Wh Question In-Situ and Movement in Najdi Dialect

Changes in the word’s place and the formation of the structure is a system by which some words move from its place to take another due to some effects of linguistic aspects like morphology and syntax . This movement is not only restricted to the words, but that may take place in phrases as well. These changes involve constrains that governs these changes and the movements process. Syntactic structure is one of the linguistic aspects that are commonly influenced in dialect languages. The structure of the sentence, including all kinds of sentences, is a matter of change in dialect. Much concern is paid to study the notion of interrogatives whether in Arabic dialect or in Gulf Arabic dialect. Since the divers of dialects of Saudi dialects are difficult to be touched, although these dialects are mutually intelligible. One of the two dominant dialects, Hijazi and Najd, can be a good representative of the rest of the sub-dialects. This paper will be a contribution to shed light on the structure of wh- interrogatives in-situ in Najdi Arabic dialect and the movement that takes place in different positions in the sentence

Limitation of Feminine Language in a Society and its Effect on the Foreigner�s Speech during Acquiring Language Aspects (Saudi Arabic Pidgin as a Model)

Tendency to acquire a second second language is a natural process that takes place mostly when people immigrate to another country in which the language is not familiar. Second language acquisition describes people who acquire a language other than their mother tongue as a second language ( Krashin, 1988). Several factors and their influence on the process of acquiring a language were discussed by scholars over long years. Social interaction has been emphasized in second language acquisition theories �Language is learned through social interaction� (Gordon 2004, p. 439). This paper aims at discussing the relation of feminine pronouns limitation in communication and its affect on the acquisition of second language particularly its effect on the Saudi pidgin language. Here the attempt will be devoted to shed light on the effect of the feminine language absence in a conservative community like that in Saudi Arabia. Separation between the two sexes male and female could be a factor that has a great influence on the way of acquiring a language for people who come to contact in a particular community like Saudi one. Absence of one of the two sex�s language could cause misunderstanding of different aspect of a language that cause imperfection in the recognition of some aspects acquired language like pronouns that in turn appear in the outcomes represents in the speech of the learners. Since Robin Lakoff�s Language and Woman�s Place (LWP), published in 1975, which was one of the first publications of its time to address the relationship between language and gender, there has been number of attempts to shed light on this effect. Pidgin and creoles languages are seen in somehow second languages share similar processes of second language acquisition in its stages to creolization which is affected by some factors like male and female�s language.
