Book Description
Whether you are going to Morocco for tourism or you just fell in love with its language, this book is made for the sole purpose of helping you communicate in Moroccan Arabic (also known as Darija). Darija is a colloquial Arabic dialect that is heavily influenced by Berber Amazigh and to a lesser extent by French and Spanish.Learning a new language is hard as it is, so I can understand the frustration you might feel when you face a new language with a completely different alphabet and not well defined grammar and vocabulary. Fortunately, this book was written while constantly putting myself in your place; therefor I simplified as many grammar rules as possible and made a transcription technique that will help you learn Darija using classical Latin alphabet while slowly getting used to the Arabic script.Oh, and one more thing: it might motivate you to know that Darija speakers can communicate easily with Algerians and Tunisians, in other words, by learning Moroccan Arabic you will add three more countries to your "where can I communicate" list.

Arabic Sociolinguistics
Author: Reem Bassiouney
Publisher: Georgetown University Press
ISBN: 1626167877
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 412
Book Description
In this second edition of Arabic Sociolinguistics, Reem Bassiouney expands the discussion of major theoretical approaches since the publication of the book’s first edition to account for new sociolinguistic theories in Arabic contexts with up-to-date examples, data, and approaches. The second edition features revised sections on diglossia, code-switching, gender discourse, language variation, and language policy in the region while adding a chapter on critical sociolinguistics—a new framework for critiquing the scholarly practices of sociolinguistics. Bassiouney also examines the impact of politics and new media on Arabic language. Arabic Sociolinguistics continues to be a uniquely valuable resource for understanding the theoretical framework of the language.

A Look Into the Hidden Aspects of Moroccan Culture that are Necessary for Understanding Local Humor
Author: Matthew Helmke
Publisher: Matthew Helmke
ISBN: 0615142842
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 122
Book Description
This project started as a language learning experiment. Matthew Helmke was sitting in a cafe with a Moroccan having a discussion in Moroccan Arabic. The friend told a joke and it was quickly discovered that vocabulary alone would not insure an understanding of humor. This prompted a question, "What did I miss?" In this book, Matthew Helmke explores the hidden aspects of Moroccan culture. These are the things that Moroccans know inherently, without being taught. The result is an intriguing look through the eyes of an American trying to make sense of Moroccan culture.

Syllables In Tashlhiyt Berber And In Moroccan Arabic
Author: F. Dell
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401002797
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 391
Book Description
This book is intended primarily as an original contribution to the investi gation of the phonology of the two main languages spoken in Morocco. Its central topic is syllable structure. Our theoretical outlook is that of generative phonology. Most of the book deals with Tashlhiyt Berber. This language has a syllable structure with properties which are highly unusual, as seen from the vantage point of better-studied languages on which most theorizing about syllabification is based. On the one hand, complex consonant sequences are a common occurrence in the surface representations. On the other hand, syllable structure is very simple: only one distinctive feature bundle (phoneme) may occur in the onset, the nucleus or the coda. The way these two conflicting demands are reconciled is by allowing vowelless sylla bies . Any consonant may act as a syllable nucleus. When astring is syllabified, nuclear status is preferentially assigned to the segments with a higher degree of sonority than their neighbours. Consider for instance the expression below, which is a complete sentence meaning 'remove it (m) and eat it (m)': /kks=t t-ss-t=t/ [k. st. s . t:"] . k. k~t. t. s. . slt. The sentence must be pronounced voiceless throughout, as indicated by the IPA transcription between square brackets ; the syllabic parse given after the IPA transcription indicates that the sentence comprises four syllables (syllable nuclei are underlined). The differences between the dialects of Berber have to do primarily with the phonology and the lexicon.

Arabic vs Arabic
Author: Matthew Aldrich
Publisher: Lingualism.com
ISBN:
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
Compare the vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar of MSA and 14 dialects (Algerian, Bahraini, Egyptian, Iraqi, Jordanian, Lebanese, Moroccan, Palestinian, Qatari, Saudi (Hejazi), Sudanese, Syrian, Tunisian, and Yemeni). Free audio downloads available at www.lingualism.com/ava If you’re learning Arabic, you’ve probably started with Modern Standard Arabic (MSA). Or perhaps a dialect? You might be learning both MSA and a dialect (or two!) in tandem. And you’re certainly aware that there are many more dialects out there. It may seem daunting. But just how similar and different are they from one another? If you’re curious, this book is for you. Arabic vs. Arabic: A Dialect Sampler lets you explore the vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar of 15 varieties of Arabic (14 dialects and MSA) through tables with notes and free, downloadable accompanying audio. You can go through the tables in order or skip around the book to see what catches your attention. The book really is meant to be a sampler platter to give you a taste of each dialect and a better understanding of just how varied the various varieties of Arabic are. The layout encourages the self-discovery method of learning. While the notes under many tables identify points of interest, you are encouraged to find patterns, exceptions, innovative features of dialects, and universals by studying the tables and listening to the audio tracks.
