Dear Dr Malek Boualem;

Most of the Arabic and other Arabic script based
Languages like Pashto, Farsi, Urdu and many others
I have come across, utilize the CP1256, GIF or PDF.

In case of Arabic, since it was supported by Windows
3.x, 95, 98 and now 2000, I can assume that 80% are
using code page 1256, 20% may use PDF or GIF.
Also that percentage may apply to Farsi.

Urdu web site are 90% GIF and 10% cover other
vender based code pages.

Most of the Pashto WebPages will be based on our
Pashto support for Windows, which are based on
codepage 1256 and some of them are using GIF.

Dear colleagues

I would appreciate any suggestions on a website in Arabic which
addresses or makes reference to Common Mistakes in Arabic (MSA) like say
and don't say-Qul wa laa taqul, or it is better to say...

Of printed books there are two by Dr.Muhammad al-'Adnani (Beirut:
Librarie du Liban, 1989: Mu'jam al-Akhtaa' al-Lughawiyya al-Mu'aasira
and 1997: Mu'jam al-Akhtaa' al-Shaa'ia) and one by Shaykh Muhammad 'Ali
al-Najjar, (Cairo: Dar al-Hidaya, 1986). Any further suggestions for
entries in books or articles are also most welcome.

Respectfully,

Jamal el-'Attar, Ph.D

Indeed we use ghuul/a to describe peole sometimes. For example person who is
aggressive, greedy, or someone with uncombed hair "sha9r mankuush" (especially
a woman with long hair) flying everywhere (not as Nizaar Qabbaani described
"washsha9ru lghagariyyu lmagnuun"). We use it both ghuul (masc.) and ghuulah
(fem.) in such expressions wondering about them "maalu 9aamil zayy 'ilghuul
kidah" or "maalhaa sha9raha mankuush zayy 'ilghuulah kidah leeh".
However I heard only of 'umminaa 'ilghuulah and never had the pleasure of
hearing of the other members of the family.

On the subject of ghouls and their sexes, I used to know a Kuwait man
whose father was kind of a formidable character, and they called him,
affectionately, but referring to his controlling ways, al-ghuul. The
family had a house in Cairo and spent a lot of time there over a
period of years. Also, the father was originally from Saudi Arabia.

Subject: Benefactive reference query

Can anyone help me locate a reference?  This
was an article discussing a phenomenon I believe
was referred to as the "benefactive" in spoken
Arabic,
in one of the dialects of the eastern
Mediterranean.

This would be something like the colloquial
English, "She's got her a big truck."

The Sudanese data I'm working with has similar
examples:

/rikib lee-huu fii 9arabiyya kabiira/
'he rode himself in a big car'

But second-person references also occur:

/laabsa lee-k toob aHmar/
'she is wearing for you a red dress [where
context indicates that the listener was not
present]

And this occurs more than once with verbs
that are otherwise intransitive:

/itxarrjuu lu-hum/
'they graduated themselves'

Many thanks,

Elizabeth M. Bergman

Subject: Minimalism and Palestinian Arabic Query

Dear Sir/Madam:

I am a teacher of Linguistics at the Islamic University of
Gaza-Palestine. I got an MA degree in Linguistics/ESL from California
State University-Fresno in 1997.

Ph.D. qualifications in general and in Linguistics in particular are
badly needed in our Palestinian Community.

I am interested in pursuing my study and getting a Ph.D. degree in
Syntax, and particularly, (Palestinian) Arabic and Minimalism.

As the libraries here lack references about such a recent subject, and
I did not have a good idea about it, I traveled to Egypt some months
ago. I visited the library of the American University-Cairo and
borrowed some books on Minimalism such as Radford (1997) and Ouhalla
(1999).  Nevertheless, I could not find any study related to
Minimalism and (Palestinian) Arabic.

I need someone to help me, please.   Which references can I get to
have a better idea about Minimalism? Do you know about any study
similar to my proposed one?


I would appreciate your effort very much.

Sincerely,
Hassan El-Nabih

Are there any public domain archives on the Middle East or North

Any replies would be much appreciated.

Tangier, Morocco
Tangier Summer Intermediate Arabic Studies Program

June 21 thru August 3, 2001

The American Institute for Maghrib Studies is offering a special
language and area studies program based in Tangier, Morocco. Taught
by experienced bilingual American faculty and specially trained
Moroccan professors, this intensive program comprises six weeks of
language study, with one week off for student travel: 3 weeks
instruction, 1 week off for travel, 3 final weeks of instruction.
There will be two tracks of Modern Standard Arabic, advanced and
intermediate, depending on the student¹s transcripts and experience
and performance on a placement test.  A course in the fundamentals of
the Moroccan Colloquial Arabic dialect will also be offered.
Moroccan Colloquial Arabic is optional, although a working knowledge
of the dialect is beneficial in actual communication with Moroccans.
Students should have taken a year of Modern Standard Arabic before
applying to the program. The program will use the Al-Kitaab series
supplemented with materials prepared or collected by faculty.

Students will have daily contact with the local cultures due to the
program being housed in the heart of Tangier, Morocco at the American
School of Tangier.  The facilities at AST include large, well-lit
rooms, a soccer field, and excellent food by one of the best cooks in
Tangier.  There are also special lectures and programs in Arabic,
English and French dealing with various aspects of North African
history, culture, and society. Activities from previous years include
lectures on the role of Fez in Moroccan History and Art; the Moroccan
political scene; the challenges of Arab filmmakers; the history of
Tetouan; women¹s musical performances at the shrine of Moulay
Abdesslam; expatriate writing on North Africa.  Students also
attended concerts of Andalousian and Sufi music, receptions, parties,
weddings, and Sufi ceremonies, and previewed a Moroccan film.
Miniclasses focusing on various aspects of the culture and society
will be taught in Arabic, such as cooking, poetry, music, films,
sports, and pilgrimage sites. 

In previous years, a number of students participating in the Tangier
Summer Intensive Arabic Program came from French departments.  These
were students focusing on Francophone literature who realized that at
least some knowledge of Arabic coupled with first-hand familiarity
with North African culture is essential to inform their research.
AIMS has thus expanded the cultural component of the Tangier program
and added elements that will be of particular interest to students
interested in North African culture. For example, there will be a few
lectures in French by visiting Moroccan and other scholars for
students with a French background (as circumstances permit).  Arabic
classroom discussion will focus on topics of interest to all students
participating in the program.

