Subject:li vs. 3ind

I would agree with Waheed that the differences between ‘ma3a’, ‘li’, and
‘3inda’ are very complicated issues, but for now we can apply the 
following
generalizations to Standard Arabic.

‘li’ (actually it is just the /l/) expresses inalienable possessions 
i.e.,
things that are either inherent or can not be easily dissociated or 
disowned
such as body parts, family members, close friends, etc.
use ‘li’ for (I have a brother, a beard, good memories, wishes, a good 
friend,
black eyes, etc.)

‘3inda’ expresses alienable possessions, i.e., things that can be easily
dissociated such as artifacts, money, etc.
Use ‘3inda’ for (I have some money, a book, a headache, appointment, a 
problem
etc.)

‘ma3a’ expresses temporary possession similar to the English ‘I have it 
with
me/on me’.
Use ‘ma3a’ for (I have a dollar, my homework, your phone number etc.)


Things to watch out for
-If you own a book and have it at home use ‘3indi’, but if you have with 
you
at speech time, use ‘ma3i'
-The interpretation of possession is subject to pragmatic factors and
intensionality. For example, the choice between ‘li’ or ‘3indi’ in 
reference
to a friend, a servant, house, or a spouse (among many other traps) has
logical entailments about how you view your relationship to these. In 
other
words, ‘li zawja Amriikiyya’ (I have an American wife) has positive
connotations, but ‘3indi zawja’ implicates a negative possessive 
relationship
and presupposes having other wives.
-There are many unclear cases. For example, you say ‘3indi fikra’ (I 
have an
idea) and ‘3indi su?aal’ (I have a question), but ‘li ra?i' (I have an
opinion).
-There are many cases where the owned item is undefined in terms of
alienability and inalienabilty. For example, if you have a palm tree in 
your
back yard, the choice between ‘3indi’ or ‘li’? is a question that is 
open to
research.
-These generalizations do not work for Colloquial Arabic dialects 
because they
have different patterns.

Hope this helps

Hello All.

I am currently working on a research project and was
wondering if anyone could recommend any authors and
books (written in arabic only) on human rights written
in the last 40 years, in as many areas as possible
(land, Refugess, Women, religious minorites, etc). I'm
trying to put together a pretty extensive bibliography
on the subject and would appreciate any help.

Thanks.

The phrase 'inshaa allah' is one of the most confusing expressions for
learners of Arabic because it can be used to mean 'maybe', 'hopefully',
and
'for sure'. For a detailed study check out

Farghal, Mohammed, Pragmatics of 'Insha-Allah in Jordanian Arabic:
Multilingua, 1995, 14, 3, 253-270

You will find it usefull inshaa allah

Dear Readers:
      In trying to figure out why Microsoft Arabic Word 2000
in "Windows 98 Arabic Enabled" doesn't "save as web page" in text
readable on the Internet, I came across this link to a free Arabic
text-editor that runs on Linux. It saves in Arabic HTML(Arabic ASMO
708) It was developed in Nice, France.

http://www.langbox.com/arabic/axmedit.html

Maybe we should switch to Linux.  Does anyone know how
www.aljazeera.net, and others make such nice home pages that are so
easily read with Internet Explorer 5.1, even if you aren't running
Arabic Windows?

Please Post and Announce to Students:

Notice:
The Tangier Summer Arabic Program (directed by Driss Cherkaoui and 
managed through the American Institute for Maghrib Studies) has room for 
a few more students to fill out our summer program in intensive second 
year Arabic and Moroccan dialectical Arabic.  Students are expected to 
speak only Arabic for the majority of the day. 
 
The program is solidly funded.  Tuition, room and board waivers (and 
some travel money) are available for excellent candidates.  Good 
candidates can expect to pay in the range of $1000 to $1200 out of 
pocket.  Total fees are $2400 for tuition; $1000 for room and board, 
plus travel expenses to Tangier, Morocco.  The announcement for the 
language program can be accessed at 
http://www.la.utexas.edu/research/mena/aims/tangier/aimsweb.htm
 
Although many students may be reluctant to travel to the Middle East, 
Morocco is a stable environment removed from regional conflicts.  
Students will live at the Tangier American School, a secondary school 
with its own campus and security personnel.
 
Interested candidates may contact:
Becky Schultheis
beckys at u.arizona.edu
(520) 626-6498
 
We are extending the deadline for a few days to include additional 
students.

Word 2000 under Arabic enabled Windows 98 lets you save a file as html
Saving as html, and then using internet explorer to open it and then
resave it from ie 5.n in a new format is one of my quick and dirty's for
converting iso-8859-6 to windoze cp-1256.

As for Linux in Arabic it is coming along, but is a long way from
complete.  There is a group in Saudi Aarbia devoted to creating a linux
kernel for Arabic.  I seem to have lost the contact info, but you can
hack around and find it if you start from the gnu open source page.
It is also in a reply to me on this mail list.

Subject:Electronic Translator Query

I'm looking for an electronic Arabic-English/E-A translator, but I feel 
a little bit confused with the varied offer. I know Franklin is a good 
one. It seems also convinient because of the possibility of using the 
socalled "bookmans" (cards containing dicitonaries of languages others 
than those that the original device has). But I wonder which model is 
the most worthwhile for the investment of 200, 300 (or even more) bucks. 
I'd like to listen to someone else's opinion (about both quality and 
price) before I finally get it.
thanks a lot

Hello,

I am struggling with an arabic word "hawwaj" that I have found on an
article
on bedouins and I know it means "hawkers". By the way I can't speak nor
read
arabic, but I am learning and I would like to find a resource I can use
with
transliterated arabic to move the first steps and know more about that
word
and the corresponding semantic field.

I believe that CNN Arabic (they have a very clever logo!) has it at:
http://arabic.cnn.com/2002/summit.2002/3/28/OEGTP-PLAN-TEXT-

This page requires an arabic capable browser, such as Explorer.

I've printed this page to the attached .pdf, that can be read using any
Adobe Acrobat Reader.

