Reinventing Negation Patterns in Moroccan Arabic
Abstract
The present chapter examines how new negation patterns are created in Moroccan Arabic in the Oujda region, North East Morocco, through contact
with Berber (Tarifit language, North Morocco, see Figure 1).1 The discussed cases concern contact-induced innovation processes in Moroccan
Arabic negation, through which the morphological data as well as the syntactic structuring and semantic functioning have been modified by analogy
with Berber negation.