The program will focus on developing sound conversational and reading
skills in Modern Standard Arabic. However, at the same time, all
students will be in a position to better experience the full range of
Moroccan cultural life, including experiencing French-Arabic
code-switching in its native environment.  This will be a good
opportunity for students who are interested in understanding North
African culture and Moroccan Arabic.

Applications can be found on the AIMS website:

Eight college credits can be earned by successful completion of the
program: six credits of MSA + 2 credits of Moroccan Colloquial Arabic
(the equivalent of two semesters, or 150 instruction hours).

Program cost is $2,400 for tuition and fees; about $1,250  for room
and board (which covers breakfast and the day¹s main meal served at
lunch time­students are on their own to either cook dinner in the
facilities or to explore Tangier¹s multitude of international
culinary opportunities); international airfare. Total $3,650 plus
airfare.

Fellowship assistance is available and fellows must be U.S.
nationals. Other fellowships, including FLAS, can be applied to this
program.

The application deadline for this program is March 15, 2001. 

The deadline for receipt of payment is June 1.  Full-time affiliation
in a degree program at an accredited university is required for all
fellowship recipients.  Fellowship recipients must submit
documentation of affiliation to AIMS by June 1 (together with
payment).

The term << 3uzla >> might equate more closely to "isolation" than to
"privacy."

Another term used for "privacy" (as opposed to a public aspect) is < khiSSa >
(S = saad with shedda).

Some context would help determine what might be suitable terms.

From: Martha Schulte-Nafeh <MSNAFEH at CCIT.ARIZONA.EDU> Subject: fem/masc

When I lived in Cairo I was also adressed on occasion as "anta". In particular
I remember one incident when a ba'aal said to me "anta kwayyis?" My
interpretation of this phenomenon is/was that this was a kind of foreigner
talk. In other words, there seems to exist a register in Egyptian Arabic
that
encodes the stereotypical mistakes that foreigners make when speaking EA such
as overgeneralizing the masc forms to cover both masc. and fem. This kind of
simplification would indeed be predicted from second language learners of
Arabic. It's interesting that Egyptians are so accomodating when speaking to
foreigners that they will even make the same mistakes they do in the interest
of communication. Another example of this was related to me by my Arabic
teacher, Adel Gamal. He once overheard a foreigner ask the following
question:
	'amsik alautobiis feen?
wanting to know where to catch the bus and translating that idiom literally
into Arabic. The interesting thing was that the Egyptian responded with:
	'timsik alautobiis hinaak"
reinforcing the "mistake" if you will.
I have no doubt that the motivation for speaking to foreigners in a kind of
broken Arabic is a positive one but it does make you wonder if this can
interfere with the learning process. My guess is that it would not do so
seriously because in extended conversation it probably is not maintained. I
have heard this "khawaga Arabic" phenomenon referred to previously but have
never heard of any systematic study of it. Sounds to me like a great masters
thesis topic for someone in the TAFL program at AUC. Perhaps its already been
done.
	Another example of khawaga Arabic: (again from Dr. Gamal)
	foreigner: antu maftuHiin lighaayet imta? 	shop keeper: iHna
maftuhiin lighaayet xamsa. the correct lexical item in this exchange would
be "fatHiin" apparently.

It seems though that the fact that this kind of foreigner talk register exists
means that non-native speakers doing research on EA need to be very careful
about interpreting utterances addressed to them. They may or may not be be
indicative of the regularities of the speakers native dialect. Peace,
Martha

	Martha Schulte-Nafeh's experience in Cairo seems to have been very
similar to my own when I was living there in the fifties.  Egyptians
tended to speak to me in what they called khawagati, which was a sort of
pidgin Arabic spoken by and to foreigners.  Cairo was full of foreigners
in those days and khawagati was very common.  In khawagati distinctions
between masculine and feminine were more or less nonexistent.  I picked up
many expressions used by Egyptians when speaking to me, which I was later
told by friends and teachers were khawagati expressions and not Egyptian
Arabic.  It made learning Egyptian Arabic harder than it needed to be
since for a while I had to unlearn almost as many expressions as I was
learning. I wish I could remember some of those expressions now.

Subject: 'right of privacy'

First, in an Egyptian context, Hurriyyah means privacy.  Thus 9ala
Hurriiti means (when) I am uninhibited by the presence of others.
This could either be in a social or a political context.  9ashaan
ni9raf nikkallim 9ala Hurriyyitna: so that we are able to talk at
ease.

In principle, there would be no reason to think that a fushasized
rendition of the above would not work.  However, I don't know whether
the expression exists in other Arab countries, or whether it is
expressed differently.

In fusha terms, Haqqu ?an yakhlua l-?insaanu ?ila nafsihi would work.
This would be an expression favoring the social implication of
privacy; denoting the right to be alone.

Mike,

thanks for your sends. they remind me of when a student complained to
me, in Rome, that a woman had been peering over his shoulder when he
was filling in some forms, and said, "You'd think there was no
concept of privacy in Italy." Failing to find a word for it in
Italian (and later in French), I assured him there wasn't!

Bon weekend,

I would like to thank Waheed for bringing that issue up. However, I would like
to clarify a couple of points. First, females are referred to with masculine
forms only in contexts that call for using terms of endearment. Second, in
these contexts, males are referred to with female forms such as "Haboobti" and
"katkooti" among many others. In general, the shift of gender marking is a
pragmatic tool for endearment.

Subject: Foreigner Talk

Greetings from the Arabian Gulf!

Foreigner-talk is a HUGE problem for those who wish to learn Arabic here. I
can't tell you how many times I've spoken what I know to be (reasonably)
good Arabic, and a local person has persisted in speaking terrible, broken
Arabic with me. I believe that this happens because of adaptation to the
huge number of foreigners, and particularly those from the Indian
Subcontinent who do not have time, resources or motivation to learn more
Arabic than is necessary to get by. Most of the native Arabic speakers here
seem very apt at changing dialects according to the person they are talking
to.

A couple of general characteristics of the local pidgen are saying
everything in third person masculine and using "fii" every few words. Some
examples that particularly stand out in my memory are as follows:

* Shortly after I arrived here (after having studied Arabic elsewhere for
several years) I walked up to some taxi drivers who were waiting for
passengers. After I greeted one he said, "wayn yarooH?"  I (confused, since
I came by myself) responded, "wayn yarooH man?", and he said, "wayn yarooH
inta?"

