Dear List members

There are the URLs for a few websites that have lists of hundreds of Arabic
names. The only potential problem is that they use English transliteration
rather than Arabic letters. I think these sites are suffiecent, just check
them out.

Subject: Coordination in Egyptian Arabic query

[reposted from LINGUIST.  Please respond directly to queryer, as well
as to Arabic-L if you believe your response is of general interest.]

Diesing and Jelinek (1995) observes that in Egyptian Arabic, pronouns
are always cliticized to the verb and that the verb has to be
duplicated when pronouns are coordinated, as shown in (1). The
interesting point is that (1b) may refer to only one event, despite
the double occurrence of the verb.

(1) a. *saaf-u   wi   hiyya
         saw-him  and  she
     b. saaf-u   wi  saaf-ha
        saw-him  and saw-her
I would appreciate if I could get further references on such
phenomenon in Egyptian Arabic or other languages.

Dear Ms. Smith/Kocamahhul:

I cannot answer your question but, since James Kritzeck was at the
University of Utah a number of years the Middle East collection of
the library there must certainly have his book or know where to find
it.

You can enquire at  medesk at library.utah.edu

If you want to e-mail the Middle East Center at Utah the address is
mec at mail.hum.utah.edu

Good luck!

Hi,

There is a growing tendency to distribute Arabic files in MS Word
(Arabic) format. But what about those of us who operate on systems
other than MS Arabic or Arabic enabled Windows?

Are there any converters that allow me to access such files on other
systems? I am particularly interested in how to deal with them on a
Mac.

Question presupposes, of course, that I cannot contact the author of
the file and ask him/her for a more compatible version (such as pure
text or PDF)

Thank you,

Dear sir/madam

I have two enquiries:
1. Are there any corpus of translated arabic texts to
english and vice versa by native speakers of Arabic
and native speakers of English as I intend to do a
contrastive study between the two languages.
2. If not translation compositions again by native
speakers of English writing in Arabic and by native
speakers of Arabic writing in English. Hopefully with
corrections.
3. Are there any books or articles dealing with error
analysis and comparing the two languages in their
written form.

Yours sincerly,

In the recent discussion about the use of the word "Allah" in reference to the
divinity amongst Arab Christians, Muslims, and Jews, it was noted that Iranian
Muslims use, along with the borrowed Arabic term, the native Persian word
/xodaa/.

Do the religious minorities in Iran - Jews, Christians, Baha'is, and
Zoroastrians - also use this term, aside from formulaic usage such as "khoda
hafez i shomaa"?

Do they all also use the borrowed Arabic term (as do the Baha'is)?

    FOURTH ANNUAL CALIFORNIA REGIONAL MIDDLE EAST STUDIES CONFERENCE
                   An Interdisciplinary Conference
                      Saturday, March 23, 2002
                            hosted by
                the Center for Middle East Studies
              University of California, Santa Barbara


The Center for Middle East Studies at the University of California, Santa
Barbara, is pleased to announce UCSB's fourth annual interdisciplinary
conference on the Middle East to be held on Saturday, March 23, 2002.

Proposals on ALL topics in the field of Middle East Studies are welcome.
This year, however, we are particularly interested in receiving proposals
related to two themes around which the program committee hopes to create
several panels:

      (1) Cultural Connections between the Middle East and South Asia

      (2) The Impact of 9/11 on the Field of Middle East Studies

As with our three previous annual conferences, this conference is designed
primarily to bring together faculty and graduate students from colleges
and universities within the state of California (including the campuses of
the University of California and California State University systems, as
well as private institutions); however, scholars from throughout the
western United States are welcome.  Last year's conference was attended by
faculty and students from 26 different universities and colleges.

The unrestricted historical scope and broad geographic parameters of the
conference aim at promoting dialogue and exchange across the fullest
possible spectrum of disciplines by approaching the <<Middle East>> in its
most inclusive conceptualization, one that includes ancient religions and
peoples, Islamic studies, early and Eastern Christianity, Middle Eastern
Judaisms (Biblical, Hellenistic, Sephardic, & Mizrahi as well as modern
Israel), as well as linguistically defined fields such as Arabic,
Armenian, Byzantine, Hebrew, Kurdish, Persian, and Turkish studies, and
the full range of academic disciplines, including archaeology, history,
literary studies, anthropology, political science, sociology, economics,
environmental studies, global studies, international relations, and
others.

