Subject Clitics in Standard
Arabic, Moroccan Arabic, and Tamazight
Abstract Taoufik El-Ayachi’s article is an analysis of subject clitics within the framework of the Minimalist Program and its subsequent theory of Derivation by Phase (cf. Chomsky, 1999) and related studies. The article proposes a different perspective on agreement-like elements in TB and possibly in some pro-drop languages such as Modern Standard Arabic and Moroccan Arabic (hereafter MSA and MA, respectively). |

Gender Differences in
Speech Act Realizations: Congratulating in Tashelhit as a Case Study Khadija Sekka Abstract Khadija Sekkal’s article focuses on the differences between male and female language among Amazigh communities in the South of Morocco. She shows that men tend to be economical and direct in their use of polite formulas, while women make use of a larger number of words because of their social character. In addition, men and women are influenced by other sociolinguistic variables such as age and education. This is clearly seen with young and educated women who use the language of men, and illiterate men who would use the expressions used by the majority of women. |