* I was once speaking with an elderly Omani man, and we were talking about
my wife (who had made some date bread that I had just given him a loaf of).
He asked me something about her using normal, correct grammar and when I
paused a second (because I didn't quite catch a word immediately) he
rephrased it in third-person masculine.

* During Ramadhan a few years ago I was in a shared taxi with someone from
the Indian Subcontinent as sunset approached. He was in a hurry to go home
to ifTar and repeatedly said, "ana fee sawm!" (I am fasting!) Likewise
people might say, "ana fee waj9a" (I have pain) or "ana fee mariiDH" (I am
sick).

* Many people also ask if you understand / understood what they just said by
using the word, "ma9luum?", or saying, "fee ma9luum?"

I realize that this is not the formal study that the original question
requested, but I hope it is of some help and interest.

>One other thing to note is that Egyptian males talking to Egyptian
>females address them in the masculine

Of course Egyptian men don't ALWAYS use what I call "reverse gender reference"
(and what Elizabeth Bergman in this same forum somewhat archly called
"Cross-addressing") when referring to or addressing women.  In fact it is
pretty
rare (cf. Parkinson's Terms of Address... where he points out that it occurred
once in his voluminous data) and is used for specific purposes, like flirting,
expressing intimacy, protecting identity, etc..  A such, it would be
considered
highly inappropriate to address a woman (or anyone else) using reverse gender
reference out of place.

It does, however, occur quite frequently in addressing children.  I have a
study
about this phenomenon, which may be found as follows:

Wilmsen, David, "Cross Addressing:  Reverse Gender Reference in Cairene
Arabic,"
in Yasir Suleiman (ed..), Arabic Grammar and Arabic Linguistics.  Surrey:
Curzon
Press. 1999. pp.. 203—221

I should imagine that Fatima Basaffar will have more to say about this latter
aspect at the coming ALS conference, where she will be presenting a talk about
child-directed speech in Higazi Arabic.

One thing I did not point out in my paper was that when reverse gender
reference is used with children, it is sometimes used as a foil against envy
(il-Hasad).  The famous example of this is to be found in the film "al-Hafiid"
(The Grandson) when the mother, Karima Mokhtar, is announcing the birth of her
first grandson by saying "ti-trabba fi @izz-ak" - more-or-less 'may she be
raised while you are in your prime' (or alternatively 'in (the comfort and
security of) your wealth (or plenty)').  To which her young son responds with
disappointment -

Azzizi Kaseh,
Maybe, it is about the Arabic language, being one
of the United Nations' official five languages!

What are the other four official languages of the
UN, anyway? I am sure all of our fellow linguists

happy that Arabic is one of the official languages

I have a little knowledge of this subject,
so I thought I'd at let you know that the CIA is
recruiting for the following languages/regions at the
current time (from their website).

"The following regions/languages are being sought:

African (with knowledge of French, Portuguese, Arabic,
or demonstrated language aptitude)
East Asian/Chinese
East-Central European/Albanian, Romanian, Czech/Slovak,
Hungarian, and a second European language
East Asian/Malaysian
East Asian/Japanese
East Asian/Korean
Latin America/Spanish with Portuguese or French
Western Europe/French, German, or Italian, with second
European language"

The State Department is also keen on hiring Arabic
speakers. (Even my meager knowledge was enough to get
me a government job in Saudi Arabia last year). Some of
the largest American embassies in the world are in Arab
countries. I have no knowledge of any sort of official
list, but in the sense that knowledge of Arabic greatly
increases your chances of employment in the American
intelligence/diplomatic community, I think it would be
fair to say that Arabic is an important language in
terms of security issues.

1) Subject: Distiller Printer Driver on Win 98 Query

Subject: Distiller Printer Driver on Win 98 Query

Distiller Printer Driver won't install on my Win 98 Arabic Enabled
Platform. Can anyone help?

I cannot completely install any version of Acrobat 4.0.5 (English or
ME) on Windows 98 Arabic Enabled. I get the message "The printer
driver you are using does not print in your local language," followed
by the warning that installation may cause Windows to fail and that I
should contact the printer producer. The Adobe PDFMaker signs its
name.
When I try to create a PDF file, whether from English or ME (on Win
98), I get the message "PDF Maker cannot locate the Acrobat Distiller
Printer Driver. Please reinstall Adobe Acrobat 4.0.5." Obviously this
does not help. At 98% of any English Acrobat installation on Win 98
the installation hangs, and I when I then abort I get the message
about the printer again. (Is this circular or recursive?!) Acrobat ME
reports a successful installation, but the printer driver has not in
fact been installed and the same message about not printing in my
language appears.

To the obvious question, did I try Acrobat ME when installed alone,
without the English version installed in another folder, the answer
is a qualified yes. I am uncertain to what extent my uninstalling of
English Acrobat was complete, since the English uninstall never
initializes properly, so I did it once manually and once with the
uninstaller of Acrobat ME.

Now for Windows 2000. Here the English version of Acrobat works,
although it freezes just as it finishes, so you don't know that it
has produced a file, until you look for it. I will not try to install
the ME version on Windows 2000 before I get help, to avoid confusing
the program. But I presume it will work at least as well as the
English.

The main problem here is with me or with Windows 2000. Despite
various attempts, I am unable to get it to show Arabic numerals as
Arabic where Windows 98 does (in accordance with context or
deliberate font formatting). Acrobat Distiller, under the influence
of Windows 2000, even redoes the numbers in valid PS files!

So here finally is the essence of my problem. Either I must get
Acrobat Distiller Printer Driver to install properly on Windows 98
Arabic Enabled (or Localized if that is the answer), where my Arabic
numerals format correctly in Word, or I must get Word, Acrobat, etc.
running under Windows 2000 to format numerals the same as when they
are running under Arabic Windows 98 Arabic Enabled. Preferably both.

System info, etc.:
Hard drive 40GB, primary partition 25 GB with Win 98, secondary 15GB
with Win 2000; Pentium 866 processor; removeable 250MB Zip Drive; DVD
drive; CD burner; Memory: 256 MB; Word on both platforms + Office
2000 Pro; Billion ISDN PCI card on both platforms; iomegaware on
both; 3D Graphic Accelerator on both platforms; ABIT SX-1.30M for
motherboard; Norton Utilities under Win 98; Creative CD-RW Blaster
for CD burner on Win 98; Norman Anti-Virus on Win 98; Sound driver
generic from ABIT on both platforms; Novell client on Win 98.

I would like to note that besides the endearment usage of feminine
forms for male individuals and vice versa the second person sg/pl is
addressed in masculine form and the third person pl is also used with
the masculine form for both feminine and masculine in the Tunis
region.