The conference schedule includes two different types of sessions:

   (1) panels for the presentation of individual research papers; and,

   (2) working groups of faculty members aimed at promoting collaborative
research projects, pedagogical discussions, and the coordination of
resources among campuses.  Examples of working groups that have been
convened at previous conferences include:

      -- Gender and Citizenship in Muslim Communities
      -- Classical Antiquity and the Middle East
      -- Andalusian/Medieval Iberian Studies
      -- Middle Eastern Judaisms (Sephardi & Mizrahi cultures)
      -- Teaching Middle Eastern Languages
      -- Islam in the Undergraduate Curriculum
      -- Medieval Middle Eastern Studies
      -- The Politics of Memory (a book forum)
      -- Teaching and Writing about the `Difficult Subjects':
           Honor Killings, Veiling, Female Circumcision, Women and Shari`ah law
      -- Iran since the Revolution



                  CALL FOR PAPERS AND/OR WORKING GROUPS

We are now soliciting applications for participants to present a research
papers and/or convene a working group.  Although conference attendance is
open to the general public, paper presenters and conveners of working
groups must be FACULTY MEMBERS OR GRADUATE STUDENTS.

      * Research papers are to be BRIEF (15-minute) reports on current
research so as to allow more time for question-and-answer sessions than is
typical at many conferences.  To submit a research paper topic, please
fill out the form below with a title and a 250-word abstract and return NO
LATER THAN JANUARY 15, 2002.  We strongly encourage you to apply by EMAIL.

At UMIST, there is a corpus of translated English from different
languages among which Arabic. The translations are mostly by
native speakers of English and probably by translators whose
language of usage is English.

In at least two Persian translations of the Christian New Testament,
'xodaa'  is used to translate 'ho theos' and 'xodaavand' for 'ho
kurios' (where 'allaah' and 'rabb' are used in the Arabic
translations). I am not aware of Jewish usage, but in a Judeo-Persian
edition of the New Testament the same word (kwd') is used. The
Persian word 'parvardegaar' (lit., 'nourisher') is also used as a
name of God.

Cheers,

Dan.

Pronouns in Arabic fall into two broad  categories: independent pronouns like
/ana/ 'I', /inta/ 'you masc.sing'. hiyya 'she' etc.  and cliticized pronouns
as '-ni' 'me' ,  /-na/ 'us'.  Indepndent pronouns have inherent nominative
case whereas clitcized pronouns can be either nominative, accusative or
genitive case.  pronouns can be  cliticized to verbs and  prepositions.

The ungrammaticality of (1a) is because 'hiyya' as in independent pronoun has
inherent nominative case, whereas the pronominal suffix -u is assigned
accusative case by virtue of being in an Argument position and governed by
the verb /shaaf/ . Coordinates have to be of the same syntactic category and
agree in case as well. Hence Arabic follows the universal principle that
requires coordinates to be of the same type.

(1b) does not necessarily refer to only one event. Consider:

(2) shaaf-u imbaariH  wishaf-ha innaharda ' he saw him yesterday and saw her
today'
The more acceptable way of saying 'He saw him and her' is shown below:

(3) shaaf-u  huwwa wi hiyya  ' He saw him and her'

Notice that in (3) both pronouns are of the same type (independent pronouns)
and both have inherent nominative case. Moreover neither of the pronouns in
(3) is adjacent to the verb which is a case assignor.    So there is no
violation of the Universal principle.

  Consider the difference in the grammaticality of (4a) and (4b).   The
sentence in (4a)  shows that the independent pronoun /hiyya/  cannot occupy
the argument position of the complement of the verb and that the verb fails
to assign accusative case to it whereas in (5b) the pronominal suffix is
governed by the verb and assigned accusative case  which renders the sentence
grammatical.

(4a) *ahmad shaaf hiyya
          Ahmed saw her
(4b) ahmad  shaf-ha
          Ahmed saw her

  These observations also hold for most Arabic varieties including Classical
Arabic and Modern Standard Arabic.  The Interesting point here is that
pronominal clitics and independent pronouns are not considered to be of the
same type in Arabic.  More research is needed in this area.

Greetings Albrecht Hofheinz,
One thing you could do if convert the Arabic Word.doc
file into a PDF from your Macintosh. You would import
the Arabic Word file into an Arabic program, and then
"Save As PDF".
Another possible option is to check if there is a
Word-viewer utility available for Macintosh. But my
guess if such a word-viewer utility were available,
the file may not display correctly without the
original fonts active on your system.

the latest Mac system supports Arabic, but not older versions.
they need Language kit to view the file. However there are some
ways out of this if the purpose is converting only.