I hope that helps.

Subject:Wants sources of poems

In reference to the Summary of Poem Recommendations from 11 March, I
would
be interested in sources for poetry.  For personaly development (and the
fun of it), I would like to memorize some poetry.  Does anyone have a
source for some popular poetry, both written, and in audio form?

I of course want to read the Arabic, but hearing it recited "properly"
gives me a baseline to "mimic" until I learn it well and can inject my
own
style and interpretation.

Thank you!

Hi from Berlin,

Just a wild guess ...

I assume Angelo means "hawker" in the sense of "travelling salesperson"
rather
than "a person who works with hawks".

If this is correct, maybe it means something like "an itinerant seller of
spices" with a derivation from the colloquial(?) word "hawaa'ij" used in
Saudi
Arabia and parts of Yemen to mean "spices".

Best regards,
Joe

Where they speak slowly using simplified Arabic speech.

[Moderator's Note: Please respond directly to David.  He will post a
summary to the list if the responses warrant it.   He informs me that he
is mainly interested in qualitative assessments of available programs,
not just ads for the programs.]

I wonder if you can help me. I am completing my first
year at a British univeristy in Arabic and would like
to spend this coming Summer to do a short intensive
course in Arabic and the following year also doing a
year long Arabic course in an Arab country. Would it
be possible for you to advise me in terms of which
courses I should apply for? My main interest is to
find the courses that offer the best quality of
teaching.

Any help would be appreciated.

Greetings.
This set-up procedure should work on Windows XP (this is a "quick and 
dirty how-to-do it" process; details later if needed):

1.  First, install the "Arabic" feature in 'regional settings' in your 
control panel.

That will install the critical right-to-left (RTL) drivers and Arabic 
fonts, most of which are also used in Pashto

...Notice: the Pashto alphabet has a few distinctive/unique additional 
characters, one of which looks like "teh" with a small circle attached 
underneath at the far end.

2.  I can e-mail some Farsi/Kurdihs TTF fonts that you will need to 
install and select when you start a MS Word file (and select AR = Arabic 
as the language option.

FYI...That Pashto "teh-with-dot" character is not in those TTF sets, so 
you'll have to do some Unicode search and keyboard mapping, as it's in 
there somewhere. (I don't work in Pashto, but know a few Afghan 
transators in the LA area).

Web searches for Pashto fonts might well yield the complete alphabet.

3.  Go to the Microsoft web site, enter seach term "Farsi keyboard," 
download and print that Farsi keyboard diagram (different from the 
Arabic keyboard)--- it helps if you print the diagram, then make copies 
X 125 % magnification.

4.  If you have MS Office XP or 2000 suite with that version of MS Word, 
you should be able to produce what you need in Pahsto.

(Urdu production is another and much more complex matter, BTW.)

HTH. Khair, in sha' Allah.

Subject:Pashto typing response: a warning

Greetings again.
Reminder / heads up of you plan on e-mailing Pashto MS Word files:

Whoever is receiving your e-mailed Pashto (aka Pashtu) MS Word files 
must have compatible or compliant MS Windows 2K /  XP setup to enable 
opening, displaying and editing the Pashto text.

You probably also would have to supply your online recipient with the 
TTF fonts for that work in MS Word, plus for proper opening and display 
of any Pashto PDF files.

If you need some text, brochures, scripts, etc. translated and 
word-processed into the Pashto (or other languages and alphabets of 
Eurasia/Central Asia/SW Asia), I can suggest some good, 
suitably-equipped, and discreet sources here in southern California.

HTH.

Stephen H. Franke

I don't know if it is "simplified", but I seem to have an easier time
understanding the Radio Free Iraq broadcasts.  They are in MSA - and
my guess is that it is probably easier so that more Iraqis have a
better chance of understanding.  It's part of the Radio Free
Europe/Radio Liberty group.  You can find it at:

http://www.rferl.org/bd/iq/

There are 3 hours of material each day, and you can either stream it,
or download to listen to later.  It's in RealAudio format.

The

vary
depending on where the paper is published. The system developed by
Michell is
quite frequently used in the U.S.

Hello, I recently sent in a request about information concerning
tranliteration of English into Arabic.  However, while I got many
excellent replies, what I am actually looking for is English
transliteration into Arabic, not the tranliteration of Arabic into
English.  For instance, how does an Arabic newspaper spell Pam Smith or
Fort Worth, or the like? If anyone has any ideas, sources, or articles
that deal with this, I would appreciate the references.
     Thanks,
         Emma

Subject:Would you like to outline my dissertation for me?

Dear Sir,
   First of all,let me introduce myself . I am a native
speaker of Arabic.I've a "BA" degree in English.I am a
  postgraduate student.I have finished the theoretical
  year .I am preparing a proposal for an "MA" degree at
  Constantine University in Algeria in"Linguistics and
  Translation(Arabic-English) ".My intention is to work
  within the scope of contrastive analysis and error
  analysis. I haven't limited my research topic yet
,but
  I intend to make a contrastive study between Arabic
  and English taking into account a specific aspect of
  the language that may be THE MAJOR CAUSE OF ERRORS
  MADE BY THE ARAB TRANSLATORS OR LEARNERS(beginners).
  This will be the first part of my
  Dissertation.We really lack documents in this field
in
  Algeria.I've read the few references that I have
about
  "passivization" and "transitivity", I haven't really
  noticed any difference between the two
  languages(Arabic-English) concerning the two aspects
  cited above.I don't know if the difference really
  doesn't exist or I lack documents in this
  domain."Word-order" in the structure is an aspect
that
  I also see worth debating.
  .As I didn't
  manage to get enough references about passivization"
  and "transitivity",I decided to work on " error
  analysis "in the process of translation.The suggested
  title to my dissertation is : "The influence of
  standard Arabic on translation students'
performance".
  I would like you to suggest the points that should
  be discussed,i.e.,  a kind of outline for the
  theoretical part of my dissertation.
   Concerning the second part,my intention
  is to work with English-language users (L2) who are
  starting to learn how to translate from/to
  Arabic(L1).I intend to provide my subjects with a
  passage to translate.The translation should be
  analysed  to see the type of errors and their
  sources.. So, could you please
  suggest anything that can help me fullfil my
  dissertation or send me any documents that you see
  relevent to my topic ? In case you know someboby who
  is more knowledgable about such a subject,please
refer
  me to him/her. I REALLY NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE.SO, I AM
  WAITING FOR AN ANSWER. Thank you