On the other hand, the feminine form is used for the 2d person be it

Hi,

I would like to raise the point addressed by Wahid once more. If the native
speaker uses a masculine form with another native speaker, with whome the
feminine term should be used, this has another extra-linguistic function-
probably sociolinguistic.

In the case of Foreigner Talk, native speakers tend to simplify their language
and the aspects they see difficult to a non-native speakr, only. The
qualitative and quantitative difference between the existance of a certain
structure in native-native talk and Foreigner talk is the important thing for
my purposes.

In the data of pidginization in the Gulf, it was interesting that the use of
the third person masculine singular is prevailing, because it brings to the
surface the issue of gramaticality in FT production.

thanks for everybody
Muhammad

      In good old Classical Arabic, typically female functions
are expressed by masculine nouns:  Ha:mil  =  pregnant;  Ha:'iD  =
menstruating;  9aju:z  =  beyond childbearing age;  9a:hir  =
harlot;  9a:qir  =  barren; na:hid  =  large breasted; and, conversely, an
eminent geneologist
is  nassa:batun;  a Caliph is  khali:fatun.  God is referred to in
the Qur'an as  9alla:m, even though  9alla:matun  would make
Her  {Him??} much smarter [cf.  Zamachshari ad loc].

Subject: Critical Language

I don't have any specific references on critical languages, but there
must be many. A search in a government repository library or the
Library of Congress probably would yield relevant documents. The idea
goes back several decades. Several languages were designated
"critical," and there were fellowship programs, summer institutes,
research grants, and so on. I can remember the NDFL program, for
example, National Defense Foreign Language fellowships, in the
1970's. In fact, I think these were created by an act of Congress, so
there should be references in the Congressional Record.

And, of course, Arabic was/is one of these critical languages.

Dear Jonathan,

Winsoft has since suggested that I try

ftp://ftp-pac.adobe.com/pub/adobe/printerdrivers/win/4.x/drivers/aps431eng.exe

It worked for me, at least in part. I am not sure that everything is
OK yet. All the printer installers freeze before they quit. The
printer installers you suggest for Win 95/98 did not work for me.

Some TrueType fonts with no restrictions that show up in Font Creator
are not embedding. Others, in particular the most important Latin
font for me currently, JAIS1 TTW (after we doctored it), do embed.
Thanks for your suggestion.

Of course, these forms include the subclass of "crypto-feminine" (in
Whorf's terminology)nouns, e.g., ka?as, ?arD, samaa?, not to mention
that for their intended connotations they don't have a masculine
counterpart for obvious reasons.

However, I beg to differ with the 9allaam and 9allaamah distinction.

Al-Jawhari (a lexicographer) suggests that 9allaamah connotes
"shrewdness" in which case it would not be appropriate to be a divine
attribute in Islamic tradition.  However, Ibn Jinni (a grammarian),
suggests the feminine affix is attached for emphasis purposes to
indicate that the person (man or woman) has attained the full
scope/highest level of knowledge "balagha l-ghaayata wa n-nihaayah."
 If anything, Ibn Jinni's (and that of Al-Jawhari) answer suggests to
me that language will be sexist when we want it to be.

Better results can be reached when instead focus is on patterns and
rule-governed phenomena rather than "naturalness" in this case. Body
parts is one example that fits into a pattern.  Body parts that come
in pairs are treated as feminine.  Otherwise, singular body parts are
masculine (including those of female and male genitalia), except
surrah "navel" which has the feminine suffix any way. This is perhaps
why ?al-?unthayaan is also used to refer to the two ears (?udhun (Sg)
?udhunaan (pl)).

Subject: Santa Barbara Symposium on ME and South Asia

         THE MIDDLE EAST & SOUTH ASIA: COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVES
                Friday, March 23, 2001, 9 am to 6 pm
           Sponsored by the Center for Middle East Studies
                University of California, Santa Barbara
        McCune Conference Room, Interdisciplinary Humanities Center
            6th Humanities & Social Sciences Building (UCSB)


To mark the beginning of its three-year project exploring the comparative
study of the Middle East and South Asia, the UCSB Center for Middle East
Studies is pleased to announce a one-day symposium--THE MIDDLE EAST &
SOUTH ASIA: COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVES.  This symposium features four
prominent scholars who have actively engaged in comparative study in the
Middle East and/or South Asia using a variety of different disciplinary
approaches: Janet Abu-Lughod, Shahab Ahmed, Asef Bayat, and K. N.
Chaudhuri.

The overall project, initiated by the Center for Middle East Studies at
the University of California, Santa Barbara, seeks: (1) to articulate and
discuss the various cultural, political, and economic connections that
have linked the Middle East and South Asia throughout history; (2) to
explore the possibilities of a new field of inquiry that partially
rectifies the drawbacks of traditional area studies by examining these two
regions through comparative study; and, (3) to assess, at the end of the
three-year project (2001-2003), the potential for these approaches to
contribute to the larger discussion concerning area and global studies as
methodologies in the American academy.

Our primary goal at this first event is to bring together a small group of
interested scholars to discuss potential theoretical and methodological
parameters for the comparative study of the Middle East and South Asia.
In order to encourage as much discussion as possible, we have scheduled 45
minutes of open discussion after each of the four featured presentations.

Although the symposium is free and open to all, seating will be limited.
If you hope to attend, we therefore ask that you REGISTER with the Center
for Middle East Studies at the following email address as soon as
possible:

                 CMES at isber.ucsb.edu

Once you have registered, further logistical information will be sent
to you by email regarding meals, lodging, transportation, and directions,
as well as the prospectus for the three-year project of which this
symposium is the opening event.

Subject: Stop Words Definition

Dear Dil,
a stop_word is a type of word that come very frequently in a text, meanwhile
it's not of a great significance. For instance, prepositions, coordinators,
determinants are stop-words. Those words are not pertinents for automatic
summerization or abstract for exemple, they are not useful for information
extracting neither. This means, in the case of abstracting, we need to
eliminate them in order to obtain the adequate key words or sentece that
describe the text.

Subject: Stop Words Definition

Greetings,

In the Information Retrieval (IR) community, stop words are defined as
grammatical or function words. They have similar frequency pattern across ALL
documents of all domains and subjects and hence they are considered "useless"
for  search and retrieval purposes. These words are typically among the most
frequent in a document or a text collection.

Hope that clarified the mystery.