The following statement is incorrect:
"Egyptian Arabic pronouns are always cliticized to the verb".

As Farghali points out, there are two types of pronouns, the
independent and the suffix.
It is only the second kind, the suffix, that is a clitic.
Thus the statement should be:
Egyptian Arabic clitic pronouns are always cliticized to the verb.

The statement "The interesting point is that (1b) may refer to
only one event, despite the double occurrence of the verb" is
in my opinion a question of semantics.

The utterance "shaaf-u wi shaf-ha" is somewhat contrived.
It would seem to me that "shaf-hum" would work.
The context might be sufficient to indicate the referent
of "hum", just as it would the referent of "him and her".

Concerning the number of events in "shaf-hum" or
"shaaf-u wi shaf-ha", I would not agree that either of
these necessarily refers to one event.  Either one can
refer to one event or more.

How many events are in "he saw him and her"?
Were both of them sighted at the same time, or was
one sighted just before the other?

ARABIC SCHOOL

MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE

SUMMER 2002

June 14 – August 16



The Arabic School at Middlebury College is now accepting applications
for the summer session of 2002.   The nine-week program extends from
June 14 – August 16. Students are placed in various levels based on
oral and written placement tests in addition to transcripts and
recommendation letters.  Tuition and fees, which include room and
board, are $6,626.  Financial aid from Middlebury College is
available on a first come first served basis, and is allocated
according to financial need.



The Arabic School curriculum emphasizes reading, speaking, writing,
listening and culture, all of which are practiced naturally in and
out of class.  Students sign a pledge to use Arabic for communication
during the entire session.  Thanks to the Language Pledge, the total
immersion approach, and the diversity of curricular and co-curricular
activities, students not only learn Arabic, they live Arabic.  The
lively variety of activities and lectures, and cultural and social
events, Arab dishes and picnics, screening of Arabic films, cultural
clubs and live broadcast of Arab television channels provide
experience in all facets of the Arabic language and culture.



For more detailed information and to obtain application forms and
brochures, we encourage you to log on to the Arabic School website at
<http://www.middlebury.edu/~ls/Arabic/index.html>http://www.middlebury.edu/~ls/Arabic/index.html

You may also contact us by E-mail at

Subject: cotton products query

A specification of cotton products (mainly underwear) from different
Syrian factories given to me for translation includes a good deal of
words unknown even to native Syrians in Belgrade. My email to a
producer brought no result so far. Could I possibly post a list of
these words on hope to get direct answers from the colleagues? At
last, that is a certain sort of terminology -- a part of, isn't that?

If yes, here are some of those article names:

saaq: saaq wilaadii 35% quTn
3arD qamiiS: 3arD qamiiS rijaalii kum Tawiil
Hafr: tii-shirt rijaalii Hafr 'abyaD
muuns: qamiiS wlaadii kum Tawiil muuns
kaab: kaab b.b. 65% quTn 35% Hariir
al-wursha: Sadaara b.b. al-wursha [or Haraam b.b. al-wursha]
muTabba3: Taqm banaatii shayyaal muTabba3
bruutiil: bruutiil banaatii/nisaa'ii muTarraz
muTayyaf: kiiluut nisaa'ii muTayyaf sukkarii
shar3ii: shuurt niswaanii 'aswad shar3ii
mukallaf: burnuS rijaalii/wilaadii mukallaf
binTaal: binTaal banaatii munaffash

The worst are "saaq", "bruutiil" and "kaab" whatever may they mean.

ARABIC SCHOOL

MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE

SUMMER 2002

June 14 – August 16



The Arabic School at Middlebury College is now accepting applications
for the summer session of 2002.   The nine-week program extends from
June 14 – August 16. Students are placed in various levels based on
oral and written placement tests in addition to transcripts and
recommendation letters.  Tuition and fees, which include room and
board, are $6,626.  Financial aid from Middlebury College is
available on a first come first served basis, and is allocated
according to financial need.



The Arabic School curriculum emphasizes reading, speaking, writing,
listening and culture, all of which are practiced naturally in and
out of class.  Students sign a pledge to use Arabic for communication
during the entire session.  Thanks to the Language Pledge, the total
immersion approach, and the diversity of curricular and co-curricular
activities, students not only learn Arabic, they live Arabic.  The
lively variety of activities and lectures, and cultural and social
events, Arab dishes and picnics, screening of Arabic films, cultural
clubs and live broadcast of Arab television channels provide
experience in all facets of the Arabic language and culture.



