Título: | Modality in Arabic: The Multiple Functions of the (Non)-Indicative Markers -ūn and b- |
Autor: | Valenzuela Mochón, Estefanía CSIC | Palabras clave: | Modality Indicative Mood markers Arabic varieties Speaker’s stance |
Fecha de publicación: | 25-oct-2022 | Editor: | Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute | Citación: | Languages (7): 272 (2022) | Resumen: | This paper explores the non-indicative modal meanings that the classical indicative plural inflection -ūn and the preverbal particle b- express in different varieties of Arabic. Moreover, it argues that these two forms allow the speaker to introduce a marked stance in specific grammatical contexts, where the choice of - ūn or b- clearly introduces a modal reading to the proposition. Taking a comparative approach to examine modality in Arabic, I build on examples taken from Classical Arabic (CLA), premodern non-standard written (NSW) documents, and modern dialects to analyze the modal behavior of - ūn and b-. Analysis of the data reveals the following: (1) preverbal b- is used to create rhetorical contrast, and (2) either - ¯un or b- can overtly signal authoritative expectations (and orders) and/or intention. These results suggest an interesting connection between the modal roles played by -ūn and b- across Arabic varieties and demonstrate the importance of NSW texts in tracing the historical development of modality in Arabic. | Versión del editor: | https://www.mdpi.com/2226-471X/7/4/272 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/287963 | DOI: | 10.3390/languages7040272 | E-ISSN: | 2226-471X |
