Dissertation Title:
A Comparative Study of Middle and Inchoative Alternations in Arabic
and English

Linguistic Field: Syntax, Semantics
Subject Language: Arabic, Standard

Dissertation Abstract:
	
This study presents a detailed analysis of the semantic, syntactic and
morphological features of the middle and inchoative (unaccusative)
alternations in Arabic and English. The issue of the middle/
unaccusative contrast and the question of whether middles constitute a
semantically and syntactically uniform class are also addressed. On
the basis of this analysis, a new typology of the middle and
unaccusative verbs in the two languages has been proposed.  In
addition to the semantic properties and the syntactic behavior of
these verbs, this typology is conditioned some contextual and
pragmatic factors.  The following are the main conclusions of this
study: (i) Given the class of the unmarked unaccusatives and the class
of the morphological intransitives, the morphological condition for
the formation of Arabic unaccusatives is neither necessary nor
sufficient.  (ii) Unlike English, Arabic does not have semantic or
syntactic restrictions analogous to those that distinguish the English
middles from unaccusatives.  (iii) The English verbs known in the
literature as middles do not constitute a semantically or
syntactically uniform class. (iv) Despite the fact that Arabic and
English are typologically different and genetically unrelated, the two
languages exhibit significant similarities with respect to the
semantic and syntactic properties of the middle and unaccusative
alternations.

		The Hebrew University of Jerusalem

		is pleased to announce the publication of

		"A Handbook of Early Middle Arabic" (260 pp.)

			 by Joshua Blau

	In the present "Handbook of Early Middle Arabic",  Professor
Joshua Blau of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the undisputed dean
of  the study of Middle Arabic, presents a reliable and up-to-date
survey, comprehensive yet concise, of the whole field.
	The Handbook contains a grammatical outline of Middle Arabic
structure, annotated examples of the main Middle Arabic varieties and
a glossary of all words occurring in the book.
	An important feature of the book is the variety of texts
presented. These  cover (a)  Muslim, (b)  Christian and  (c) Jewish
Middle  Arabic, each represented by typical or noteworthy examples,
some of them published  here for the first time. Particularly
significant are the  Jewish texts, Rabbanite and Karaite, which have
been
transmitted in  different orthographical modes. Standard Judaeo-Arabic
orthography is represented by samples from Saadia Gaon, Qirqisani  and
David  b.  Abraham al-Fasi. Linguistically more revealing are
Judaeo-Arabic writings in the earlier phonetic orthography; these are
exemplified  in  the  Handbook  by selected texts on papyrus,
by specimens of a translation  of Halakhot Pesuqot and a translation of
the Biblical  book of Proverbs.
	In the Appendix, two examples of vocalized Middle Arabic are
given: one written  in Coptic characters, the other a Judaeo-Arabic
letter from the Cairo Geniza.
	Professor Blau's "Handbook" will  enable all  Arabists to gain
immediate access to the world of Middle Arabic,  guided in their journey
by the leading authority in the field. On the one  hand, scholars
familiar only with the  classical, literary tongue will be able  to see
in what directions the language subsequently developed;  on the other
hand, Arabic dialectologists will be afforded a valuable glimpse into
the history of modern colloquial  forms. The "Handbook..." will thus be
a
valuable tool for all who are concerned with  the history of the Arabic
tongue.

	The price of the volume is  $47.00. Postage and  handling: $2.00
for  the  first  volume;  $1.00  for  each additional volume.
Individual
members  of   the  association "From Jahiliyya to Islam" pay $33 + $2.00
(members' price is valid for direct sales only, not through
booksellers). Cheques payable to the Schloessinger Memorial Foundation
should be sent to the Director of Publications, The Max
Schloessinger Memorial Foundation, Institute of Asian and African
Studies,

cannot accept Eurocheques or credit cards, but personal and

Subject:OS X Jaguar Arabic Support

Greetings, all:

I went ahead and installed MacOS X 10.2 ("Jaguar") and they seem to be
getting closer to decent unicode support, including for Arabic. A few
observations:

1. The terminal window uses UTF-8, but the Aqua applications (e.g.
textedit) need UTF-16.
2. To convert Windows Arabic to Unicode, use this command from the
terminal window:
       %iconv -f cp1256 -t utf-8 [filename]
       then pipe it to another file, or whatever.
3. Lynx can be modified to show UTF-8.
4. "less" can be fooled into showing UTF-8 by telling it the charset is
koi8
5. So far, none of the browsers do a decent job of displaying Arabic
6. For Aqua apps, I think a recompile is needed before we can be
certain that the new-and-improved unicode support is implemented.

More updates as events warrant.

Cheers,

Dan.

