| Summary: | This article deals with the incorporation of Hebrew words in the Arabic literary writing of Shokeya Mansour. The present study attempted to answer the question: Does Mansour's integration of Hebrew words into her literary writing reflect the influence of the Hebrew language upon her as a bilingual person, or does it have other functions? The study posits that Mansour does not incorporate Hebrew words into her literary work due to the influence of Hebrew upon her, since Mansour is known for her devotion to the Arabic language, her dedication to the Palestinian people - most of whom live under Israeli occupation - and her strong opposition to the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories. In addition, the article addresses the contact points between languages, Israeli government policy toward Hebrew and Arabic and the motivations that lead members of an occupied nation to adopt the language of the occupier. |