            Best regards,

Subject:Zakariyya Tamer in Serbian

Why, Dil, it seems obvious that I should also inform the folks of 
Zakariyya Tamer's last issue here, in Belgrade -- no matter how very few 
people can read Serbo-Croat:

li-maadha sakat al-nahr (qiSaS li-l-'aTfaal, dimashq, 1973), appeared 
two months ago in my translation as "Zasto je zacutala reka -- price za 
decu", Samizdat B92, Beograd, 2002. The book itself is more than 
beautifully designed, too.

Not so long ago Tamer's dimashq al-Haraa'iq + al-numuur fi al-yawm 
al-3aashir appeared in one book, under the title of "Atentat" (=The 
Assassination), VerzalPress, Beograd, 1998, as well as his then newest 
collection sa-naDHak, as "Smejacemo se", Paideia, 1998. As for nidaa' 
nuuH in particular, it is still under translation and should come out 
next year, I hope.

Each of his books I furnished with a longish afterward on the author's 
life with a review of the collection itself.

Translation of Tamer's latest book, entitled al-HuSrum, I finished 
almost a year before it has even been printed (he sent it to me by 
e-mail) but alas! -- I still have to look for a solvent publisher, 
though Tamer's works are jolly well accepted here by both readership and 
critic.

(Well, al-HuSrum is no more the latest, since teksiir rukab came out in 
February.)

Another curious thing, remotely connected with Zakariyya Tamer: in 
January 1975 he published, as the editor of al-mawqif al-3arabi, the 
story entitled sayyiduna al-xaliifa, written by then young Iraqi writer 
Abd al-Sattar Nassir (3abd al-sattaar naaSir) who was arrested only a 
few days after the number of the magazine appeared in Damascus and spent 
10 months in solitary confinement. In spite of that, this hardheaded 
naaSir became probably the best Iraqi short story writer and during the 
nineties used to organize literary sessions in Baghdad under the slogan 
"The Poems/Stories Inconvenient To Be Published" (al-qaSaa'id/al-qiSaS 
ghayr al-SaaliHa li-l-nashr), but he eventually escaped to Jordan in 
1999 with his wife Hadiyya Hussein on pretext that they were coming over 
to take part in the Belgrade XXXIX International Meeting of Writers. 
Knowing pretty well almost the whole Nassir’s opus (over 30 books, many 
of the stories repeating more than once, though), I wonder why nobody of 
the coleagues attempts to translate his best stories to the main world's 
languages. Perhaps the same publishers' problem like here, er? (A choice 
collection of Nassir's stories was returned to me the other day after 
two years, as the publisher eventually announced bankruptcy.) 

Srpko Lestaric,

Belgrade

Dear Friends,
Ahlan wa-sahlan.
I am about to start an Arabic HTML project.  So far, I know of only one
software package which allows this: NasherNet by Sakhr.  And I will
probably buy this package, because it seems to have some outstanding
features, according to its description.  However, it surprises me that
only one package exists.  Can it be that no other company has designed a
competing product?
Thanks and cheers from Abu Sammy

Subject:Response to revised clarified transliteration query

Dear Emma,

I don't know references. I only have a quick remark. When we write
foreign
words in Arabic we write long vowels for short ones (smiith instead of
Smith).
We do have short vowels in Arabic as diacritic marks, but we don't
normally
use them (except in special cases). So, if we read in Arabic a foreign
word
that we don't know, we may place any short vowel at random with every
consonant. It seems to me? that to the Arab reader long vowels are
closer to
their short counterparts than short vowels of a differen quality. Let me
give
an example of this point:

If the name Smith is written as s+m+th (consonants only), it may be
pronouced
by an Arab who hasn't heard the name before as
smath
smuth
smith
or even simth

Now, it seems that smiith is closer to smith than smath, smuth or simth
is.

salaam.

Dissertation Title:
Some Cognitively Controlled Coarticulatory Effects in Arabic and
English, with Particular Reference to Voice Onset Time

Linguistic Field: Phonetics

Subject Language: English, Arabic,Standard

Dissertation Director 1: Mark Tatham


Dissertation Abstract:

This study introduces one possible link needed to bridge the gap
between phonology and phonetics which have been noticed to lack a
cognitive component that takes account of phonological aspects that
are phonetically dominated. Traditionally, and on the one hand,
phonology is thought to represent and include all cognitive processes
involved in speech production. Whereas, on the other hand, phonetics
is thought to represent the 'physical' processes. In other words,
phonological assignments are simply thought to be realised
automatically without adding any further properties to any particular
segment.

But as there is clear evidence, from cross-language studies, that at
the phonetic level, there is systematic variation of actualisation
which cannot be attributed to the usual type of phonological
processes, a cognitive ('supervisory') factor has been suggested to be
added to the process at a lower level and folowing phonology. Because
this supervisory factor has 'knowledge' about the system limitation
and constraints, it provides a means of organising and controlling, to
some extent, voluntrarily, the manipulation of these physical
constraints inherent in the phonetic mechanism, according to different
linguistic requirements.

One consequence of incorporating this supervisory factor of component
is that, now, although a phenomenon like the occurrence of the delayed
onset of voice - or what is known as Voice Onset Time (VOT) -
following initial voiceless plosives describes automatic and
involuntary coarticulatory effect, it indicates the presence of a
decision taken for the purpose of linguistics. This result has been
reached on account of the occurrence of several 'zones' of VOT in some
languages in contrast to others with two zones. If that coarticulatory
effect were automatic, then it would be the same for all
languages.