I've corresponded with Dan since receiving the above note.  It turns
out that TextEdit can be set (in preferences) for either UTF-8 or
UTF-16.  Both work relatively well, but UTF-8 puts the periods at the
beginning instead of at the end (like html does if you don't declare
the document to be right to left), whereas UTF-16 apparently does not.

Subject:OS X Jaguar Arabic Support:making your own keyboard layout for
Arabic input

One of the nice things about Arabic on a Mac (and in my opinion one of
the annoying things about Arabic on a PC) is that you have always been
able to create your own keyboard layout on the Mac.  I have just found
out how to do this for Jaguar, and thought I would pass it on.  You
simply need a resource (.rsrc) file in the Keyboard Layouts folder in
the main library folder.  You can enter your desired layout in the
format below, paste it into a window in the web site below, and it will
create the resource file and download it to your desktop. Be sure to
give the layout an appropriate name before you create the .rsrc file.
Once the file downloads, you canrename it if you wish (probably with
the same name you gave the layout, but keeping the .rsrc suffix) and
move it to the above mentioned folder.  Then go into international and
choose that keyboard, and it will become one of the choices under the
American Flag for keyboard layouts.  Here is the website:

http://wordherd.com/keyboards/

The layout shows the input key first, followed by a space, and then the
output unicode.  In the following chart, I have listed all the
available 'main' Arabic unicode characters (with a gloss after the ::
so you can tell what letter it is supposed to be.  To make your own,
simply copy the chart below, and replace my input letters with your
own, keeping everything else the same.  You can only list the lower
case characters.  Put S before if you mean the shifted version, O for
the option version, and OS for shift option.  The Arabic codes have no
period or colon (they use the Latin ones) so if you are inputting
either or both of those with themselves, delete those lines from this
list.  They are here only if you want to input them by typing something
other than them (that makes sense doesn't it?)

Use Mozilla 1.1 It supports Arabic on both OS 9 and OS 10.2
I had the guys at Apple store download the OS X version of Mozilla and  
we
were able to view Arabic without having the Arabic fonts installed.

Subject: Use IE

Hello

Internet Explorer should show Arabic script, but you have to
choose 'View', 'Encoding', 'Arabic'. Otherwise, download Sindbad
from www.sakhr.com which enables you to see Arabic texts on
Mac.

Arabic text in (Adobe page maker) should be saved in text format
first then you can transfer it into a text format that can be read on
Windows. To do that use the Windows platform with the help of a
program which you can download from the page of Knut Vikor at
www.hf.uib.no/smi/ksv/arabhome.html


I hope this will help

Subject: Use IE

On OS X, including Jaguar, IE doesn't have the option of choosing  
"View," "Encoding," "Arabic" or anything like unto it, as far as I can  
tell.  Perhaps the above advice is for System 9 or before.

The sakhr site says they don't support Sindbad anymore, and there are  
no obvious downloads for Mac.  All appear to be for the PC.  So unless  
someone gives me more evidence, I would discount the first paragraph of  
the above advice.

Subject: Use Kalimat

Layout Ltd. and AramediA Group announce the
release of Version 3.0 of its top-selling Arabization
utility, Kalimat.  Thousands of installations in the
Arab world, designers are well acquainted with the
utility, which allows them to use Arabic with all
Macintosh illustration and photo retouching programs.

Users simply type and edit text in Kalimat and
export it to non-Arabic applications, such as Adobe
PhotoShop and Illustrator and Macromedia Freehand.
The end result is creation of stunning effects in
Arabic, with no need for an Arabic operating system
or Arabic Language Kit.

Improvements in the enhanced version are initially
evident in an innovative new user interface.  Then
comes a range of powerful additional features.

Users can now export multi-line paragraphs, use
palettes and measurement units to resize windows
for easy text export, export selected text only,
and import Arabic text from both Macintosh and
Windows platforms.  Users can also create Farsi,
Jawi, and any other right-to-left language in
Kalimat.  Further, Kalimat comes bundled with 30
high quality Arabic fonts. Additional fonts are
available optionally on CD-ROM from Layout's
extensive fonts library.

Kalimat 3.0 full packages (USB & ADB versions) and
upgrades are available for immediate shipping.

appreciate any info that you might know of on Medieval Egypt"
Her name is Maryann Shenoda and she is planning to do doctoral work on
Coptic writers. I have no clue about the literature in this area. I was
hoping that maybe someone out there might be able to help her. Perhaps
if
someone knows of another list whose members would know more about this

they could let her know.

Thank you for sharing such a sad news. My condolences to you, to the  
family and to the immediate colleagues of George.

His passing is a great loss to us and to the field, and a reminder that  
we are not doing enough to benefit from giants like him in this unique

Dear Ghada

There is a very interesting and detailed description of Egyptian Arabic
during the Fatimid period. Here is the reference:

`aTiyya Sulaymaan Ahmed. 2000. Al-lahja al-miSriyya al-faaTimiyya:
diraasa tariikhiyya waSfiyya. Cairo: Daar an-nahDa al1arabiyaa.

