“…Saudi English (SE) is an emerging variety of English (Al-Rawi, 2012;Mahboob and Elyas, 2014;Fallatah, 2017;Elyas et al, 2021) that has not been well-researched and mostly investigated from a pedagogical perspective, where grammatical errors in English have been the focus rather than investigating them as features. However, few recent studies on SE were published within the World Englishes framework (Al-Rawi, 2012;Mahboob, 2013;Mahboob and Elyas, 2014;Fallatah, 2017;Bukhari, 2019;Elyas and Mahboob, 2021a;Elyas et al, 2021), but there is still a gap in the literature and more studies on SE are needed. This study hopes to contribute to SE literature by identifying its syntactic characteristics.…”
