Analogy and language contact represent endogenous and exogenous factors of language change. Although both processes have been discussed in the realm of Arabic dialectology, they are usually treated as two unrelated scenarios. The central question that this study posits is whether those are two functionally independent phenomena, or they can operate synergetically. The primary focus of this paper is two typologically distinct Jewish dialects, i.e. sedentary Gabes (Southern Tunisia), and exhibiting numerous Bedouin features Wad-Souf (Eastern Algeria). Based on new data obtained from fieldwork, this paper accounts for five cases of grammar evolution within verb morphology and syntax through the lens of analogy and language contact. It raises the possibility that under certain circumstances, language change can occur at the intersection of endogenous and exogenous factors.

This is the first edition of Ola Watowa's unpublished journal written between 1955 and 1956. It covers a stressful period of in the Wats’ married life when, following Aleksander being diagnosed with a rare psychosomatic condition, the couple moved to southern France, where he sought relief from bouts of physical pain and mental anxiety. Ola's Travel Diary is a record of day-to-day struggles, despair, helplessness, and the restorative power of the creative process. This narration of a woman motivated by empathy and determined to make sacrifices to support her husband’s artistic career has the potential to inspire studies focused on that type of biography and the role of sacrifice in marriage.