The book is in Arabic and it is not very available. If you have problems
getting it, please let me know. I might be able to help.

Good Luck
Mustafa Mughazy

My question is this one: is there a pattern to English of which Arabic  
was the original? Can one detect the style of the originator with  
computational linguistics?
 
Please see my site http://arabia.freehosting.net/decoding.htm. If an
entropy program were run on this English, could one
classify the English as British, American or Arabian?
 
PS. Can one detect the style of Osama bin Laden from
the English translation by linguistic classification?

Subject:New Arab World website

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
September 3, 2002

Contact:  Clara Yu, Director, National Institute for Technology and  
Liberal Education (NITLE), 802-443-5507

The National Institute for Technology and Liberal Education (NITLE) is  
pleased to announce the publication of an extensive on-line curricular  
resource on the Arab world. The Arab Culture and Civilization website  
() was conceived in the days following last September 11, as the  
liberal arts colleges in NITLE’s network struggled to help their  
students and faculty make sense of the tragedy and respond  
constructively to the need to understand the part of the world from  
which it emerged.

NITLE, based in Burlington, Vermont and funded by the Andrew W. Mellon  
Foundation, serves as a catalyst for innovation and collaboration for  
national liberal arts colleges as they seek to make effective use of  
technology to enhance teaching, learning, scholarship, and information  
management.

After September 11, NITLE’s leadership recognized that most of its  
affiliated colleges did not have comprehensive curricular offerings to  
satisfy intense student interest in the Islamic world, Arab culture,  
and the Middle East. In response, NITLE developed a website to answer  
this immediate and compelling need, initially focusing on the Arab  
World.

Over the past year, content editors, web applications developers and  
designers, numerous content consultants, and a host of other  
contributors have assembled a diverse and impressive collection of  
multimedia materials on the Arab World, from history to popular  
culture, and from the origins of Islam to Arab communities in the  
United States.  All of these materials are now available online for  
educational use by the students and faculty of NITLE’s constituent  
schools, and by the public at large, thanks to the generous sponsorship  
of the Mellon Foundation. The materials offered by the site could be  
used as the basis for a new introductory course, to support an existing  
course, or to enable students, faculty, and the general public to  
further their own research or learning goals.

  “We set out to create a site that is academic in nature, constructive  
and humanistic in tone, and richly contextualized in presentation,”  
said Clara Yu, NITLE’s Director.  “This has been an ambitious  
undertaking, and the site will remain ‘incomplete,’ with additions and  
refinements appearing through contributions from our colleagues. In  
short, this is an endeavor that was initiated by NITLE, but will  
continue through the collective efforts of our affiliated colleges.”

Currently, the site includes nearly 50 full-text readings, with an  
equal number in process to be added in the coming weeks. In the History  
module, for example, a chapter entitled “The Myth of the Middle East  
Madman,” from Stephen Humphreys’ Between Memory and Desire: The Middle  
East in a Troubled Age (University of California Press, 1999) helps  
Americans assess recent Middle Eastern history from the perspective of  
some of the key players.

The module on Islam includes ten selections from John Esposito’s  
forthcoming book, What Everyone Needs to Know About Islam (Oxford  
University Press, 2002), and excerpts from Approaching the Qur’an: The  
Early Revelations, by Michael Sells (White Cloud Press, 1999), recently  
the subject of controversy because of its assignment for discussion by  
entering students at the University of North Carolina.

Other modules address the topics of Ethnicity and Identity, Arab  
Americans, Literature and Philosophy, Popular Culture and the  
Performing Arts, Family and Society, Art and Architecture, The Arabic  
Language, and Geography, Demographics, and Resources.

In addition to readings, most modules include recorded interviews with  
experts in the field. The Popular Culture module includes scenes from  
important works of Arab cinema, and many links to sites where Arab  
music can be enjoyed online.

Each module includes an extensive bibliography as well as a set of  
external links to sites that have been evaluated by our editorial staff  
for their usefulness in furthering the objectives of the Arab Culture  
and Civilization site. Coming soon are galleries of images for each  
module.

The content editors for Arab Culture and Civilization, version 1.0,  
were Nabil Abdelfattah of Western Michigan University, Director of the  
Middlebury College School of Arabic, and Michael Toler of Binghamton  
University. Advisors to the project were Patricia Crone of the  
Institute for Advanced Study, and Mahmoud Al-Batal of Emory University.  
Maciej Ceglowski, web applications developer at the Center for  
Educational Technology, Middlebury College, was the principal site  
designer and programmer.  Many other contributors are listed on the  
site’s acknowledgements page

The groundwork for future expansion of the site was already being laid  
this summer, even before version 1.0 was released. In July, a group of  
faculty and one librarian convened by NITLE from liberal arts colleges  
across the United States met at the Center for Educational Technology  
(CET), Middlebury College, Vermont, to develop innovative collaborative  
courses and learning modules for the study of the Islamic world, Arab  
culture, and the Middle East. A wide range of disciplines was  
represented, ranging from religious studies to psychology, art history  
to political science.

