The lifecycle of Qaf in Jordan

Abstract: Le « cycle de vie » de Qaf en Jordanie Bien que la variable Qaf soit souvent présentée comme « la variable sociolinguistique la mieux étudiée » de l’arabe, force est de constater qu’il persiste, dans notre connaissance de la progression d’une forme A à une forme B de cette variable, des lacunes importantes. Ainsi, le « problème de l’évaluation » (Weinreich et al. 1968) est souvent résolu en faisant appel aux notions de « prestige », de « stigmatisation », de « féminité / masculinité » ou « d’urbain / rural », … Show more

“…We now turn to the variable (Q), which is perhaps the most widely examined linguistic feature in sociolinguistic studies of Arabic (e.g. Abd El‐Jawad , ; Al‐Wer ; Al‐Wer and Herin ; Hachimi , ; Haeri ; Holes ). Versteegh describes the diachrony of this phoneme as having once been /ɡ/, the voiced counterpart of the voiceless /k/.…”

“…Al‐Wer and Herin () have made the important point that in a number of studies of Arabic sociolinguistics (Q) has been misidentified as a variable in situations where no true variation takes place. Damascus is cited as a primary example in this respect, a dialect which features [ʔ] as its standard dialectal realization of /q/.…”

“…By examining the corpus of speech collected for this study (see Table 2), it is possible to answer the base question regarding the actual variability of /q/ in Gaza City. The present situation in Gaza City in regards to (q) bears similarity to that of Amman, where [g] and [ʔ] co-occur alongside each other for the same lexical items (Abd El-Jawad, 1981;Al-Wer, 2007;Al-Wer and Herin, 2011). Additionally, after the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and the creation of the state of Israel, Amman too experienced a sizable influx of Palestinian refugees who have since become a part of the dialect mixture of the city (Al-Wer and Herin, 2011, p. 64).…”

“…The broadest generalization is that women are at the vanguard of change in monolingual settings" (p. 135). Furthermore, Al-Tamimi (2001) and Al-Wer and Herin (2011) argue that young Jordanian females often lead the way in linguistic innovation in speech. In light of this, the researchers find it appropriate to select this section of the population to provide the data for the study reported here.…”