Dear Dr Malek Boualem;

Most of the Arabic and other Arabic script based
Languages like Pashto, Farsi, Urdu and many others
I have come across, utilize the CP1256, GIF or PDF.

In case of Arabic, since it was supported by Windows
3.x, 95, 98 and now 2000, I can assume that 80% are
using code page 1256, 20% may use PDF or GIF.
Also that percentage may apply to Farsi.

Urdu web site are 90% GIF and 10% cover other
vender based code pages.

Most of the Pashto WebPages will be based on our
Pashto support for Windows, which are based on
codepage 1256 and some of them are using GIF.

Dear colleagues

I would appreciate any suggestions on a website in Arabic which
addresses or makes reference to Common Mistakes in Arabic (MSA) like say
and don't say-Qul wa laa taqul, or it is better to say...

Of printed books there are two by Dr.Muhammad al-'Adnani (Beirut:
Librarie du Liban, 1989: Mu'jam al-Akhtaa' al-Lughawiyya al-Mu'aasira
and 1997: Mu'jam al-Akhtaa' al-Shaa'ia) and one by Shaykh Muhammad 'Ali
al-Najjar, (Cairo: Dar al-Hidaya, 1986). Any further suggestions for
entries in books or articles are also most welcome.

Respectfully,

Jamal el-'Attar, Ph.D

Indeed we use ghuul/a to describe peole sometimes. For example person who is
aggressive, greedy, or someone with uncombed hair "sha9r mankuush" (especially
a woman with long hair) flying everywhere (not as Nizaar Qabbaani described
"washsha9ru lghagariyyu lmagnuun"). We use it both ghuul (masc.) and ghuulah
(fem.) in such expressions wondering about them "maalu 9aamil zayy 'ilghuul
kidah" or "maalhaa sha9raha mankuush zayy 'ilghuulah kidah leeh".
However I heard only of 'umminaa 'ilghuulah and never had the pleasure of
hearing of the other members of the family.

On the subject of ghouls and their sexes, I used to know a Kuwait man
whose father was kind of a formidable character, and they called him,
affectionately, but referring to his controlling ways, al-ghuul. The
family had a house in Cairo and spent a lot of time there over a
period of years. Also, the father was originally from Saudi Arabia.

Subject: Benefactive reference query

Can anyone help me locate a reference?  This
was an article discussing a phenomenon I believe
was referred to as the "benefactive" in spoken
Arabic,
in one of the dialects of the eastern
Mediterranean.

This would be something like the colloquial
English, "She's got her a big truck."

The Sudanese data I'm working with has similar
examples:

/rikib lee-huu fii 9arabiyya kabiira/
'he rode himself in a big car'

But second-person references also occur:

/laabsa lee-k toob aHmar/
'she is wearing for you a red dress [where
context indicates that the listener was not
present]

And this occurs more than once with verbs
that are otherwise intransitive:

/itxarrjuu lu-hum/
'they graduated themselves'

Many thanks,

Elizabeth M. Bergman

Subject: Minimalism and Palestinian Arabic Query

Dear Sir/Madam:

I am a teacher of Linguistics at the Islamic University of
Gaza-Palestine. I got an MA degree in Linguistics/ESL from California
State University-Fresno in 1997.

Ph.D. qualifications in general and in Linguistics in particular are
badly needed in our Palestinian Community.

I am interested in pursuing my study and getting a Ph.D. degree in
Syntax, and particularly, (Palestinian) Arabic and Minimalism.

As the libraries here lack references about such a recent subject, and
I did not have a good idea about it, I traveled to Egypt some months
ago. I visited the library of the American University-Cairo and
borrowed some books on Minimalism such as Radford (1997) and Ouhalla
(1999).  Nevertheless, I could not find any study related to
Minimalism and (Palestinian) Arabic.

I need someone to help me, please.   Which references can I get to
have a better idea about Minimalism? Do you know about any study
similar to my proposed one?


I would appreciate your effort very much.

Sincerely,
Hassan El-Nabih

to use digital photos of Arabic scenes on the web.

Are there any public domain archives on the Middle East or North

Any replies would be much appreciated.

translator or using MacLink Plus.

The following seems to be the Arabic part extracted from the file

There is a DOS file which you can convert into Mac Arabic encoding with

"privacy". I put it in some "xawaaTer" in Arabic (Word) about East & West
that the curious one can download in:
http://helios.unive.it/~arabic/arabiyat/eastwest.HTM
al-mawrid gives "3uzla", for "privacy", but I don't know if it is rather

Subject: AIMS Tangier Program

Tangier, Morocco
Tangier Summer Intermediate Arabic Studies Program

June 21 thru August 3, 2001

The American Institute for Maghrib Studies is offering a special
language and area studies program based in Tangier, Morocco. Taught
by experienced bilingual American faculty and specially trained
Moroccan professors, this intensive program comprises six weeks of
language study, with one week off for student travel: 3 weeks
instruction, 1 week off for travel, 3 final weeks of instruction.
There will be two tracks of Modern Standard Arabic, advanced and
intermediate, depending on the student?s transcripts and experience
and performance on a placement test.  A course in the fundamentals of
the Moroccan Colloquial Arabic dialect will also be offered.
Moroccan Colloquial Arabic is optional, although a working knowledge
of the dialect is beneficial in actual communication with Moroccans.
Students should have taken a year of Modern Standard Arabic before
applying to the program. The program will use the Al-Kitaab series
supplemented with materials prepared or collected by faculty.

Students will have daily contact with the local cultures due to the
program being housed in the heart of Tangier, Morocco at the American
School of Tangier.  The facilities at AST include large, well-lit
rooms, a soccer field, and excellent food by one of the best cooks in
Tangier.  There are also special lectures and programs in Arabic,
English and French dealing with various aspects of North African
history, culture, and society. Activities from previous years include
lectures on the role of Fez in Moroccan History and Art; the Moroccan
political scene; the challenges of Arab filmmakers; the history of
Tetouan; women?s musical performances at the shrine of Moulay
Abdesslam; expatriate writing on North Africa.  Students also
attended concerts of Andalousian and Sufi music, receptions, parties,
weddings, and Sufi ceremonies, and previewed a Moroccan film.
Miniclasses focusing on various aspects of the culture and society
will be taught in Arabic, such as cooking, poetry, music, films,
sports, and pilgrimage sites.?