The seminar, facilitated by Kenneth Morrell, Professor of Greek and  
Roman Studies at Rhodes College in Memphis, Tennessee, resulted in the  
initiation of several learning modules and two inter-institutional  
courses.

Online learning modules underdevelopment include an introduction to  
Islam; Arab and Muslim architecture; comparative politics of Islamic  
states; an interactive close reading of passages from the Qur’an; an  
introduction to Sufism; theater and performance in Middle Eastern and  
Islamic cultures; adolescent psychology and Moroccan culture; an  
introduction to the Arabic language; Black Muslim women in America; an  
interactive simulation of a day in the life of a Muslim in several  
different contexts; Arab women writers.

The inter-institutional courses planned by the group are “Children of  
Abraham: Muslim-Jewish Relations,” which explores the rich,  
intertwined, and often tragic collective history of these two groups,  
beginning with the Qur’an and concluding with current events, and  
“Islam in North America, ” which introduces students to one of the  
vibrant, yet little understood, instances of Islamic global culture by  
examining everyday life, history, politics, customs, and current events  
in Islamic communities from Chicago to Toronto.  These courses, planned  
for 2003 and 2004, will bring students and faculty on multiple campuses  
together via the internet.

For more information on the seminar and its participants, see  
http://www.nitle.org/programs_arab_init.php, and the NITLE newsletter

Dear ARABIC-L members,

Yesterday the New York Times ran a good article about the great writer
Naguib Mahfouz... You can access it at:

http://www.nytimes.com/2002/09/16/books/16MAHF.html

Naguib Mahfouz: The Passage of the Century is a recent documentary film
about the only Arab to win the Nobel Prize for Literature:

Author of the acclaimed "Cairo Trilogy," "The Harafish," "Arabian Nights
and Days" and many other novels and collections of short stories, Naguib
Mahfouz weaves the threads of his life together with his view of
society,
his childhood, his discovery of literature (Egyptian and Western), the
city
of Cairo (which he left only three times in his life), Islamic
fundamentalism, the evolution of Egypt, the role of women, and the
future
of civilization.

Dear All,
For the benefit of many on this list, including yours truly, I would
like to post the following question which a colleague recently asked
me. I have already told him about ACTFL's OPI (Oral Proficiency
Interview):
"In the US and/or Europe, are there written (as opposed to the purely
oral OPI) internationally recognized exams for non-native speakers of
Arabic similar to TOEFL for non-native speakers of English? How can an
individual or institution take such an exam?
Also, are there such exams for NATIVE speakers of Arabic as well in the
Arab World or in the West?"

Dear Arabic-L,

         Within the last year or year and a half I saw a discussion about
Arabic internet sites, including a very valuable one which included a
search engine of just huge amounts of classical texts (not just
poetry).  Would anyone please refresh my memory...I seem not to have
bookmarked it!

Dear Arabic-L members

The best website ever for classical Arabic texts is
http://www.alwaraq.com/
You will find hundreds of full text books on linguistics, history,
geography, philosophy etc. You can only view them online though.

There is also another bilingual site that is geared mainly towards

also has sound files for listening to Quran by different reciters:

Subject:Hypercard, Nisus and other OS X queries

With the advent of OS X, and the subsequent upgrade of institution
machines to that version, many problems are liable to surface.  For
example, it is my understanding that Apple is withdrawing support for
Hypercard(?), and Nisus might not function.  Is this true, and are there
other applications that will not work?
What potential problems lie ahead, and what recommended fixes or
strategies are available?

Subject:Partial resonse to #1

Apple is no longer developing or supporting Hypercard.  Since it is a
'legacy' program, it will currently run only under Classic, and as you
upgrade more and more of your programs to OS X, running things under
Classic becomes more and more annoying.
Nisus claims that it is coming up with an OS X version, so there is
more hope there.
Quark currently also does not have an OS X version, so the Arabic XT
extensions also run only under Classic.  They claim they will
eventually upgrade to OS X, but by that time everyone may have switched
to InDesign.
Revolution is a kind of Hypercard Clone that does run under OS X, and
which they claim will have Unicode support.  People like it a lot for
porting old Hypercard stacks to, and it is cross platform (you can
develop on Mac or PC, and run on Mac or PC if you follow certain
restrictions), but I have not yet been successful in getting it to
display Arabic adequately.
The major problem that I currently see is that although OS X has
unicode support, you still need applications that are programmed to
support Arabic input and right to left display, and contextual
character shaping.  There is no evidence that anyone is 'rushing' to
provide these applications.  I assume we'll eventually have something
decent, but nothing is really decent yet.  You can get Arabic text in
TextEdit for example, but decent is not an appropriate word to describe
the results.
Other responses to Wahid's query are, of course, welcome.

