| description | This study analyses the use of connectives in the World Wide Arabic corpus of selected Gulf
countries. The corpus was made up of words from selected Arabic sites based on Arabic seed-words which
are parallel to English. A quantitative method was employed in analysing the Arabic connectives extracted from
the word lists prepared using SketchEngine. The results revealed that connectives, particularly huruf al-jar
(prepositions), were on the top ten list for the most frequent words used in all corpora irrespective
of country and genre. The study also shows that some of the connectives that are commonly taught in Arabic
language classes are not found in the corpus. |
