“…The right/left axis is absent from TAA (Cerqueglini 2015). As Cerqueglini & Henkin (2017) state, TAA speakers distinguish right and left exclusively in relation to human hands. Right and left hands have high cultural and ritual importance, representing respectively positive and negative values.…”

This volume contains over fifty articles related to various fields of modern Arabic dialectology.All the articles are revised and enhanced versions of papers read on the 12 th Conference of the Association Internationale de Dialectologie Arabe (AIDA) held in Marseille in June 2017. Since its first conference in Paris in 1993, AIDA members gather every two years in different country. The collection of the AIDA proceedings offer an updated insight of the development of the field.During the past few decadesthe the study of Arabic dialects has become an important branch of research covering a wide range of subjects from phonological analyses, morphosyntax, semantics to pragmatics, sociolinguistics, folk linguistics, studies on literacy and writings, cultural and artistic practices, etc. As many articles of this volume illustrate, the study of Arabic dialects explores different aspects of the languages and cultures of the contemporary Arab world. A remarkable feature is the growing and constant participation of young scholars from all around the globe.

“…However, strangely enough, the mother appears to be in a foreign land, as the last verse indicates. In fact, in the Bedouin culture, al-ġurbah 'the land of the West', or 'the land of the exile', also refers to the afterlife (Cerqueglini and Henkin 2016). Therefore, perhaps, in this poem, distance is to be understood as synonymous with extreme separation.…”

“…The word negeb was used in Biblical Hebrew to designate both the region located to the south of the area of influence of the ancient Israelite powers and the southern direction (Cerqueglini and Henkin 2016). The pre-desert/desert region called the Negev (Arabic an-Naqab) 2 is the southernmost area of the State of Israel and covers more than half of its land area.…”

Negev Bedouin daḥīyah Songs: Celebrating Brotherhood Above War and Love

While much attention has been paid to several dialectal Arabic narrative and poetic genres, Negev Arabic (NA) daḥīyah songs (NA diḥḥiyyih, also known as daḥḥa) have received little scholarly attention. I report here eight traditional Negev Bedouin daḥīyah songs, one neo-daḥīyah, and one haǧīn (NA hiǧnih)-recorded during personal meetings with informants from 2017 to 2019-in transcription and translation with some stylistic and linguistic comments. Background information is provided on the characteristics of this vernacular genre-its performance, contents, and scope-and its evolution. Daḥīyah has profoundly changed in content, language, and form in the transition from traditional Negev Bedouin society-before the establishment of the State of Israel-to the present. Originally a form of martial collective chant and dance mainly performed at wedding celebrations, the daḥīyah has gained popularity in neighboring sedentary Palestinian communities, where it has become an expression of identity, resistance, and revolt on various festive occasions. Today, several closely interconnected daḥīyah types coexist in the Negev, from songs that adhere to traditional models in terms of composition and performance to neo-daḥīyah.