Alternations in Arabic"


New Dissertation Abstract

Institution: University of Pittsburgh
Program: Department of Linguistics
Dissertation Status: Completed
Degree Date: 1989

Author: Abduljawad T. Mahmoud

Dissertation Title:
A Comparative Study of Middle and Inchoative Alternations in Arabic
and English

Linguistic Field: Syntax, Semantics
Subject Language: Arabic, Standard

Dissertation Director 1: Lori S Levin
Dissertation Director 2: Sarah G Thomason
Dissertation Director 3: Richard G Thomason


Dissertation Abstract:
	
This study presents a detailed analysis of the semantic, syntactic and
morphological features of the middle and inchoative (unaccusative)
alternations in Arabic and English. The issue of the middle/
unaccusative contrast and the question of whether middles constitute a
semantically and syntactically uniform class are also addressed. On
the basis of this analysis, a new typology of the middle and
unaccusative verbs in the two languages has been proposed.  In
addition to the semantic properties and the syntactic behavior of
these verbs, this typology is conditioned some contextual and
pragmatic factors.  The following are the main conclusions of this
study: (i) Given the class of the unmarked unaccusatives and the class
of the morphological intransitives, the morphological condition for
the formation of Arabic unaccusatives is neither necessary nor
sufficient.  (ii) Unlike English, Arabic does not have semantic or
syntactic restrictions analogous to those that distinguish the English
middles from unaccusatives.  (iii) The English verbs known in the
literature as middles do not constitute a semantically or
syntactically uniform class. (iv) Despite the fact that Arabic and
English are typologically different and genetically unrelated, the two
languages exhibit significant similarities with respect to the
semantic and syntactic properties of the middle and unaccusative
alternations.

		"A Handbook of Early Middle Arabic" (260 pp.)

			 by Joshua Blau

	In the present "Handbook of Early Middle Arabic",  Professor
Joshua Blau of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the undisputed dean
of  the study of Middle Arabic, presents a reliable and up-to-date
survey, comprehensive yet concise, of the whole field.
	The Handbook contains a grammatical outline of Middle Arabic
structure, annotated examples of the main Middle Arabic varieties and
a glossary of all words occurring in the book.
	An important feature of the book is the variety of texts
presented. These  cover (a)  Muslim, (b)  Christian and  (c) Jewish
Middle  Arabic, each represented by typical or noteworthy examples,
some of them published  here for the first time. Particularly
significant are the  Jewish texts, Rabbanite and Karaite, which have
been
transmitted in  different orthographical modes. Standard Judaeo-Arabic
orthography is represented by samples from Saadia Gaon, Qirqisani  and
David  b.  Abraham al-Fasi. Linguistically more revealing are
Judaeo-Arabic writings in the earlier phonetic orthography; these are
exemplified  in  the  Handbook  by selected texts on papyrus,
by specimens of a translation  of Halakhot Pesuqot and a translation of
the Biblical  book of Proverbs.
	In the Appendix, two examples of vocalized Middle Arabic are
given: one written  in Coptic characters, the other a Judaeo-Arabic
letter from the Cairo Geniza.
	Professor Blau's "Handbook" will  enable all  Arabists to gain
immediate access to the world of Middle Arabic,  guided in their journey
by the leading authority in the field. On the one  hand, scholars
familiar only with the  classical, literary tongue will be able  to see
in what directions the language subsequently developed;  on the other
hand, Arabic dialectologists will be afforded a valuable glimpse into
the history of modern colloquial  forms. The "Handbook..." will thus be
a
valuable tool for all who are concerned with  the history of the Arabic
tongue.

	The price of the volume is  $47.00. Postage and  handling: $2.00
for  the  first  volume;  $1.00  for  each additional volume.
Individual
members  of   the  association "From Jahiliyya to Islam" pay $33 + $2.00
(members' price is valid for direct sales only, not through
booksellers). Cheques payable to the Schloessinger Memorial Foundation
should be sent to the Director of Publications, The Max
Schloessinger Memorial Foundation, Institute of Asian and African

Subject:OS X Jaguar Arabic Support

Greetings, all:

I went ahead and installed MacOS X 10.2 ("Jaguar") and they seem to be
getting closer to decent unicode support, including for Arabic. A few
observations:

1. The terminal window uses UTF-8, but the Aqua applications (e.g.
textedit) need UTF-16.
2. To convert Windows Arabic to Unicode, use this command from the
terminal window:
       %iconv -f cp1256 -t utf-8 [filename]
       then pipe it to another file, or whatever.
3. Lynx can be modified to show UTF-8.
4. "less" can be fooled into showing UTF-8 by telling it the charset is
koi8
5. So far, none of the browsers do a decent job of displaying Arabic
6. For Aqua apps, I think a recompile is needed before we can be
certain that the new-and-improved unicode support is implemented.