For more detailed information and to obtain application forms and
brochures, we encourage you to log on to the Arabic School website at
<http://www.middlebury.edu/~ls/Arabic/index.html>http://www.middlebury.edu/~ls/Arabic/index.html

You may also contact us by E-mail at
<mailto:languages at middlebury.edu>languages at middlebury.edu or by
calling the Arabic School coordinator at (802) 443-2006

From: Eloise Jelinek <jelinek at U.Arizona.EDU>
Subject: Coordination in EA

We would like to correct a couple of misstatements concerning Diesing and
Jelinek  (Natural Language Semantics 1995, 3:177-210).  The authors make
it clear (p. 133), that there are two kinds of pronouns in Egyptian
Arabic, the free-standing subject pronouns, vs. the encliticized object
(and possessive) pronouns.  The point we want to make is precisely the
contrast between these two pronoun types.

And on p. 168, in Exp. (72), there is no claim concerning a simultaneous
event.  We point out that while
         (72) a.  *shaaf-u wi hiyya
is incorrect, it is possible to say
         (72) b.  shaaf-u wi shaaf-ha
if one wishes to say "He saw [both] him and her".  Of course /shaaf-hum/
"He saw them" would be more natural, and (72b) would be used only to make
explicit that both a masculine and feminine object were included.  But
Diesing and Jelinek make no claim that this must be used in reference to a
single event; it could refer to two separate events of seeing.

Aside from these misquotes, we have found other discussion on these points
relevant and interesting.

Eloise Jelinek and Molly Diesing

It seems to me that the problem causing the ungrammaticality of
     *shaaf-u wi hiyya
is that it is a coordination of two different grammatical types -  a
clitic pronoun and a full pronoun.  If one wanted to say I saw him and
her one would follow the suggesion of Jelinek and Deising, but add an
explication as follows
     shaaf-hum, huwa wi hiyya

Can someone help me?  I am studying Arabic, so I listened to the sad and
disturbing video tape broadcaster by the USA government of Osama ibn Ladin's
dialogue.  My question is about dialect.  Which dialect does Osama speak?
Both Osama and the sheyk sound Egyptian Arabic.  Are sounds like "eh"
replacing  "ih" or "ah" in some words used in Saudi Arabia?

Can someone recommend the best text on Saudi Arabic language and its
dialects?
Shukran!

Subject:  A.F.L. Beeston is a guy

On seeing his long gray hair some might have momentarily thought
A.F.L. Beeston to be a woman.  However, he was born and remained
until his death in 1995, Alfred Felix Landon Beeston, a man and a
remarkable scholar.

I missed the original message about women authorities on Arabic
grammar and cannot be sure of answering the question author asked by
the author.  To take a stab at it though, I can think of three women
scholars - all American or European - off the top of my head: Janet
C. E. Watson of Durham University in England, one of the few experts
of Yemeni Arabic; Karin Ryding of Georgetown University; and Kristen
Brustad of Emory University and Al-Kitaab textbook fame.

To Professor Michael Schub, who taught me very very briefly, I wish
all the best.

Davidson MacLaren

[moderator's note: the original query asked for "references on the
contributions of women scholars to classical Arabic grammar".  I
suppose it is not clear whether the intention was women in the
classical period, or modern women who study the classical period--Dil]

Dear Mike,
The late Alfred ('Freddie') Felix Landon Beeston (1911-1995), who was the
Laudian Professor of Arabic at the University of Oxford between 1957 and
1979, was indeed British, but also unquestionably of the male persuasion!

Subject: Coordination in Egyptian Arabic query

[reposted from LINGUIST.  Please respond directly to queryer, as well
as to Arabic-L if you believe your response is of general interest.]

Diesing and Jelinek (1995) observes that in Egyptian Arabic, pronouns
are always cliticized to the verb and that the verb has to be
duplicated when pronouns are coordinated, as shown in (1). The
interesting point is that (1b) may refer to only one event, despite
the double occurrence of the verb.

(1) a. *saaf-u   wi   hiyya
         saw-him  and  she
     b. saaf-u   wi  saaf-ha
        saw-him  and saw-her
I would appreciate if I could get further references on such
phenomenon in Egyptian Arabic or other languages.