In previous years, a number of students participating in the Tangier
Summer Intensive Arabic Program came from French departments.  These
were students focusing on Francophone literature who realized that at
least some knowledge of Arabic coupled with first-hand familiarity
with North African culture is essential to inform their research.
AIMS has thus expanded the cultural component of the Tangier program
and added elements that will be of particular interest to students
interested in North African culture. For example, there will be a few
lectures in French by visiting Moroccan and other scholars for
students with a French background (as circumstances permit).  Arabic
classroom discussion will focus on topics of interest to all students
participating in the program.

The program will focus on developing sound conversational and reading
skills in Modern Standard Arabic. However, at the same time, all
students will be in a position to better experience the full range of
Moroccan cultural life, including experiencing French-Arabic
code-switching in its native environment.  This will be a good
opportunity for students who are interested in understanding North
African culture and Moroccan Arabic.

Applications can be found on the AIMS website:??

Eight college credits can be earned by successful completion of the
program: six credits of MSA + 2 credits of Moroccan Colloquial Arabic
(the equivalent of two semesters, or 150 instruction hours).

Program cost is $2,400 for tuition and fees; about $1,250  for room
and board (which covers breakfast and the day?s main meal served at
lunch time?students are on their own to either cook dinner in the
facilities or to explore Tangier?s multitude of international
culinary opportunities); international airfare. Total $3,650 plus
airfare.

Fellowship assistance is available and fellows must be U.S.
nationals. Other fellowships, including FLAS, can be applied to this
program.

The application deadline for this program is March 15, 2001.?

The deadline for receipt of payment is June 1.  Full-time affiliation
in a degree program at an accredited university is required for all
fellowship recipients.  Fellowship recipients must submit
documentation of affiliation to AIMS by June 1 (together with
payment).

The term << 3uzla >> might equate more closely to "isolation" than to
"privacy."

Another term used for "privacy" (as opposed to a public aspect) is < khiSSa >
(S = saad with shedda).

Some context would help determine what might be suitable terms.

From: Martha Schulte-Nafeh <MSNAFEH at CCIT.ARIZONA.EDU> Subject: fem/masc

When I lived in Cairo I was also adressed on occasion as "anta". In particular
I remember one incident when a ba'aal said to me "anta kwayyis?" My
interpretation of this phenomenon is/was that this was a kind of foreigner
talk. In other words, there seems to exist a register in Egyptian Arabic
that
encodes the stereotypical mistakes that foreigners make when speaking EA such
as overgeneralizing the masc forms to cover both masc. and fem. This kind of
simplification would indeed be predicted from second language learners of
Arabic. It's interesting that Egyptians are so accomodating when speaking to
foreigners that they will even make the same mistakes they do in the interest
of communication. Another example of this was related to me by my Arabic
teacher, Adel Gamal. He once overheard a foreigner ask the following
question:
	'amsik alautobiis feen?
wanting to know where to catch the bus and translating that idiom literally
into Arabic. The interesting thing was that the Egyptian responded with:
	'timsik alautobiis hinaak"
reinforcing the "mistake" if you will.
I have no doubt that the motivation for speaking to foreigners in a kind of
broken Arabic is a positive one but it does make you wonder if this can
interfere with the learning process. My guess is that it would not do so
seriously because in extended conversation it probably is not maintained. I
have heard this "khawaga Arabic" phenomenon referred to previously but have
never heard of any systematic study of it. Sounds to me like a great masters
thesis topic for someone in the TAFL program at AUC. Perhaps its already been
done.
	Another example of khawaga Arabic: (again from Dr. Gamal)
	foreigner: antu maftuHiin lighaayet imta? 	shop keeper: iHna
maftuhiin lighaayet xamsa. the correct lexical item in this exchange would
be "fatHiin" apparently.

It seems though that the fact that this kind of foreigner talk register exists
means that non-native speakers doing research on EA need to be very careful
about interpreting utterances addressed to them. They may or may not be be
indicative of the regularities of the speakers native dialect. Peace,
Martha

	Martha Schulte-Nafeh's experience in Cairo seems to have been very
similar to my own when I was living there in the fifties.  Egyptians
tended to speak to me in what they called khawagati, which was a sort of
pidgin Arabic spoken by and to foreigners.  Cairo was full of foreigners
in those days and khawagati was very common.  In khawagati distinctions
between masculine and feminine were more or less nonexistent.  I picked up
many expressions used by Egyptians when speaking to me, which I was later
told by friends and teachers were khawagati expressions and not Egyptian
Arabic.  It made learning Egyptian Arabic harder than it needed to be
since for a while I had to unlearn almost as many expressions as I was
learning. I wish I could remember some of those expressions now.

One other thing to note is that Egyptian males talking to Egyptian
females address them in the masculine:  "9ala feen ya gamiil inta
bass".  This is traditional, and is seen in song, and in poetry.

Subject: 'right of privacy'

First, in an Egyptian context, Hurriyyah means privacy.  Thus 9ala
Hurriiti means (when) I am uninhibited by the presence of others.
This could either be in a social or a political context.  9ashaan
ni9raf nikkallim 9ala Hurriyyitna: so that we are able to talk at
ease.

In principle, there would be no reason to think that a fushasized
rendition of the above would not work.  However, I don't know whether
the expression exists in other Arab countries, or whether it is
expressed differently.

In fusha terms, Haqqu ?an yakhlua l-?insaanu ?ila nafsihi would work.
This would be an expression favoring the social implication of
privacy; denoting the right to be alone.

thanks for your sends. they remind me of when a student complained to

was filling in some forms, and said, "You'd think there was no

Italian (and later in French), I assured him there wasn't!

I would like to thank Waheed for bringing that issue up. However, I would like
to clarify a couple of points. First, females are referred to with masculine
forms only in contexts that call for using terms of endearment. Second, in
these contexts, males are referred to with female forms such as "Haboobti" and
"katkooti" among many others. In general, the shift of gender marking is a
pragmatic tool for endearment.

Subject: Foreigner Talk

Greetings from the Arabian Gulf!

Foreigner-talk is a HUGE problem for those who wish to learn Arabic here. I
can't tell you how many times I've spoken what I know to be (reasonably)
good Arabic, and a local person has persisted in speaking terrible, broken
Arabic with me. I believe that this happens because of adaptation to the
huge number of foreigners, and particularly those from the Indian
Subcontinent who do not have time, resources or motivation to learn more
Arabic than is necessary to get by. Most of the native Arabic speakers here
seem very apt at changing dialects according to the person they are talking
to.