More updates as events warrant.

Cheers,

Dan.

I've corresponded with Dan since receiving the above note.  It turns
out that TextEdit can be set (in preferences) for either UTF-8 or
UTF-16.  Both work relatively well, but UTF-8 puts the periods at the
beginning instead of at the end (like html does if you don't declare
the document to be right to left), whereas UTF-16 apparently does not.

Subject:OS X Jaguar Arabic Support:making your own keyboard layout for
Arabic input

One of the nice things about Arabic on a Mac (and in my opinion one of
the annoying things about Arabic on a PC) is that you have always been
able to create your own keyboard layout on the Mac.  I have just found
out how to do this for Jaguar, and thought I would pass it on.  You
simply need a resource (.rsrc) file in the Keyboard Layouts folder in
the main library folder.  You can enter your desired layout in the
format below, paste it into a window in the web site below, and it will
create the resource file and download it to your desktop. Be sure to
give the layout an appropriate name before you create the .rsrc file.
Once the file downloads, you canrename it if you wish (probably with
the same name you gave the layout, but keeping the .rsrc suffix) and
move it to the above mentioned folder.  Then go into international and
choose that keyboard, and it will become one of the choices under the
American Flag for keyboard layouts.  Here is the website:

http://wordherd.com/keyboards/

The layout shows the input key first, followed by a space, and then the
output unicode.  In the following chart, I have listed all the
available 'main' Arabic unicode characters (with a gloss after the ::
so you can tell what letter it is supposed to be.  To make your own,
simply copy the chart below, and replace my input letters with your
own, keeping everything else the same.  You can only list the lower
case characters.  Put S before if you mean the shifted version, O for
the option version, and OS for shift option.  The Arabic codes have no
period or colon (they use the Latin ones) so if you are inputting
either or both of those with themselves, delete those lines from this
list.  They are here only if you want to input them by typing something
other than them (that makes sense doesn't it?)

Subject: Use IE

Hello

Internet Explorer should show Arabic script, but you have to
choose 'View', 'Encoding', 'Arabic'. Otherwise, download Sindbad
from www.sakhr.com which enables you to see Arabic texts on
Mac.

Arabic text in (Adobe page maker) should be saved in text format
first then you can transfer it into a text format that can be read on
Windows. To do that use the Windows platform with the help of a
program which you can download from the page of Knut Vikor at
www.hf.uib.no/smi/ksv/arabhome.html


I hope this will help

Subject: Use IE

On OS X, including Jaguar, IE doesn't have the option of choosing  
"View," "Encoding," "Arabic" or anything like unto it, as far as I can  
tell.  Perhaps the above advice is for System 9 or before.

The sakhr site says they don't support Sindbad anymore, and there are  
no obvious downloads for Mac.  All appear to be for the PC.  So unless  
someone gives me more evidence, I would discount the first paragraph of  
the above advice.

evident in an innovative new user interface.? Then
comes a range of powerful additional features.

palettes and measurement units to resize windows
for easy text export, export selected text only,
and import Arabic text from both Macintosh and
Windows platforms.? Users can also create Farsi,
Jawi, and any other right-to-left language in
Kalimat.? Further, Kalimat comes bundled with 30

Dear Roger,

Thank you for sharing such a sad news. My condolences to you, to the  
family and to the immediate colleagues of George.

His passing is a great loss to us and to the field, and a reminder that  
we are not doing enough to benefit from giants like him in this unique  
generation of his.? Perhaps we could think of a scholarly event in his  
honor.

Salam,

Nimat

Dear Ghada

There is a very interesting and detailed description of Egyptian Arabic
during the Fatimid period. Here is the reference:

`aTiyya Sulaymaan Ahmed. 2000. Al-lahja al-miSriyya al-faaTimiyya:
diraasa tariikhiyya waSfiyya. Cairo: Daar an-nahDa al1arabiyaa.

The book is in Arabic and it is not very available. If you have problems
getting it, please let me know. I might be able to help.

Good Luck

My question is this one: is there a pattern to English of which Arabic  
was the original? Can one detect the style of the originator with  
computational linguistics?
?
Please see my site http://arabia.freehosting.net/decoding.htm. If an
entropy program were run on this English, could one
classify the English as British, American or Arabian?
?
PS. Can one detect the style of Osama bin Laden from
the English translation by linguistic classification?