In addition, through the supervisory factor, the congnitive and
physical aspects interact with each other in a way that reflects the
importance of the communicative function of speech production. This
role has been highlighted in the way physical limilts, physiological
economy constraints, and 'pronounceability' relate to each other to
end up striking a balance between articulatory simplification on the
part of the speech producer, and active listening on the part of the
perceiver.

I have not had the time to fully check out the ins and outs yet, but my
initial experimentation with Microsoft Frontpage 2002 (running on a
Windows
2000 machine with Arabic keyboard installed) confirms what I had heard
before: that it is fully Arabic enabled.  I haven't used NasherNet, so I
can't comment, but I waited a long time to see if Frontpage 2002 would
really be the version that incorporated Arabic as several people had
told me
it would be, and it seems to be.

Subject:Arabic Psychological & Psycholinguistics Research response

Greetings.

Kindly send some additional details on your specific interests.

Depending on the focus and field of your psychology research, you might
look
at the several monographs and articles (all in the English, although some
other psychologists and psychiatrists have written in the Arabic) by:

o  John Racy, MD
      (He is at University of Arizona, IIRC. His wife has also done and
published research, mostly on emigre adjustment and somatization among
Gulf
Arab populations in the GCC countries.)

o  Levon H. Melikian, MD
    (He may still be on faculty as Professor of Psychology at University
of
Qatar; at AUB during the 1970s, IIRC)

There are a few other practitioners, but I can't recall them immediately.

I would be glad to advise and refer you to some other sources as I can,
if
you kindly provide more details.

I am doing some psycholinguistics research involving assessment,
education,
training and integration of Gulf Arab managers and technicians for
technology
transfers and economic offset projects. Some initial "spin-off" results
are
apparent in regard to:

o  Arabization or adaptation of foreign terms and concepts dealing with
technologies ("Arabish" used in technology and business)

o  Concepts of leadership, decision-making, and styles of management and
operations (adaptations of TQM, Six Sigma, et al)

o  Adaptation of "management best practices" for multinational staffs and
workforces in "industrial participation" programs in the "lower Gulf"
region

HTH. Good luck.

Khair, in sha' Allah.

Subject:Another Transliteration Question

Hi from Berlin,

I was recently told by a person in Cairo who runs an online
Arabic-language
training program that there is a "standard transliteration" used by
"young Arabs
all over the world to chat on the web" in Arabic, but who use a Latin
keyboard /
operating system.

If this is correct, it would be, to the best of my knowledge, the first
transliteration system for Arabic developed and regularly used by native
speakers to communicate with each other, and as such - imho - have
strong merit
for adoption on a wider level.

Can anyone corroborate whether this "standard transliteration" actually
exists
and, if so, give us the details?

Thanks very much,
Joe

As of 29 April 2002 there are 572 Arabic-L subscribers. The number
changes daily, but has been hovering around 570.  I can't tell where
many of you come from since you use services like hotmail.com and
msn.com, but of the ones that have a country suffix there are (sorry if
I inadvertently miss some; I think there are 39 different ones):

Subject:ALS 2003 Call For Papers (Alexandria)

We are excited to announce that the 2003 Arabic Linguistic Society 
Meetings will be held in Alexandria, Egypt.  Note that the conference 
will be moved from our normal time in early March to the second week of 
May.  We are hoping that this will allow more non-Middle Eastern based 
participants to attend, and will give them a little more flexibility 
with their schedules if they would like to stay in the Middle East 
longer than the conference.  We also hope it will increase participation 
from our colleagues based in the Middle East.

Call for Papers

The Arabic Linguistics Society,
Alexandria University

announce the

Seventeenth Annual Symposium on
Arabic Linguistics

to be held at the

Cecil Hotel
Alexandria, Egypt

May 9-10, 2003

Papers are invited on topics that deal with the application of current 
linguistic theories and analyses to Arabic. Research in the following 
areas of Arabic linguistics is encouraged: grammatical analysis 
(phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics), sociolinguistics, 
psycholinguistics, discourse analysis, historical linguistics, corpus 
linguistics, computer modeling, etc.  Papers in Arabic pedagogy will 
normally not be considered.

Persons interested in presenting papers are requested to submit a 
one-page abstract giving the title of the paper, a brief statement of 
the topic, and a summary clearly stating how the topic will be developed 
(the reasoning, data, or experimental results to be presented). Authors 
are requested to be as specific as possible in describing their topics. 
Abstracts should be submitted by e-mail, where possible. The top lines 
of the message should contain the author’s name, affiliation, address, 
phone number, e-mail address, and the title of the paper.  The body of 
the abstract should then follow after 4 blank lines. The heading will be 
omitted before it is sent to the members of the paper selection 
committee. Please do not send attachments. If submitted by mail, both a 
disk copy and a hard copy are to be included. Names are not to appear on 
printed abstracts; instead, a 3x5 card with the above information should 
be enclosed. Twenty minutes will be allowed for each presentation.

2003 ALS membership dues ($25 faculty, $20 students) and conference fees 
($50 preregistered) are to be submitted with all abstracts and must be 
received by the abstract deadline.  Special financial arrangements will 
be made for local students and scholars.  Membership dues are 
non-refundable; conference fees are refundable, if requested, only to 
those whose papers are not accepted.

Deadline for Receipt of Abstracts
October 15, 2002

Abstracts should be addressed to:

Subject:li vs. 3ind

I would agree with Waheed that the differences between ?ma3a?, ?li?, and
?3inda? are very complicated issues, but for now we can apply the 
following
generalizations to Standard Arabic.

?li? (actually it is just the /l/) expresses inalienable possessions 
i.e.,
things that are either inherent or can not be easily dissociated or 
disowned
such as body parts, family members, close friends, etc.
use ?li? for (I have a brother, a beard, good memories, wishes, a good 
friend,
black eyes, etc.)