A couple of general characteristics of the local pidgen are saying
everything in third person masculine and using "fii" every few words. Some
examples that particularly stand out in my memory are as follows:

* Shortly after I arrived here (after having studied Arabic elsewhere for
several years) I walked up to some taxi drivers who were waiting for
passengers. After I greeted one he said, "wayn yarooH?"  I (confused, since
I came by myself) responded, "wayn yarooH man?", and he said, "wayn yarooH
inta?"

* I was once speaking with an elderly Omani man, and we were talking about
my wife (who had made some date bread that I had just given him a loaf of).
He asked me something about her using normal, correct grammar and when I
paused a second (because I didn't quite catch a word immediately) he
rephrased it in third-person masculine.

* During Ramadhan a few years ago I was in a shared taxi with someone from
the Indian Subcontinent as sunset approached. He was in a hurry to go home
to ifTar and repeatedly said, "ana fee sawm!" (I am fasting!) Likewise
people might say, "ana fee waj9a" (I have pain) or "ana fee mariiDH" (I am
sick).

* Many people also ask if you understand / understood what they just said by
using the word, "ma9luum?", or saying, "fee ma9luum?"

I realize that this is not the formal study that the original question
requested, but I hope it is of some help and interest.

>One other thing to note is that Egyptian males talking to Egyptian

Of course Egyptian men don't ALWAYS use what I call "reverse gender reference"
(and what Elizabeth Bergman in this same forum somewhat archly called
"Cross-addressing") when referring to or addressing women.  In fact it is
pretty
rare (cf. Parkinson's Terms of Address... where he points out that it occurred
once in his voluminous data) and is used for specific purposes, like flirting,
expressing intimacy, protecting identity, etc..  A such, it would be
considered
highly inappropriate to address a woman (or anyone else) using reverse gender
reference out of place.

It does, however, occur quite frequently in addressing children.  I have a
study
about this phenomenon, which may be found as follows:

Wilmsen, David, "Cross Addressing:  Reverse Gender Reference in Cairene
Arabic,"
in Yasir Suleiman (ed..), Arabic Grammar and Arabic Linguistics.  Surrey:
Curzon
Press. 1999. pp.. 203?221

I should imagine that Fatima Basaffar will have more to say about this latter
aspect at the coming ALS conference, where she will be presenting a talk about
child-directed speech in Higazi Arabic.

One thing I did not point out in my paper was that when reverse gender
reference is used with children, it is sometimes used as a foil against envy
(il-Hasad).  The famous example of this is to be found in the film "al-Hafiid"
(The Grandson) when the mother, Karima Mokhtar, is announcing the birth of her
first grandson by saying "ti-trabba fi @izz-ak" - more-or-less 'may she be
raised while you are in your prime' (or alternatively 'in (the comfort and
security of) your wealth (or plenty)').  To which her young son responds with
disappointment -

Maybe, it is about the Arabic language, being one

What are the other four official languages of the

I have a little knowledge of this subject,
so I thought I'd at let you know that the CIA is
recruiting for the following languages/regions at the
current time (from their website).

"The following regions/languages are being sought:

African (with knowledge of French, Portuguese, Arabic,
or demonstrated language aptitude)
East Asian/Chinese
East-Central European/Albanian, Romanian, Czech/Slovak,
Hungarian, and a second European language
East Asian/Malaysian
East Asian/Japanese
East Asian/Korean
Latin America/Spanish with Portuguese or French
Western Europe/French, German, or Italian, with second
European language"

The State Department is also keen on hiring Arabic
speakers. (Even my meager knowledge was enough to get
me a government job in Saudi Arabia last year). Some of
the largest American embassies in the world are in Arab
countries. I have no knowledge of any sort of official
list, but in the sense that knowledge of Arabic greatly
increases your chances of employment in the American
intelligence/diplomatic community, I think it would be
fair to say that Arabic is an important language in
terms of security issues.

Subject: Distiller Printer Driver on Win 98 Query

Distiller Printer Driver won't install on my Win 98 Arabic Enabled
Platform. Can anyone help?

I cannot completely install any version of Acrobat 4.0.5 (English or
ME) on Windows 98 Arabic Enabled. I get the message "The printer
driver you are using does not print in your local language," followed
by the warning that installation may cause Windows to fail and that I
should contact the printer producer. The Adobe PDFMaker signs its
name.
When I try to create a PDF file, whether from English or ME (on Win
98), I get the message "PDF Maker cannot locate the Acrobat Distiller
Printer Driver. Please reinstall Adobe Acrobat 4.0.5." Obviously this
does not help. At 98% of any English Acrobat installation on Win 98
the installation hangs, and I when I then abort I get the message
about the printer again. (Is this circular or recursive?!) Acrobat ME
reports a successful installation, but the printer driver has not in
fact been installed and the same message about not printing in my
language appears.

To the obvious question, did I try Acrobat ME when installed alone,
without the English version installed in another folder, the answer
is a qualified yes. I am uncertain to what extent my uninstalling of
English Acrobat was complete, since the English uninstall never
initializes properly, so I did it once manually and once with the
uninstaller of Acrobat ME.

Now for Windows 2000. Here the English version of Acrobat works,
although it freezes just as it finishes, so you don't know that it
has produced a file, until you look for it. I will not try to install
the ME version on Windows 2000 before I get help, to avoid confusing
the program. But I presume it will work at least as well as the
English.

The main problem here is with me or with Windows 2000. Despite
various attempts, I am unable to get it to show Arabic numerals as
Arabic where Windows 98 does (in accordance with context or
deliberate font formatting). Acrobat Distiller, under the influence
of Windows 2000, even redoes the numbers in valid PS files!

So here finally is the essence of my problem. Either I must get
Acrobat Distiller Printer Driver to install properly on Windows 98
Arabic Enabled (or Localized if that is the answer), where my Arabic
numerals format correctly in Word, or I must get Word, Acrobat, etc.
running under Windows 2000 to format numerals the same as when they
are running under Arabic Windows 98 Arabic Enabled. Preferably both.

System info, etc.:
Hard drive 40GB, primary partition 25 GB with Win 98, secondary 15GB
with Win 2000; Pentium 866 processor; removeable 250MB Zip Drive; DVD
drive; CD burner; Memory: 256 MB; Word on both platforms + Office
2000 Pro; Billion ISDN PCI card on both platforms; iomegaware on
both; 3D Graphic Accelerator on both platforms; ABIT SX-1.30M for
motherboard; Norton Utilities under Win 98; Creative CD-RW Blaster
for CD burner on Win 98; Norman Anti-Virus on Win 98; Sound driver
generic from ABIT on both platforms; Novell client on Win 98.

