Jordanian Arabic is still one of the least studied and documented variants of colloquial Arabic in spite of the recent interest in studying different Arabic dialects and their unique use of metaphors. Jordan as a country consists of many communities, each with its own linguistic environment and its rich repertoires of metaphors that should be given the chance to be studied and documented. This current book is a humble attempt to preserve the cultural-linguistic heritage as well as the spoken dialect of a country that is not well-represented in this field. It should be a step forward to fill the gap in the literature concerning the study of Jordanian Arabic, in addition to be an introduction for those interested in studying Semitic Languages and their different variants and dialects.