Subject:New Arab World website

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
September 3, 2002

Contact:  Clara Yu, Director, National Institute for Technology and  
Liberal Education (NITLE), 802-443-5507

The National Institute for Technology and Liberal Education (NITLE) is  
pleased to announce the publication of an extensive on-line curricular  
resource on the Arab world. The Arab Culture and Civilization website  
() was conceived in the days following last September 11, as the  
liberal arts colleges in NITLE?s network struggled to help their  
students and faculty make sense of the tragedy and respond  
constructively to the need to understand the part of the world from  
which it emerged.

NITLE, based in Burlington, Vermont and funded by the Andrew W. Mellon  
Foundation, serves as a catalyst for innovation and collaboration for  
national liberal arts colleges as they seek to make effective use of  
technology to enhance teaching, learning, scholarship, and information  
management.

After September 11, NITLE?s leadership recognized that most of its  
affiliated colleges did not have comprehensive curricular offerings to  
satisfy intense student interest in the Islamic world, Arab culture,  
and the Middle East. In response, NITLE developed a website to answer  
this immediate and compelling need, initially focusing on the Arab  
World.

Over the past year, content editors, web applications developers and  
designers, numerous content consultants, and a host of other  
contributors have assembled a diverse and impressive collection of  
multimedia materials on the Arab World, from history to popular  
culture, and from the origins of Islam to Arab communities in the  
United States.  All of these materials are now available online for  
educational use by the students and faculty of NITLE?s constituent  
schools, and by the public at large, thanks to the generous sponsorship  
of the Mellon Foundation. The materials offered by the site could be  
used as the basis for a new introductory course, to support an existing  
course, or to enable students, faculty, and the general public to  
further their own research or learning goals.

  ?We set out to create a site that is academic in nature, constructive  
and humanistic in tone, and richly contextualized in presentation,?  
said Clara Yu, NITLE?s Director.  ?This has been an ambitious  
undertaking, and the site will remain ?incomplete,? with additions and  
refinements appearing through contributions from our colleagues. In  
short, this is an endeavor that was initiated by NITLE, but will  
continue through the collective efforts of our affiliated colleges.?

Currently, the site includes nearly 50 full-text readings, with an  
equal number in process to be added in the coming weeks. In the History  
module, for example, a chapter entitled ?The Myth of the Middle East  
Madman,? from Stephen Humphreys? Between Memory and Desire: The Middle  
East in a Troubled Age (University of California Press, 1999) helps  
Americans assess recent Middle Eastern history from the perspective of  
some of the key players.

The module on Islam includes ten selections from John Esposito?s  
forthcoming book, What Everyone Needs to Know About Islam (Oxford  
University Press, 2002), and excerpts from Approaching the Qur?an: The  
Early Revelations, by Michael Sells (White Cloud Press, 1999), recently  
the subject of controversy because of its assignment for discussion by  
entering students at the University of North Carolina.

Other modules address the topics of Ethnicity and Identity, Arab  
Americans, Literature and Philosophy, Popular Culture and the  
Performing Arts, Family and Society, Art and Architecture, The Arabic  
Language, and Geography, Demographics, and Resources.

In addition to readings, most modules include recorded interviews with  
experts in the field. The Popular Culture module includes scenes from  
important works of Arab cinema, and many links to sites where Arab  
music can be enjoyed online.

Each module includes an extensive bibliography as well as a set of  
external links to sites that have been evaluated by our editorial staff  
for their usefulness in furthering the objectives of the Arab Culture  
and Civilization site. Coming soon are galleries of images for each  
module.

The content editors for Arab Culture and Civilization, version 1.0,  
were Nabil Abdelfattah of Western Michigan University, Director of the  
Middlebury College School of Arabic, and Michael Toler of Binghamton  
University. Advisors to the project were Patricia Crone of the  
Institute for Advanced Study, and Mahmoud Al-Batal of Emory University.  
Maciej Ceglowski, web applications developer at the Center for  
Educational Technology, Middlebury College, was the principal site  
designer and programmer.  Many other contributors are listed on the  
site?s acknowledgements page

The groundwork for future expansion of the site was already being laid  
this summer, even before version 1.0 was released. In July, a group of  
faculty and one librarian convened by NITLE from liberal arts colleges  
across the United States met at the Center for Educational Technology  
(CET), Middlebury College, Vermont, to develop innovative collaborative  
courses and learning modules for the study of the Islamic world, Arab  
culture, and the Middle East. A wide range of disciplines was  
represented, ranging from religious studies to psychology, art history  
to political science.

The seminar, facilitated by Kenneth Morrell, Professor of Greek and  
Roman Studies at Rhodes College in Memphis, Tennessee, resulted in the  
initiation of several learning modules and two inter-institutional  
courses.