?3inda? expresses alienable possessions, i.e., things that can be easily
dissociated such as artifacts, money, etc.
Use ?3inda? for (I have some money, a book, a headache, appointment, a 
problem
etc.)

?ma3a? expresses temporary possession similar to the English ?I have it 
with
me/on me?.
Use ?ma3a? for (I have a dollar, my homework, your phone number etc.)


Things to watch out for
-If you own a book and have it at home use ?3indi?, but if you have with 
you
at speech time, use ?ma3i'
-The interpretation of possession is subject to pragmatic factors and
intensionality. For example, the choice between ?li? or ?3indi? in 
reference
to a friend, a servant, house, or a spouse (among many other traps) has
logical entailments about how you view your relationship to these. In 
other
words, ?li zawja Amriikiyya? (I have an American wife) has positive
connotations, but ?3indi zawja? implicates a negative possessive 
relationship
and presupposes having other wives.
-There are many unclear cases. For example, you say ?3indi fikra? (I 
have an
idea) and ?3indi su?aal? (I have a question), but ?li ra?i' (I have an
opinion).
-There are many cases where the owned item is undefined in terms of
alienability and inalienabilty. For example, if you have a palm tree in 
your
back yard, the choice between ?3indi? or ?li?? is a question that is 
open to
research.
-These generalizations do not work for Colloquial Arabic dialects 
because they
have different patterns.

Hope this helps

Subject:Human Rights Books Query

Hello All.

I am currently working on a research project and was
wondering if anyone could recommend any authors and
books (written in arabic only) on human rights written
in the last 40 years, in as many areas as possible
(land, Refugess, Women, religious minorites, etc). I'm
trying to put together a pretty extensive bibliography
on the subject and would appreciate any help.

Thanks.
Charley

The phrase 'inshaa allah' is one of the most confusing expressions for
learners of Arabic because it can be used to mean 'maybe', 'hopefully',
and
'for sure'. For a detailed study check out

Farghal, Mohammed, Pragmatics of 'Insha-Allah in Jordanian Arabic:
Multilingua, 1995, 14, 3, 253-270

You will find it usefull inshaa allah

thank you

Subject:Arabic editor for Linux and query

Dear Readers:
      In trying to figure out why Microsoft Arabic Word 2000
in "Windows 98 Arabic Enabled" doesn't "save as web page" in text
readable on the Internet, I came across this link to a free Arabic
text-editor that runs on Linux. It saves in Arabic HTML(Arabic ASMO
708) It was developed in Nice, France.

http://www.langbox.com/arabic/axmedit.html

Maybe we should switch to Linux.  Does anyone know how
www.aljazeera.net, and others make such nice home pages that are so
easily read with Internet Explorer 5.1, even if you aren't running
Arabic Windows?

Please Post and Announce to Students:

Notice:
The Tangier Summer Arabic Program (directed by Driss Cherkaoui and 
managed through the American Institute for Maghrib Studies) has room for 
a few more students to fill out our summer program in intensive second 
year Arabic and Moroccan dialectical Arabic.? Students are expected to 
speak only Arabic for the majority of the day.?
?
The program is solidly funded.??Tuition, room and board waivers (and 
some travel money) are available for excellent candidates.? Good 
candidates can expect to pay in the range of $1000 to $1200 out of 
pocket.? Total fees are $2400 for tuition; $1000 for room and board, 
plus travel expenses to Tangier, Morocco.? The announcement for the 
language program can be accessed at 
http://www.la.utexas.edu/research/mena/aims/tangier/aimsweb.htm
?
Although many students may be reluctant to travel to the Middle East, 
Morocco is a stable environment removed from regional conflicts.? 
Students will live at the Tangier American School, a secondary school 
with its own campus and security personnel.
?
Interested candidates may contact:
Becky Schultheis
beckys at u.arizona.edu

Word 2000 under Arabic enabled Windows 98 lets you save a file as html
Saving as html, and then using internet explorer to open it and then
resave it from ie 5.n in a new format is one of my quick and dirty's for
converting iso-8859-6 to windoze cp-1256.

As for Linux in Arabic it is coming along, but is a long way from
complete.  There is a group in Saudi Aarbia devoted to creating a linux
kernel for Arabic.  I seem to have lost the contact info, but you can
hack around and find it if you start from the gnu open source page.
It is also in a reply to me on this mail list.

one. It seems also convinient because of the possibility of using the 
socalled "bookmans" (cards containing dicitonaries of languages others 
than those that the original device has). But I wonder which model?is 
the most worthwhile for the investment of 200, 300 (or even more) bucks. 
I'd like to listen to someone else's opinion (about both quality and

Subject:the word hawwaj

Hello,

I am struggling with an arabic word "hawwaj" that I have found on an
article
on bedouins and I know it means "hawkers". By the way I can't speak nor
read
arabic, but I am learning and I would like to find a resource I can use
with
transliterated arabic to move the first steps and know more about that
word
and the corresponding semantic field.

Angelo

I believe that CNN Arabic (they have a very clever logo!) has it at:
http://arabic.cnn.com/2002/summit.2002/3/28/OEGTP-PLAN-TEXT-
SG6.reut/index.html

This page requires an arabic capable browser, such as Explorer.

I've printed this page to the attached .pdf, that can be read using any
Adobe Acrobat Reader.

I hope that helps.

Subject:Wants sources of poems

In reference to the Summary of Poem Recommendations from 11 March, I
would
be interested in sources for poetry.  For personaly development (and the
fun of it), I would like to memorize some poetry.  Does anyone have a
source for some popular poetry, both written, and in audio form?

I of course want to read the Arabic, but hearing it recited "properly"
gives me a baseline to "mimic" until I learn it well and can inject my
own
style and interpretation.

Thank you!

Hi from Berlin,

Just a wild guess ...

I assume Angelo means "hawker" in the sense of "travelling salesperson"
rather
than "a person who works with hawks".

If this is correct, maybe it means something like "an itinerant seller of
spices" with a derivation from the colloquial(?) word "hawaa'ij" used in
Saudi
Arabia and parts of Yemen to mean "spices".

