Metrically-conditioned high vowel syncope in Najdi Arabic
Metrically-conditioned high vowel syncope in Najdi Arabic
Our investigation explored the novel findings regarding how high vowel syncope is metrically conditioned in Najdi Arabic (NA), a dialect that is spoken in the Najd province in Saudi Arabia, based on Harmonic Serialism (HS). Our study examined the serial interaction of high vowel syncope and stress/footing, which relies on syllable weight and position in NA. Our findings showed that high vowel syncope in NA occurred in accordance with derivational steps in a feeding order. Moreover, HS is effective for expressing metrically conditioned high vowel syncope in NA.
