Arabic Influence: Modern Period

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingEntry for encyclopedia/dictionarypeer-review

Abstract

The impact of Arabic on pre-modern Hebrew, most prominently on the Hebrew of the Middle Ages, is well documented. This entry surveys the influence of Arabic (literary, Palestinian, and Jewish Moroccan) on Modern Israeli Hebrew from the 1880s. Two routes of adoption are discussed: planned coining and spontaneous borrowing. Sometimes these routes overlap, i.e., when spontaneous borrowing is standardized retroactively.