Hi,

There is a growing tendency to distribute Arabic files in MS Word
(Arabic) format. But what about those of us who operate on systems
other than MS Arabic or Arabic enabled Windows?

Are there any converters that allow me to access such files on other
systems? I am particularly interested in how to deal with them on a
Mac.

Question presupposes, of course, that I cannot contact the author of
the file and ask him/her for a more compatible version (such as pure
text or PDF)

Thank you,

2. If not translation compositions again by native

corrections.
3. Are there any books or articles dealing with error

Subject: khoda usage query

In the recent discussion about the use of the word "Allah" in reference to the
divinity amongst Arab Christians, Muslims, and Jews, it was noted that Iranian
Muslims use, along with the borrowed Arabic term, the native Persian word
/xodaa/.

Do the religious minorities in Iran - Jews, Christians, Baha'is, and
Zoroastrians - also use this term, aside from formulaic usage such as "khoda
hafez i shomaa"?

Do they all also use the borrowed Arabic term (as do the Baha'is)?

    FOURTH ANNUAL CALIFORNIA REGIONAL MIDDLE EAST STUDIES CONFERENCE
                   An Interdisciplinary Conference
                      Saturday, March 23, 2002
                            hosted by
                the Center for Middle East Studies
              University of California, Santa Barbara


The Center for Middle East Studies at the University of California, Santa
Barbara, is pleased to announce UCSB's fourth annual interdisciplinary
conference on the Middle East to be held on Saturday, March 23, 2002.

Proposals on ALL topics in the field of Middle East Studies are welcome.
This year, however, we are particularly interested in receiving proposals
related to two themes around which the program committee hopes to create
several panels:

      (1) Cultural Connections between the Middle East and South Asia

      (2) The Impact of 9/11 on the Field of Middle East Studies

As with our three previous annual conferences, this conference is designed
primarily to bring together faculty and graduate students from colleges
and universities within the state of California (including the campuses of
the University of California and California State University systems, as
well as private institutions); however, scholars from throughout the
western United States are welcome.  Last year's conference was attended by
faculty and students from 26 different universities and colleges.

The unrestricted historical scope and broad geographic parameters of the
conference aim at promoting dialogue and exchange across the fullest
possible spectrum of disciplines by approaching the <<Middle East>> in its
most inclusive conceptualization, one that includes ancient religions and
peoples, Islamic studies, early and Eastern Christianity, Middle Eastern
Judaisms (Biblical, Hellenistic, Sephardic, & Mizrahi as well as modern
Israel), as well as linguistically defined fields such as Arabic,
Armenian, Byzantine, Hebrew, Kurdish, Persian, and Turkish studies, and
the full range of academic disciplines, including archaeology, history,
literary studies, anthropology, political science, sociology, economics,
environmental studies, global studies, international relations, and
others.

The conference schedule includes two different types of sessions:

   (1) panels for the presentation of individual research papers; and,

   (2) working groups of faculty members aimed at promoting collaborative
research projects, pedagogical discussions, and the coordination of
resources among campuses.  Examples of working groups that have been
convened at previous conferences include:

      -- Gender and Citizenship in Muslim Communities
      -- Classical Antiquity and the Middle East
      -- Andalusian/Medieval Iberian Studies
      -- Middle Eastern Judaisms (Sephardi & Mizrahi cultures)
      -- Teaching Middle Eastern Languages
      -- Islam in the Undergraduate Curriculum
      -- Medieval Middle Eastern Studies
      -- The Politics of Memory (a book forum)
      -- Teaching and Writing about the `Difficult Subjects':
           Honor Killings, Veiling, Female Circumcision, Women and Shari`ah law
      -- Iran since the Revolution



                  CALL FOR PAPERS AND/OR WORKING GROUPS

We are now soliciting applications for participants to present a research
papers and/or convene a working group.  Although conference attendance is
open to the general public, paper presenters and conveners of working
groups must be FACULTY MEMBERS OR GRADUATE STUDENTS.

      * Research papers are to be BRIEF (15-minute) reports on current
research so as to allow more time for question-and-answer sessions than is
typical at many conferences.  To submit a research paper topic, please
fill out the form below with a title and a 250-word abstract and return NO
LATER THAN JANUARY 15, 2002.  We strongly encourage you to apply by EMAIL.

