- W2078486831 abstract "THIS ESSAY IS AN ATTEMPT to understand how linguistic components function in an oral text. It analyzes stoiy recorded from Yemenite Jew, who describes scene from his childhood in Yemen as he remembers it-or as he wants his listeners to conceive it. The language is Yemenite Arabic, yet Hebrew and Judeo-Arabic components are interwoven throughout the text and build linguistic plot which runs parallel to the main plot and modifies the theme.The scene opens with dispute over the payment of the jizyab, the poll tax imposed on Jews. Events then develop into polemic discussion of the superiority of Judaism over Islam. In building the case for Jewish superiority, the stoiy of Abraham's sacrifice of his son is brought up, raising the question of the identity of the offered child. Through calm intellectual discussion, the Jewish boy leads local judge to the conclusion that the sacrificed child ought to have been ibn aooarlfab (son of the noble wife; namely, Sarah) rather than ibn aLjariyah-(son of the concubine; Hagar).* 1The full stoiy, which originally lasted about ten minutes, is appended to this essay in transcription and translation. In what follows I analyze the oral text and its context. Particular attention will be paid to the linguistic usages: I argue that the Hebrew component functions in this text as literaiy device, and that it serves rhetorically to support and intensify the polemic.1. THE RECORDING AND THE INFORMANTI recorded the text in the year 2000 in Oiiyat Eqron, town located in the central coastal plain of Israel. Rabbi Dr. Aharon Ben David, who over the years has contributed greatly to my work with Yemenite immigrants, offered to introduce me to his friend Salim. He called Salim and told him of a girl from Jerusalem studying temonCt (the Yemenite language). I was invited to Salim s house, which, when I arrived, was gradually filling with other members of the local Yemenite community. This group later proved to be an enthusiastic and cheerful audience. I asked Salim whether he could tell of any special-amusing, frightening, peculiar-incident from his life in Yemen. He smiled, gamed eveiybody's attention, and started telling stoiy.2Salim, the main speaker in the text, was Yemenite Jew from Jabal Razih, the high massif which lies on the western edge of the Yemeni highlands, next to the border with Saudi Arabia.3 He was bom in the 1930s in village by the name of Zawiyat Sa'ban,4 close to the government center of Qada' Razih, subprovince in the Province of Sa'dah.5The stoiy was told in the Arabic dialect, which the informant still uses at home and among his fellow Yemenites. This dialect, it should be stressed, belongs to the more progressive and conventional type of dialects which are spoken in the Northern Yemenite province. On and around Jabal Razih there are other more types of Arabic, which demonstrate series of extremely archaic phonological and morphological features.6 Such dialects are often considered by other Yemenites and Saudis to be difficult or even unintelligible.7The few Jewish families of Razib immigrated to Israel around 1950 in the famed Operation on Wings of Eagles.8 The recordings I made with Razihi immigrants reveal that the Jews who arrived from this area did not share those exotic dialectal features described in the above-mentioned literature. These are probably more typical of-or better preserved in - the language of the gabdyil or tribesmen, who live in the many hamlets scattered over the upper slopes of the massif.9 Rather, the Jews of Jabal Râzih, as other Jews of the Northern Province,10 spoke dialects veiy much similar to those spoken by most of the Muslim population of the northern province, viz. the nicht gerade aufregend Sa'dah-type dialects.112. THE PLOTThe plot is set in the Province of Sa'dah in the 1940s. A Jewish boy (Salim, the narrator) runs into local sheikh who demands that he pay the jizyah. …" @default.