I would like to note that besides the endearment usage of feminine
forms for male individuals and vice versa the second person sg/pl is
addressed in masculine form and the third person pl is also used with
the masculine form for both feminine and masculine in the Tunis

On the other hand, the feminine form is used for the 2d person be it

Hi,

I would like to raise the point addressed by Wahid once more. If the native
speaker uses a masculine form with another native speaker, with whome the
feminine term should be used, this has another extra-linguistic function-
probably sociolinguistic.

In the case of Foreigner Talk, native speakers tend to simplify their language
and the aspects they see difficult to a non-native speakr, only. The
qualitative and quantitative difference between the existance of a certain
structure in native-native talk and Foreigner talk is the important thing for
my purposes.

In the data of pidginization in the Gulf, it was interesting that the use of
the third person masculine singular is prevailing, because it brings to the
surface the issue of gramaticality in FT production.

thanks for everybody

      In good old Classical Arabic, typically female functions

menstruating;  9aju:z  =  beyond childbearing age;  9a:hir  =
harlot;  9a:qir  =  barren; na:hid  =  large breasted; and, conversely, an

Subject: Critical Language

I don't have any specific references on critical languages, but there
must be many. A search in a government repository library or the
Library of Congress probably would yield relevant documents. The idea
goes back several decades. Several languages were designated
"critical," and there were fellowship programs, summer institutes,
research grants, and so on. I can remember the NDFL program, for
example, National Defense Foreign Language fellowships, in the
1970's. In fact, I think these were created by an act of Congress, so
there should be references in the Congressional Record.

And, of course, Arabic was/is one of these critical languages.

Dear Jonathan,

Winsoft has since suggested that I try

ftp://ftp-pac.adobe.com/pub/adobe/printerdrivers/win/4.x/drivers/aps431eng.exe

It worked for me, at least in part. I am not sure that everything is
OK yet. All the printer installers freeze before they quit. The
printer installers you suggest for Win 95/98 did not work for me.

Some TrueType fonts with no restrictions that show up in Font Creator
are not embedding. Others, in particular the most important Latin
font for me currently, JAIS1 TTW (after we doctored it), do embed.
Thanks for your suggestion.

Of course, these forms include the subclass of "crypto-feminine" (in
Whorf's terminology)nouns, e.g., ka?as, ?arD, samaa?, not to mention
that for their intended connotations they don't have a masculine
counterpart for obvious reasons.

However, I beg to differ with the 9allaam and 9allaamah distinction.

Al-Jawhari (a lexicographer) suggests that 9allaamah connotes
"shrewdness" in which case it would not be appropriate to be a divine
attribute in Islamic tradition. ?However, Ibn Jinni (a grammarian),
suggests the feminine affix is attached for emphasis purposes to
indicate that the person (man or woman) has attained the full
scope/highest level of knowledge "balagha l-ghaayata wa n-nihaayah."
?If anything, Ibn Jinni's (and that of Al-Jawhari) answer suggests to
me that language will be sexist when we want it to be.

Better results can be reached when instead focus is on patterns and
rule-governed phenomena rather than "naturalness" in this case. Body
parts is one example that fits into a pattern. ?Body parts that come
in pairs are treated as feminine. ?Otherwise, singular body parts are
masculine (including those of female and male genitalia), except
surrah "navel" which has the feminine suffix any way. This is perhaps
why ?al-?unthayaan is also used to refer to the two ears (?udhun (Sg)
?udhunaan (pl)). ?

I looked at the list of stop words, and found it to be quite
interesting, so I decided to reveal my ignorance. Can anyone explain
to me what a stop word is, and why one needs a list of them in
computational linguistics?
Thanks,

         THE MIDDLE EAST & SOUTH ASIA: COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVES
                Friday, March 23, 2001, 9 am to 6 pm
           Sponsored by the Center for Middle East Studies
                University of California, Santa Barbara
        McCune Conference Room, Interdisciplinary Humanities Center
            6th Humanities & Social Sciences Building (UCSB)


To mark the beginning of its three-year project exploring the comparative
study of the Middle East and South Asia, the UCSB Center for Middle East
Studies is pleased to announce a one-day symposium--THE MIDDLE EAST &
SOUTH ASIA: COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVES.  This symposium features four
prominent scholars who have actively engaged in comparative study in the
Middle East and/or South Asia using a variety of different disciplinary
approaches: Janet Abu-Lughod, Shahab Ahmed, Asef Bayat, and K. N.
Chaudhuri.

The overall project, initiated by the Center for Middle East Studies at
the University of California, Santa Barbara, seeks: (1) to articulate and
discuss the various cultural, political, and economic connections that
have linked the Middle East and South Asia throughout history; (2) to
explore the possibilities of a new field of inquiry that partially
rectifies the drawbacks of traditional area studies by examining these two
regions through comparative study; and, (3) to assess, at the end of the
three-year project (2001-2003), the potential for these approaches to
contribute to the larger discussion concerning area and global studies as
methodologies in the American academy.

Our primary goal at this first event is to bring together a small group of
interested scholars to discuss potential theoretical and methodological
parameters for the comparative study of the Middle East and South Asia.
In order to encourage as much discussion as possible, we have scheduled 45
minutes of open discussion after each of the four featured presentations.

Although the symposium is free and open to all, seating will be limited.
If you hope to attend, we therefore ask that you REGISTER with the Center
for Middle East Studies at the following email address as soon as
possible:

                 CMES at isber.ucsb.edu

Once you have registered, further logistical information will be sent
to you by email regarding meals, lodging, transportation, and directions,
as well as the prospectus for the three-year project of which this
symposium is the opening event.

Subject: Stop Words Definition

Dear Dil,
a stop_word is a type of word that come very frequently in a text, meanwhile
it's not of a great significance. For instance, prepositions, coordinators,
determinants are stop-words. Those words are not pertinents for automatic
summerization or abstract for exemple, they are not useful for information
extracting neither. This means, in the case of abstracting, we need to
eliminate them in order to obtain the adequate key words or sentece that
describe the text.

Subject: Stop Words Definition

Greetings,

In the Information Retrieval (IR) community, stop words are defined as
grammatical or function words. They have similar frequency pattern across ALL
documents of all domains and subjects and hence they are considered "useless"
for  search and retrieval purposes. These words are typically among the most
frequent in a document or a text collection.

Hope that clarified the mystery.
