English Abstract
This research aims at investigating the impact of Hebrew on spoken Arabic in the northern West Bank of Palestine, with a focus on Palestinian workers whose daily jobs take them into the Palestinian territories occupied in 1948.
The study seeks to examine the reasons behind the replacement of Arabic technical terms with their Hebrew counterparts among these workers and whether this language model is limited to workers themselves or to the community at large.
Building on this, the study poses important questions about the possible impact of these coinages on the Arab Palestinian identity.
The study is based on a series of semi-structured interviews with 17 Palestinian laborers who work in various manual jobs inside Israel.
Results have revealed that the use of Hebrew technical terms is widely spread among Palestinians where this language model is widely spread among Palestinians in the West Bank, with some more prevalence among the construction workers who have access to inside 1948 occupied Palestine.
There are also some words that are commonly used by other West Bankers who do not access 1948 territories, however the study also reveal that the spread of this language model in daily spoken words is limited to some few words that most of them were first known to Palestinians with their Hebrew names.
