English Abstract

-This study is purely a phonological study of elision in the daily speech of speakers of Dhiban-Alalia.

It aims at identifying and investigating the individual segments and the various sorts of syllables which are subsumed under elision in this dialect.

It is assumed that types of phonemes and syllables undergoing elision are divergent in this variety.

On the same footing, elision has inevitable an effective hand on the concatenation of phonemes and across word-boundary, syllabic patterning and syllabification.To realize the objectives and questions of the current study, the researcher has adopted two research instruments: recordings and interviews.

As for the latter, data are collected to provide information related to three possible dimensions: the first one is to concern with the demographical side of people setting in Dhiban-Al-alia, next, the dialectical side concerning the dialect contact among speakers of this area.

The last one is to shed light on the attitudinal side according to which negative or positives attitudes can be made.

The former instrument is designed on the researcher's personal observations part to listen to elided sounds when they are uttered in the informants' daily speech.

To reach satisfactory consequences, the researcher has carried out an analysis of two kinds: a tabulated analyses in which the elided segments and syllables are shown and elided syllables types are distributed, and an analysis in percentage elucidating in which words elision records high and low frequency