      * To convene a working group please fill out the form below with a
brief description of the focus of the group (up to 100 words) and include
the names of at least TWO other participants who have agreed to attend by
JANUARY 15, 2002.  Again, we strongly encourage you to apply by
email. The topics for the various working groups will be publicized
to all participants after February 1 in the conference schedule and on the
conference website.

Logistics: Participants should plan to arrive on Friday, March 22, 2002 or
(in the case of those driving from LA) very early on Saturday, March 23.
The conference will begin at 8:30 AM and will run until 6:30 in the
evening.  Following this there will be a dinner and a concert of Middle
Eastern music and dance performed by the UCSB Middle East Ensemble.
Travel and hotel information will be supplied to all potential
participants.

Paper presenters and conveners of working groups will be provided with two
nights lodging at a nearby hotel, reimbursement of travel expenses up to a
maximum of $250, as well as their meals during the day of the conference.

In at least two Persian translations of the Christian New Testament,
'xodaa'  is used to translate 'ho theos' and 'xodaavand' for 'ho
kurios' (where 'allaah' and 'rabb' are used in the Arabic
translations). I am not aware of Jewish usage, but in a Judeo-Persian
edition of the New Testament the same word (kwd') is used. The
Persian word 'parvardegaar' (lit., 'nourisher') is also used as a
name of God.

Cheers,

Dan.

Pronouns in Arabic fall into two broad  categories: independent pronouns like
/ana/ 'I', /inta/ 'you masc.sing'. hiyya 'she' etc.  and cliticized pronouns
as '-ni' 'me' ,  /-na/ 'us'.  Indepndent pronouns have inherent nominative
case whereas clitcized pronouns can be either nominative, accusative or
genitive case.  pronouns can be  cliticized to verbs and  prepositions.

The ungrammaticality of (1a) is because 'hiyya' as in independent pronoun has
inherent nominative case, whereas the pronominal suffix -u is assigned
accusative case by virtue of being in an Argument position and governed by
the verb /shaaf/ . Coordinates have to be of the same syntactic category and
agree in case as well. Hence Arabic follows the universal principle that
requires coordinates to be of the same type.

(1b) does not necessarily refer to only one event. Consider:

(2) shaaf-u imbaariH  wishaf-ha innaharda ' he saw him yesterday and saw her
today'
The more acceptable way of saying 'He saw him and her' is shown below:

(3) shaaf-u  huwwa wi hiyya  ' He saw him and her'

Notice that in (3) both pronouns are of the same type (independent pronouns)
and both have inherent nominative case. Moreover neither of the pronouns in
(3) is adjacent to the verb which is a case assignor.    So there is no
violation of the Universal principle.

  Consider the difference in the grammaticality of (4a) and (4b).   The
sentence in (4a)  shows that the independent pronoun /hiyya/  cannot occupy
the argument position of the complement of the verb and that the verb fails
to assign accusative case to it whereas in (5b) the pronominal suffix is
governed by the verb and assigned accusative case  which renders the sentence
grammatical.

(4a) *ahmad shaaf hiyya
          Ahmed saw her
(4b) ahmad  shaf-ha
          Ahmed saw her

  These observations also hold for most Arabic varieties including Classical
Arabic and Modern Standard Arabic.  The Interesting point here is that
pronominal clitics and independent pronouns are not considered to be of the
same type in Arabic.  More research is needed in this area.

Greetings Albrecht Hofheinz,
One thing you could do if convert the Arabic Word.doc
file into a PDF from your Macintosh. You would import
the Arabic Word file into an Arabic program, and then
"Save As PDF".
Another possible option is to check if there is a
Word-viewer utility available for Macintosh. But my
guess if such a word-viewer utility were available,
the file may not display correctly without the
original fonts active on your system.

the latest Mac system supports Arabic, but not older versions.
they need Language kit to view the file. However there are some
ways out of this if the purpose is converting only.

The following statement is incorrect:
"Egyptian Arabic pronouns are always cliticized to the verb".

As Farghali points out, there are two types of pronouns, the
independent and the suffix.
It is only the second kind, the suffix, that is a clitic.
Thus the statement should be:
Egyptian Arabic clitic pronouns are always cliticized to the verb.

The statement "The interesting point is that (1b) may refer to
only one event, despite the double occurrence of the verb" is
in my opinion a question of semantics.

The utterance "shaaf-u wi shaf-ha" is somewhat contrived.
It would seem to me that "shaf-hum" would work.
The context might be sufficient to indicate the referent
of "hum", just as it would the referent of "him and her".

