The main target of this article is to examine the impact of Arabic on the Arab authors writing in Hebrew. Specifically it examines their use of words and phrases borrowed from Arabic in literary works that they wrote in Hebrew and their literary translation from Arabic into Hebrew. These words and phrases, which are mostly from spoken Arabic, serve to increase the authentic sense of the Arab culture that the text depicts. Two methods are used to convey the flavor of Arabic culture in Hebrew texts: one involves using Arabic words and phrases without quotation marks, the other technique is less subtle and involves placing quotation marks around the Arabic words and phrases.
