Abstract

The aim of this paper is to prove that a considerable amount of the Arabic terminology that appears in spoken Hebrew comes, almost in its entirety, from Arabic spoken by Jews in North Africa. Additionally, I will endeavor to explain why these linguistic structures are considered below standard and almost all of them are perceived as having negative connotation, relating this reality to the socio-cultural position of Jews speaking Jewish Arabic, that is, a position marginalized within Israeli society ever since the massive arrival of immigrants from the Arab countries. By analyzing the linguistic penetration of these terms as well as their negative connotation, we may infer that this phenomenon is directly linked to a form of socio-cultural discrimination against such speakers.
