Analysing data from a variety of sources, including soap operas, movies, plays, talk shows and other audiovisual material, this book examines attitude datives - interpersonal pragmatic markers that deal with interpersonal attitudes and relations - in Levantine Arabic. It examines four types of attitude datives: topic/affectee-oriented, speaker-oriented, hearer-oriented, and subject-oriented. Examining the contextual factors that inform and are informed by their use, this innovative book deepens our understanding of the interaction between social dimensions and pragmatic markers, and provides a valuable non-European perspective on language use.
