We explore two stance-taking patterns in casual Hebrew conversation involving ya′ani/ya′anu, a discourse marker originating in colloquial Arabic. In the first, ya′ani/ya′anu, the same as Arabic yaʕni (lit. ‘it means’), frames reformulations of prior discourse serving to enhance interpersonal involvement and mutuality regarding the interlocutor's stance toward what has been said, thereby constructing intersubjectivity. The second pattern consists of a prosodic variant, ya′ani/ya′anu, functioning as a double-voiced ironic hedge. The latter is an innovation of Hebrew, brought about by its functional association with Hebrew ke′ilu ‘like’. The two uses of ya′ani/ya′anu elucidate two different processes that discourse markers in language contact situations may undergo: persistence of lexically motivated metalingual meaning, and extension of lexically unmotivated meaning. The considerably low frequency of ya′ani/ya′anu vis-à-vis ke′ilu is explained by its devaluated social meaning in current Israeli discourse, as an index of nonhegemonic religious and ethnic groups such as Arabs and Mizrahi Jews.

通过 ya'ani / ya'anu 采取立场:希伯来语-阿拉伯语接触情境中的话语标记

我们探讨了随意的希伯来语对话中的两种立场模式,包括雅妮/亚努,源自口语阿拉伯语的话语标记。首先,'阿尼/'阿努, 同阿拉伯语雅尼(字面意思是“它的意思”),对先前的话语进行重新表述,以增强人际参与和关于对话者对所说内容的立场的相互性,从而构建主体间性。第二种模式由韵律变体组成,'一种/'一种,起到双重声音讽刺对冲的作用。后者是希伯来语的创新,由其与希伯来语的功能联系所带来克卢'喜欢'。的两种用途雅妮/亚努阐明语言接触情境中的话语标记可能经历的两个不同过程:词汇动机元语言意义的持久性和词汇非动机意义的扩展。相当低的频率雅妮/亚努相对克卢在当前以色列话语中,它被贬低的社会意义被解释为非霸权宗教和种族群体的指标,如阿拉伯人和米兹拉希犹太人。(话语标记、语言接触、采取立场、(重新)表述、反讽、元语言、索引性、主体间性)*
