Of Rare and Obsolete Words
Journal of Semitic Studies. 2025. Vol. 70. No. 1. P. 67–86.
Older residents of the Modern Western Aramaic-speaking village of Maaloula are keenly aware of the progressive impoverishment of their lexicon as the younger generations come to maturity without direct knowledge of traditional ways of life and material culture. In this short Modern Western Aramaic text, two such residents discuss both the localities in which these ways of life unfolded and the words associated with them, which have become rare and even obsolete among contemporary speakers. The text is furnished with interlinear morphosyntactic glosses, a short lexicon of terms that do not appear in the standard dictionary of Modern Western Aramaic (NWAW), a translation into the local vernacular Arabic, and images illustrating the words and the locations that the speakers discuss.

This study investigates the role of hesitation pauses in spoken teacher discourse and their duration in the perception and short-term memorization of lexical items. While previous research has suggested that certain disfluencies, including hesitation pauses, can facilitate comprehension and memorization, the specific conditions under which this occurs remain unclear. To address this gap, an experimental ...

The paper also addresses the diachronic predictions of Nanosyntax and ...

Настоящая статья ставит своей целью критический пересмотр доминирующей в публичном дискурсе концепции «культуры отмены». В качестве основной задачи автор подвергает сомнению трактовку «отмены» как простого исключения индивида из публичного пространства, предлагая альтернативную лингвистическую и дискурс-аналитическую модель. Для достижения этой цели в работе решается ряд конкретных задач: 1) лингвистический анализ эволюции термина «отмена»; 2) исследование механизмов публичного ...

Many studies on different languages analyzed how spelling errors are produced and detected. Recently, a new generalization was made for several languages: frequently misspelled words are read more slowly, even when they are written correctly and one knows how to spell them. This is explained by the lower quality of their lexical representations diluted by ...
