Pidgin Arabic as Used by Arab Speakers
2025
Overview
Studies proved the existence of a pidgin used by non-Arabic speakers among themselves and when contacting Arabic speakers. However, examining the use of this pidgin by Arabic speakers is still not well covered. Thus, this paper is an attempt to examine the linguistic features employed by Arabic speakers using the pidgin while dealing with non-Arabic speakers. The data includes 78 WhatsApp voice notes created by 20 male and female Arabic speakers communicating with non-Arabic speakers living in Dammam, Saudi Arabia. The findings show that some lexifier language features are being maintained while others are pidginized. Lexifier language sounds as the pharyngeal, uvular, emphatic, and interdental sounds are maintained, while structure constituents order, affixation, number words agreement are pidginized. More studies are needed to be conducted in this field.