Best regards,
Joe

Subject:Pashto typing response

Greetings.
This set-up procedure should work on Windows XP (this is a "quick and 
dirty how-to-do it" process; details later if needed):

1.? First, install the "Arabic" feature in 'regional settings' in your 
control panel.

That will install the critical right-to-left (RTL) drivers and Arabic 
fonts, most of which are also used in Pashto

...Notice: the Pashto alphabet has a few distinctive/unique additional 
characters, one of which looks like "teh" with a small circle attached 
underneath at the far end.

2.? I can e-mail some Farsi/Kurdihs TTF fonts that you will need to 
install and select when you start a MS Word file (and select AR = Arabic 
as the language option.

FYI...That Pashto "teh-with-dot" character is not in those TTF sets, so 
you'll have to do some Unicode search and keyboard mapping, as it's in 
there somewhere. (I don't work in Pashto, but know a few Afghan 
transators in the LA area).

Web searches for Pashto fonts might well yield the complete alphabet.

3.? Go to the Microsoft web site, enter seach term "Farsi keyboard," 
download and print that Farsi keyboard diagram (different from the 
Arabic keyboard)--- it helps if you print the diagram, then make copies 
X 125 % magnification.

4.? If you have MS Office XP or 2000 suite with that version of MS Word, 
you should be able to produce what you need in Pahsto.

(Urdu production is another and much more complex matter, BTW.)

HTH. Khair, in sha' Allah.

Subject:Pashto typing response: a warning

Greetings again.
Reminder / heads up of you plan on e-mailing Pashto MS Word files:

Whoever is receiving your e-mailed Pashto (aka Pashtu) MS Word files 
must have compatible or compliant MS Windows 2K /? XP setup to enable 
opening, displaying and editing the Pashto text.

You probably also would have to supply your online recipient with the 
TTF fonts for that work in MS Word, plus for proper opening and display 
of any Pashto PDF files.

If you need some text, brochures, scripts, etc. translated and 
word-processed into the Pashto (or other languages and alphabets of 
Eurasia/Central Asia/SW Asia), I can suggest some good, 
suitably-equipped, and discreet sources here in southern California.

HTH.

I know of a Classical Arabic immersion program in Harasta, Syria for
  preschoolers ages 3 to 5 years old. The director/owner of the preschool
  lectures throughout the Middle East on the advantages of immersion in
  Classical Arabic at this age as an aid to reading acquisition in
  Arabic.

I don't know if it is "simplified", but I seem to have an easier time
understanding the Radio Free Iraq broadcasts.  They are in MSA - and
my guess is that it is probably easier so that more Iraqis have a
better chance of understanding.  It's part of the Radio Free
Europe/Radio Liberty group.  You can find it at:

http://www.rferl.org/bd/iq/

There are 3 hours of material each day, and you can either stream it,
or download to listen to later.  It's in RealAudio format.

It is my understanding that there is one standard tranliteration system.
The
transcription/stransliteration systems used in publications on Arabic
vary
depending on where the paper is published. The system developed by
Michell is
quite frequently used in the U.S.

Response on immersion programs or MSA studies in the Arab world.

I know of at least 2 good programs in Morocco. One at the Al-Akhawayn
University at Ifrane (AUI)that runs every summer, with a language &
culture component, and one at ALIF (Arabic Language Institute of Fes)
that runs year-round courses, general as well as tailor made for

Hi Dale,
the only public access site where you can hear recitation of Arabic poems
(that I came across when searching) is the following:

http://lexicorient.com/cgi-bin/eo-direct-frame.pl?http://i-

where you can hear Mahmoud Darwish reciting one of his poems.
Did you get any other suggestions?

excellent replies, what I am actually looking for is English
transliteration into Arabic, not the tranliteration of Arabic into
English.  For instance, how does an Arabic newspaper spell Pam Smith or
Fort Worth, or the like? If anyone has any ideas, sources, or articles
that deal with this, I would appreciate the references.

  Constantine University in Algeria in"Linguistics and
  Translation(Arabic-English) ".My intention is to work
  within the scope of contrastive analysis and error
  analysis. I haven't limited my research topic yet
,but
  I intend to make a contrastive study between Arabic
  and English taking into account a specific aspect of
  the language that may be THE MAJOR CAUSE OF ERRORS
  MADE BY THE ARAB TRANSLATORS OR LEARNERS(beginners).
  This will be the first part of my
  Dissertation.We really lack documents in this field
in
  Algeria.I've read the few references that I have
about
  "passivization" and "transitivity", I haven't really
  noticed any difference between the two
  languages(Arabic-English) concerning the two aspects
  cited above.I don't know if the difference really
  doesn't exist or I lack documents in this
  domain."Word-order" in the structure is an aspect
that
  I also see worth debating.
  .As I didn't
  manage to get enough references about passivization"
  and "transitivity",I decided to work on " error
  analysis "in the process of translation.The suggested
  title to my dissertation is : "The influence of
  standard Arabic on translation students'
performance".
  I would like you to suggest the points that should
  be discussed,i.e.,  a kind of outline for the
  theoretical part of my dissertation.
   Concerning the second part,my intention
  is to work with English-language users (L2) who are
  starting to learn how to translate from/to
  Arabic(L1).I intend to provide my subjects with a
  passage to translate.The translation should be
  analysed  to see the type of errors and their
  sources.. So, could you please
  suggest anything that can help me fullfil my
  dissertation or send me any documents that you see
  relevent to my topic ? In case you know someboby who
  is more knowledgable about such a subject,please
refer
  me to him/her. I REALLY NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE.SO, I AM
  WAITING FOR AN ANSWER. Thank you

Subject:Zakariyya Tamer in Serbian

Why,?Dil, it seems obvious that I should also inform the folks of 
Zakariyya Tamer's last issue here, in Belgrade -- no matter how very few 
people can read Serbo-Croat:

li-maadha sakat al-nahr (qiSaS li-l-'aTfaal, dimashq, 1973),?appeared 
two months ago in my translation as "Zasto je zacutala reka -- price za 
decu", Samizdat B92, Beograd, 2002. The book itself is more than 
beautifully designed, too.

