The result is a cultural model of naming, whereby conceptualmetaphors interface with categorization and derivational morphology.مقالة وصول حر Bilingualism in Childhood(دار جامعة الملك سعود للنشر, 14/1/1430) Faisal M. Al-QahtaniAbstract. In some parts of the world, acquiring a second language in childhood may be feared and resented for itsassumed negative consequences. To investigate this issue, this paper compares and contrasts the results from theearlier studies with the results from the later studies on bilingualism in childhood in an attempt to highlight thesource of this fear on one hand, and to mitigate the resentment on the other. The literature of bilingualism inchildhood, as discussed in this paper, can be characterized as entwined and interdependent. Therefore, this paperfocuses only on certain debatable key themes discussed in the literature of bilingualism in childhood; it is beyondthe scope of this paper to cover all the issues related to childhood bilingualism. Most importantly, this paperdiscusses the effect of bilingualism on cognitive development in childhood, and shows why earlier studies havebeen bluntly rebutted by later studies conducted in the second half of the twentieth century. In general, this paperaims to refute the resentful assumption that acquiring second language can delay children’s cognitive developmentor can be at the expense of their native language.مقالة وصول حر The Effect of Social Factors on Sound Change in Najdi Arabic: The Case of [d͡z] in the Qaṣīmī Dialect(دار جامعة الملك سعود للنشر, 23/6/1430) Yousef Al-RojaieAbstract. The present study examines the pattern of dialectical variation in the use of the two variants of OldArabic qāf /q/—the affricated nonstandard [d͡z], and the regional standard [g]— in the natural spontaneous speechof speakers of the Qaṣīmī dialect, a variety of Najdi Arabic. The findings indicate that a change in progress isoccurring in the Qaṣīmī dialect, with younger speakers showing an incremental increase in the use of the standardregional variant [g] instead of the nonstandard variant [d͡z] and older and middle-aged speakers—especiallymales—tending to be conservative by retaining the standard regional variant. Moreover, this change correlatessignificantly with gender in that women use the standard variant [g] more frequently than men. To explain thischangeshift, the socioeconomic changes that Saudi Arabia has undergone in the last 50 years—particularly theprocesses of urbanization and modernization—were examined as factors prompting and accelerating changes inthe linguistic patterns of speakers of the Qaṣīmī dialect. In particular, the regional standard variant [g] has becomemore associated with urbanity and modernity.مقالة وصول حر Possessive Constructions in Arabic: A Cross-dialectal Study(دار جامعة الملك سعود للنشر, 21/10/1429) Noureddine GuellaAbstract. This contribution is a cross-dialectal analysis of possessive constructions. The dialects under studyinclude the Maghribin dialects and some of the dialects in the Arabian Gulf. The paper analyzes the formal aspectsinvolved in the construction of the notion of possession in individual dialects and its relation to Standard Arabic.The resulting strategies of possessive formation and structure will be exhibited and formalized in a vast array ofArabic dialects from a comparative perspective. It will be found that an important linguistic shift has been and stillis operating in the construction of possessive structure. This shift is due to many reasons. One of the mostimportant reasons is the contact with other languages or linguistic structures. In the case of Maghribin dialects, thepaper finds that the shift from ‘synthetic’ construction to a more ‘analytic’ construction is due to a recognizedBerber substratum. On the other hand, and in the case of the Arabian Gulf regional dialects and Classical Arabic,several linguistic forces are in play in the formation of a more dynamic type of possessive structure.مقالة وصول حر Reading for Detail, Vocabulary Acquisition, and Making Inferences as Vital Variables in Inspecting EFL Undergraduates Reading Comprehension(دار جامعة الملك سعود للنشر, 15/5/1430) Hussein A. HabtoorAbstract. This article inspects the importance of vocabulary acquisition, inference capacity, and reading for detailas sub-skills in reading comprehension for EFL learners. Reading is seen as an activity with an ultimate goal, viz.comprehension, which is the core of the process. Reading without comprehension is, absolutely, an ineffectualactivity. Yet, the extent of understanding depends upon many factors, such as, the nature of the reading task, theclarity of the expression, the reader’s purpose, interest, and his background and past experience. Comprehensiontakes place on three levels: literal meaning or construction of meaning, interpretation of meaning, and evaluationof meaning. These processes are emblematically known as ‘reading on the lines’, ‘reading between the lines’, and‘reading beyond the lines’. A group of 23 undergraduates of first year has been sampled in the Department ofEnglish, College of Education at Shabwa, University of Aden to carry out this study and a battery of threecomprehension tests and three cloze tests designed of the same texts were administered. All these tests are set toinspect the readability and comprehensibility of the EFL learners and to check their problems in vocabulary,inference and reading for detail. Results, anyway, have shown that subjects are confronted with problems inreading comprehension ability along with inadequate vocabulary acquisition, reading speed, and the lack ofinsufficient abilities of making inferences in reading process.مقالة وصول حر Systemic Functional Linguistics as a Strategy to Assess the Academic Writing of Students at Walter Sisulu University(دار جامعة الملك سعود للنشر, 22/12/1429) Baba P.