Online learning modules underdevelopment include an introduction to  
Islam; Arab and Muslim architecture; comparative politics of Islamic  
states; an interactive close reading of passages from the Qur?an; an  
introduction to Sufism; theater and performance in Middle Eastern and  
Islamic cultures; adolescent psychology and Moroccan culture; an  
introduction to the Arabic language; Black Muslim women in America; an  
interactive simulation of a day in the life of a Muslim in several  
different contexts; Arab women writers.

The inter-institutional courses planned by the group are ?Children of  
Abraham: Muslim-Jewish Relations,? which explores the rich,  
intertwined, and often tragic collective history of these two groups,  
beginning with the Qur?an and concluding with current events, and  
?Islam in North America, ? which introduces students to one of the  
vibrant, yet little understood, instances of Islamic global culture by  
examining everyday life, history, politics, customs, and current events  
in Islamic communities from Chicago to Toronto.  These courses, planned  
for 2003 and 2004, will bring students and faculty on multiple campuses  
together via the internet.

For more information on the seminar and its participants, see  
http://www.nitle.org/programs_arab_init.php, and the NITLE newsletter

Dear ARABIC-L members,

Yesterday the New York Times ran a good article about the great writer
Naguib Mahfouz... You can access it at:

http://www.nytimes.com/2002/09/16/books/16MAHF.html

Naguib Mahfouz: The Passage of the Century is a recent documentary film
about the only Arab to win the Nobel Prize for Literature:

Author of the acclaimed "Cairo Trilogy," "The Harafish," "Arabian Nights
and Days" and many other novels and collections of short stories, Naguib
Mahfouz weaves the threads of his life together with his view of
society,
his childhood, his discovery of literature (Egyptian and Western), the
city
of Cairo (which he left only three times in his life), Islamic
fundamentalism, the evolution of Egypt, the role of women, and the
future
of civilization.

Dear All,
For the benefit of many on this list, including yours truly, I would
like to post the following question which a colleague recently asked
me. I have already told him about ACTFL's OPI (Oral Proficiency
Interview):
"In the US and/or Europe, are there written (as opposed to the purely
oral OPI) internationally recognized exams for non-native speakers of
Arabic similar to TOEFL for non-native speakers of English? How can an
individual or institution take such an exam?
Also, are there such exams for NATIVE speakers of Arabic as well in the
Arab World or in the West?"

Hi Ken,

I just received this from an Arabic literature listserv I'm on, and
thought you just might happen to have a list of North African
francophone literature you could send to the inquirer as an attachment

Dear Arabic-L,

         Within the last year or year and a half I saw a discussion about
Arabic internet sites, including a very valuable one which included a
search engine of just huge amounts of classical texts (not just
poetry).  Would anyone please refresh my memory...I seem not to have
bookmarked it!

Dear Arabic-L members

The best website ever for classical Arabic texts is
http://www.alwaraq.com/
You will find hundreds of full text books on linguistics, history,
geography, philosophy etc. You can only view them online though.

There is also another bilingual site that is geared mainly towards
Islamic resources and it has a wonderful search engine that allows the
user to conduct research in multiple resources at that same time. It
also has sound files for listening to Quran by different reciters:

Subject:Hypercard, Nisus and other OS X queries

With the advent of OS X, and the subsequent upgrade of institution
machines to that version, many problems are liable to surface.  For
example, it is my understanding that Apple is withdrawing support for
Hypercard(?), and Nisus might not function.  Is this true, and are there
other applications that will not work?
What potential problems lie ahead, and what recommended fixes or
strategies are available?

Subject:Partial resonse to #1

Apple is no longer developing or supporting Hypercard.  Since it is a
'legacy' program, it will currently run only under Classic, and as you
upgrade more and more of your programs to OS X, running things under
Classic becomes more and more annoying.
Nisus claims that it is coming up with an OS X version, so there is
more hope there.
Quark currently also does not have an OS X version, so the Arabic XT
extensions also run only under Classic.  They claim they will
eventually upgrade to OS X, but by that time everyone may have switched
to InDesign.
Revolution is a kind of Hypercard Clone that does run under OS X, and
which they claim will have Unicode support.  People like it a lot for
porting old Hypercard stacks to, and it is cross platform (you can
develop on Mac or PC, and run on Mac or PC if you follow certain
restrictions), but I have not yet been successful in getting it to
display Arabic adequately.
The major problem that I currently see is that although OS X has
unicode support, you still need applications that are programmed to
support Arabic input and right to left display, and contextual
character shaping.  There is no evidence that anyone is 'rushing' to
provide these applications.  I assume we'll eventually have something
decent, but nothing is really decent yet.  You can get Arabic text in
TextEdit for example, but decent is not an appropriate word to describe
the results.
Other responses to Wahid's query are, of course, welcome.