Not so long ago Tamer's dimashq al-Haraa'iq + al-numuur fi al-yawm 
al-3aashir appeared in one book, under the title of "Atentat" (=The 
Assassination), VerzalPress, Beograd, 1998, as well as his then newest 
collection sa-naDHak, as "Smejacemo se", Paideia, 1998. As for nidaa' 
nuuH in particular, it is still under translation and should come out 
next year, I hope.

Each of his books I furnished with a longish afterward on the author's 
life with a review of the collection itself.

Translation of Tamer's latest book, entitled al-HuSrum, I finished 
almost a year before it has even been printed (he sent it to me by 
e-mail)?but alas! -- I still have to look for a solvent publisher, 
though Tamer's works are jolly well accepted here by both readership and 
critic.

(Well, al-HuSrum is no more the latest, since teksiir rukab came out in 
February.)

Another curious thing, remotely connected with Zakariyya Tamer: in 
January 1975 he published, as the editor of al-mawqif al-3arabi, the 
story entitled sayyiduna al-xaliifa, written by then young Iraqi writer 
Abd al-Sattar Nassir (3abd al-sattaar naaSir) who was arrested only a 
few days after the number of the magazine appeared in Damascus and spent 
10 months in?solitary confinement. In spite of that, this hardheaded 
naaSir became?probably the best Iraqi short story writer and during the 
nineties used to organize literary sessions in Baghdad under the slogan 
"The Poems/Stories Inconvenient To Be Published" (al-qaSaa'id/al-qiSaS 
ghayr al-SaaliHa li-l-nashr), but he eventually escaped to Jordan in 
1999 with his wife Hadiyya Hussein on pretext that they were coming over 
to take part in the Belgrade XXXIX International Meeting of Writers. 
Knowing pretty well almost the whole Nassir?s opus (over 30 books, many 
of the stories repeating more than once, though), I wonder why nobody of 
the coleagues attempts to translate his best stories to the main world's 
languages. Perhaps the same publishers' problem like here, er? (A choice 
collection of Nassir's stories was returned to me the other day after 
two years, as the publisher eventually announced bankruptcy.)?

Belgrade

Dear Friends,
Ahlan wa-sahlan.
I am about to start an Arabic HTML project.  So far, I know of only one
software package which allows this: NasherNet by Sakhr.  And I will
probably buy this package, because it seems to have some outstanding
features, according to its description.  However, it surprises me that
only one package exists.  Can it be that no other company has designed a
competing product?
Thanks and cheers from Abu Sammy

Subject:Response to revised clarified transliteration query

Dear Emma,

I don't know references. I only have a quick remark. When we write
foreign
words in Arabic we write long vowels for short ones (smiith instead of
Smith).
We do have short vowels in Arabic as diacritic marks, but we don't
normally
use them (except in special cases). So, if we read in Arabic a foreign
word
that we don't know, we may place any short vowel at random with every
consonant. It seems to me? that to the Arab reader long vowels are
closer to
their short counterparts than short vowels of a differen quality. Let me
give
an example of this point:

If the name Smith is written as s+m+th (consonants only), it may be
pronouced
by an Arab who hasn't heard the name before as
smath
smuth
smith
or even simth

Now, it seems that smiith is closer to smith than smath, smuth or simth
is.

salaam.

Institution: University of  Essex
Program: Phonetics
Dissertation Status: Completed
Degree Date: 1996

Author: Mohammad Maher Jesry

Dissertation Title:
Some Cognitively Controlled Coarticulatory Effects in Arabic and
English, with Particular Reference to Voice Onset Time

Linguistic Field: Phonetics

Subject Language: English, Arabic,Standard

Dissertation Director 1: Mark Tatham


Dissertation Abstract:

This study introduces one possible link needed to bridge the gap
between phonology and phonetics which have been noticed to lack a
cognitive component that takes account of phonological aspects that
are phonetically dominated. Traditionally, and on the one hand,
phonology is thought to represent and include all cognitive processes
involved in speech production. Whereas, on the other hand, phonetics
is thought to represent the 'physical' processes. In other words,
phonological assignments are simply thought to be realised
automatically without adding any further properties to any particular
segment.

But as there is clear evidence, from cross-language studies, that at
the phonetic level, there is systematic variation of actualisation
which cannot be attributed to the usual type of phonological
processes, a cognitive ('supervisory') factor has been suggested to be
added to the process at a lower level and folowing phonology. Because
this supervisory factor has 'knowledge' about the system limitation
and constraints, it provides a means of organising and controlling, to
some extent, voluntrarily, the manipulation of these physical
constraints inherent in the phonetic mechanism, according to different
linguistic requirements.

One consequence of incorporating this supervisory factor of component
is that, now, although a phenomenon like the occurrence of the delayed
onset of voice - or what is known as Voice Onset Time (VOT) -
following initial voiceless plosives describes automatic and
involuntary coarticulatory effect, it indicates the presence of a
decision taken for the purpose of linguistics. This result has been
reached on account of the occurrence of several 'zones' of VOT in some
languages in contrast to others with two zones. If that coarticulatory
effect were automatic, then it would be the same for all
languages.

In addition, through the supervisory factor, the congnitive and
physical aspects interact with each other in a way that reflects the
importance of the communicative function of speech production. This
role has been highlighted in the way physical limilts, physiological
economy constraints, and 'pronounceability' relate to each other to
end up striking a balance between articulatory simplification on the
part of the speech producer, and active listening on the part of the
perceiver.

I have not had the time to fully check out the ins and outs yet, but my
initial experimentation with Microsoft Frontpage 2002 (running on a
Windows
2000 machine with Arabic keyboard installed) confirms what I had heard
before: that it is fully Arabic enabled.  I haven't used NasherNet, so I
can't comment, but I waited a long time to see if Frontpage 2002 would
really be the version that incorporated Arabic as several people had
told me
it would be, and it seems to be.

