Citations in the corpus
- Intonational pitch accent distribution in Egyptian Arabic. (2006, methodology): “95 SVO is the most commonly observed word order in EA, and strongly preferred over VSO with imperfect verbs (Benmamoun 2000), which were used in the pilot study dataset.”
- Meaningful silence, meaningless sounds. (2004, unknown): “The fact that Russian and Arabic do not have a copula in the present tense, does not mean that clauses like Boris glup ‘Boris [is] stupid’ or Omar mu llim ‘Omar [is] a teacher’ (from Benmamoun 2000:3) lack tense and finiteness.”
- English word recognition and word integration skills of native Arabic- and Japanese-speaking learners of English as a second language (2003, background): “The most common word order in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and other Arab dialects involves head-initial verb phrases in verb–subject–object and subject–verb–object clause structures (Benmamoun, 2000; Mohammad, 2000).”
- The Nom/Acc alternation in Germanic (2006, background): “As we saw above, Ruhr-German and Allemannic varieties are exceptional in this respect, and Standard Arabic is another language with case-marking of full DPs and (some) Acc predicates (see Benmamoun 2000: 43), but these are the only exceptions I am aware of.”
- Non-concatenative morphology as epiphenomenon (2011, background): “In this case it is more parsimonious to assume syntactic movement (as proposed for Arabic by Benmamoun 2000): the past tense attracts the verb to a higher position, while the Present and Future do not, as suggested by the following representations.”
- Gender and number agreement in the oral production of Arabic Heritage speakers* (2012, background): “Thus, the third person plural is realized by both a prefix, which usually carries person, and a suffix, which usually carries number and gender (Benmamoun, 2000; Noyer, 1992).”
