Atlas of the Arabic Dialects of Galilee (Israel): With Some Data for Adjacent Areas


Add your own review!

Overview

This atlas is based on large-scale fieldwork conducted in Galilee in the mid-nineties of last century. Galilee is the area with the highest percentage of arabophones in Israel and displays a rather complex dialectal situation. The reshuffling of large parts of the population after 1948 led to a considerable degree of dialectal diversity in many places. Moreover, many points of investigation show, besides the notorious Bedouin-sedentary dichotomy, a significant sociolinguistic variation with respect to age, sex, and denomination.The atlas contains seventy-three phonetic and phonologial maps, in addition to eighty morphological and thirty-eight lexical maps.Ten maps deal with the classification of the dialects.The atlas is of interest to semitists, dialectologists and variationists.

Reviews

Es ist ihr unschatzbares Verdienst, dass sie diesen mit unendlichen Muhen gesammelten Schatz an dialektologischem Material gehoben und fur die Nachwelt systematisiert und bewahrt haben. Dafur gebuhrt ihnen Anerkennung, Respekt und Dank. Es erfullt daruber hinaus den Rezensenten mit grosser Freude, dass sie dieses Werk dem Vermachtnis von Rafi Talmon hinzufugen konnten. Ulrich Seeger in Wiener Zeitschrift Fur Die Kunde Des Morgenlandes 111 (2021)