Reply to Iana's question:  definitely Georgetown, the department of
Arabic Language, Literature and Linguistics has both you want, a focus
on linguistics and on pedagogy.

Subject:Arabic Psychological & Psycholinguistics Research response

Greetings.

Kindly send some additional details on your specific interests.

Depending on the focus and field of your psychology research, you might
look
at the several monographs and articles (all in the English, although some
other psychologists and psychiatrists have written in the Arabic) by:

o  John Racy, MD
      (He is at University of Arizona, IIRC. His wife has also done and
published research, mostly on emigre adjustment and somatization among
Gulf
Arab populations in the GCC countries.)

o  Levon H. Melikian, MD
    (He may still be on faculty as Professor of Psychology at University
of
Qatar; at AUB during the 1970s, IIRC)

There are a few other practitioners, but I can't recall them immediately.

I would be glad to advise and refer you to some other sources as I can,
if
you kindly provide more details.

I am doing some psycholinguistics research involving assessment,
education,
training and integration of Gulf Arab managers and technicians for
technology
transfers and economic offset projects. Some initial "spin-off" results
are
apparent in regard to:

o  Arabization or adaptation of foreign terms and concepts dealing with
technologies ("Arabish" used in technology and business)

o  Concepts of leadership, decision-making, and styles of management and
operations (adaptations of TQM, Six Sigma, et al)

o  Adaptation of "management best practices" for multinational staffs and
workforces in "industrial participation" programs in the "lower Gulf"
region

HTH. Good luck.

Khair, in sha' Allah.

Regards from Los Angeles,

Stephen H. Franke

Subject:Another Transliteration Question

Hi from Berlin,

I was recently told by a person in Cairo who runs an online
Arabic-language
training program that there is a "standard transliteration" used by
"young Arabs
all over the world to chat on the web" in Arabic, but who use a Latin
keyboard /
operating system.

If this is correct, it would be, to the best of my knowledge, the first
transliteration system for Arabic developed and regularly used by native
speakers to communicate with each other, and as such - imho - have
strong merit
for adoption on a wider level.

Can anyone corroborate whether this "standard transliteration" actually
exists
and, if so, give us the details?

Thanks very much,
Joe

Hi everybody and epsecially, hi to you, Dil.

I just have a very simple question that you can
respond directly to me in order to avoid make people
waste precious time: how many Arabic-L members are
we??

Every time I go through that dear bunch of Arabic-L
emails in my box I discover people writing from so
many different and remote places...

Sorry for this no-scientifical request. I'm done with
my winter semester work and I have plenty of time to
make up such crucial inquiries...

Subject:The Answer: How many subscribers on Arabic-L?

As of 29 April 2002 there are 572 Arabic-L subscribers. The number
changes daily, but has been hovering around 570.  I can't tell where
many of you come from since you use services like hotmail.com and
msn.com, but of the ones that have a country suffix there are (sorry if
I inadvertently miss some; I think there are 39 different ones):

ar
at
au
be
bh
bn
br
ca
ch
cz
de
dk
eg
es
fi
fr
il
ir
it
jo
jp
kr
kw
lb
ma
mt
mx
my
nl
no
nz
om
sa
se
sg
su
tn
uk
yu

I know a lot of these but not all.  If someone really has nothing to do,
and wants to amuse themselves by filling out the country names of these
suffixes, I'll post it.  In addition, of course, there are many many
different .edu addresses, as well as many .orgs.

Subject:ALS 2003 Call For Papers (Alexandria)

We are excited to announce that the 2003 Arabic Linguistic Society 
Meetings will be held in Alexandria, Egypt.  Note that the conference 
will be moved from our normal time in early March to the second week of 
May.  We are hoping that this will allow more non-Middle Eastern based 
participants to attend, and will give them a little more flexibility 
with their schedules if they would like to stay in the Middle East 
longer than the conference.  We also hope it will increase participation 
from our colleagues based in the Middle East.

Call for Papers

The Arabic Linguistics Society,
Alexandria University

announce the

Seventeenth Annual Symposium on
Arabic Linguistics

to be held at the

Cecil Hotel
Alexandria, Egypt

May 9-10, 2003

Papers are invited on topics that deal with the application of current 
linguistic theories and analyses to Arabic. Research in the following 
areas of Arabic linguistics is encouraged: grammatical analysis 
(phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics), sociolinguistics, 
psycholinguistics, discourse analysis, historical linguistics, corpus 
linguistics, computer modeling, etc.  Papers in Arabic pedagogy will 
normally not be considered.

Persons interested in presenting papers are requested to submit a 
one-page abstract giving the title of the paper, a brief statement of 
the topic, and a summary clearly stating how the topic will be developed 
(the reasoning, data, or experimental results to be presented). Authors 
are requested to be as specific as possible in describing their topics. 
Abstracts should be submitted by e-mail, where possible. The top lines 
of the message should contain the author?s name, affiliation, address, 
phone number, e-mail address, and the title of the paper.  The body of 
the abstract should then follow after 4 blank lines. The heading will be 
omitted before it is sent to the members of the paper selection 
committee. Please do not send attachments. If submitted by mail, both a 
disk copy and a hard copy are to be included. Names are not to appear on 
printed abstracts; instead, a 3x5 card with the above information should 
be enclosed. Twenty minutes will be allowed for each presentation.

2003 ALS membership dues ($25 faculty, $20 students) and conference fees 
($50 preregistered) are to be submitted with all abstracts and must be 
received by the abstract deadline.  Special financial arrangements will 
be made for local students and scholars.  Membership dues are 
non-refundable; conference fees are refundable, if requested, only to 
those whose papers are not accepted.

Deadline for Receipt of Abstracts
October 15, 2002

Abstracts should be addressed to:

Tessa Hauglid	
1346 South 2950 East	
Spanish Fork, UT 84660 USA
