Abstract

Influence from Modern Hebrew (MH) on written Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) as found in the Israeli-Arab Press in Israel can appear as 1) semantic borrowings; 2) orthographical borrowings; and/or 3) grammatical change in syntax or morphology. The word māHiš appears to be a borrowing into MSA with more than one of these aspects.