Concerning the number of events in "shaf-hum" or
"shaaf-u wi shaf-ha", I would not agree that either of
these necessarily refers to one event.  Either one can
refer to one event or more.

How many events are in "he saw him and her"?
Were both of them sighted at the same time, or was
one sighted just before the other?

A specification of cotton products (mainly underwear) from different
Syrian factories given to me for translation includes a good deal of
words unknown even to native Syrians in Belgrade. My email to a
producer brought no result so far. Could I possibly post a list of
these words on hope to get direct answers from the colleagues? At
last, that is a certain sort of terminology -- a part of, isn't that?

If yes, here are some of those article names:

saaq: saaq wilaadii 35% quTn
3arD qamiiS: 3arD qamiiS rijaalii kum Tawiil
Hafr: tii-shirt rijaalii Hafr 'abyaD

kaab: kaab b.b. 65% quTn 35% Hariir

Subject: Coordination in EA

We would like to correct a couple of misstatements concerning Diesing and
Jelinek  (Natural Language Semantics 1995, 3:177-210).  The authors make
it clear (p. 133), that there are two kinds of pronouns in Egyptian
Arabic, the free-standing subject pronouns, vs. the encliticized object
(and possessive) pronouns.  The point we want to make is precisely the
contrast between these two pronoun types.

And on p. 168, in Exp. (72), there is no claim concerning a simultaneous
event.  We point out that while
         (72) a.  *shaaf-u wi hiyya
is incorrect, it is possible to say
         (72) b.  shaaf-u wi shaaf-ha
if one wishes to say "He saw [both] him and her".  Of course /shaaf-hum/
"He saw them" would be more natural, and (72b) would be used only to make
explicit that both a masculine and feminine object were included.  But
Diesing and Jelinek make no claim that this must be used in reference to a
single event; it could refer to two separate events of seeing.

Aside from these misquotes, we have found other discussion on these points
relevant and interesting.

Eloise Jelinek and Molly Diesing

Could you please tell me what do you know about el-Zanaty Khalifa ?
Does the word 'zanaty' mean anything in Arabic?

Subject: Coordination in EA

It seems to me that the problem causing the ungrammaticality of
     *shaaf-u wi hiyya
is that it is a coordination of two different grammatical types -  a
clitic pronoun and a full pronoun.  If one wanted to say I saw him and
her one would follow the suggesion of Jelinek and Deising, but add an
explication as follows
     shaaf-hum, huwa wi hiyya

I was waiting for others who are more knowledgeable to answer - but the
first thing that jumped out at me was that "saaq" is probably "socks". (Note
that this is only a guess...)

Subject: query on Osama's dialect;  SA dialect query

Can someone help me?  I am studying Arabic, so I listened to the sad and
disturbing video tape broadcaster by the USA government of Osama ibn Ladin's
dialogue.  My question is about dialect.  Which dialect does Osama speak?
Both Osama and the sheyk sound Egyptian Arabic.  Are sounds like "eh"
replacing  "ih" or "ah" in some words used in Saudi Arabia?

Can someone recommend the best text on Saudi Arabic language and its
dialects?
Shukran!
Frantz

Subject:  A.F.L. Beeston is a guy

On seeing his long gray hair some might have momentarily thought
A.F.L. Beeston to be a woman.  However, he was born and remained
until his death in 1995, Alfred Felix Landon Beeston, a man and a
remarkable scholar.

I missed the original message about women authorities on Arabic
grammar and cannot be sure of answering the question author asked by
the author.  To take a stab at it though, I can think of three women
scholars - all American or European - off the top of my head: Janet
C. E. Watson of Durham University in England, one of the few experts
of Yemeni Arabic; Karin Ryding of Georgetown University; and Kristen
Brustad of Emory University and Al-Kitaab textbook fame.

To Professor Michael Schub, who taught me very very briefly, I wish
all the best.

Davidson MacLaren

[moderator's note: the original query asked for "references on the
contributions of women scholars to classical Arabic grammar".  I
suppose it is not clear whether the intention was women in the
classical period, or modern women who study the classical period--Dil]

Dear Mike,
The late Alfred ('Freddie') Felix Landon Beeston (1911-1995), who was the
Laudian Professor of Arabic at the University of Oxford between 1957 and
1979, was indeed British, but also unquestionably of the male persuasion!
Best regards,
Daniel Newman
