Adverbs of Time and Place in Yemeni Dialects

Abstract

  This research collects, studies, and analyzes adverbs of time and place in Yemeni dialects to understand their linguistic origins and connotations. It aims to clarify their practical meanings, linguistic roots, and variations across dialects. Driven by the prevalence and diversity of these adverbs in everyday Yemeni life, the study employs direct auditory collection from diverse environments and consults Arabic lexicons. Using an inductive and descriptive-analytical approach, the research is divided into sections on adverbs of time and place. Key findings highlight the diversity and regional variation of these adverbs, their similarities across many dialects, and their classical Arabic origins with phonetic and morphological changes over time.
