Subject:  Bedouin Arabic dialects in Galilee

Advisor: Prof. Ori Shachmon

Abstract:  In my research I will document the groups of Bedouin dialects in the Galilee through linguistic fieldwork, elicitation and analysis of findings. The Bedouins in the Galilee speak a different type of Arabic than their counterparts in the south of Israel and in my research I will - along with documenting their language - classify them into subgroups by comparing different linguistic elements.
