Abstract

A research in the Hebrew language of Israeli Arabs in general and Arab graduates in particular hasn’t received the proper attention on the part of linguists and language policy makers.  The influence of Arabic on Hebrew among Arab graduates is quite powerful in all essential fields of language, such as syntax, morphology, lexicon, and semantics.  In this article I will briefly research the conditions under which Arab students make linguistic mistakes in their Hebrew writing, as a result of semantic influence from Arabic, both literary and spoken.  The utterances I will relate to are not the only ones which Arab graduates make mistakes with, but there are others which depend on how well the Arab graduates master Hebrew
