| Abstract |
The topic of morphological structures of fish names in Arabic dialects remains dramatically understudied. However, one of the most relevant studies on fish names in Arabic dialects was carried out by Giovanni Oman. His work L‘ittionimia nei Paesi Arabi del Mediterraneo (1966) is the richest collection of data that we have on the subject, covering an area stretching from Morocco to Lebanon. While devoting a small number of articles to their etymology, Oman did not attempt a study of the morphological structures offish names. This paper analyzes the four most common morphosyntactic structures of fish names in Tunisian dialects. Where possible, the etymology of the names, whether certain or hypothetical, will be provided. Thedata used in this study are taken from Oman‘s work (1966) in Tunisia and from the author‘s personal research, conducted in October 2018. |
