Kadix Systems

Position Available: Arabic Language Expert

Project Overview
Kadix Systems is currently developing a five-week Arabic  
survival-training course targeted to the needs of government employees.  
  The curriculum, which will be taught in a classroom, will span five  
days of training a week for a period of five weeks and will include six  
50-minute lessons for each day of training.  Each lesson will be  
complete with training goals, activities and specific materials.  The  
language of the program will be Modern Standard Arabic but will include  
a dialect flavor.  Students will also be introduced to elements of  
Arabic culture.  The program is aimed at the development of overall  
oral proficiency skills, including, but not limited to, basic  
interactive skills, such as using appropriate greetings and courtesy  
phrases, describing and narrating and asking questions to elicit  
personal and biographic information.  In addition, students will also  
be able to recognize danger situations and respond in a suitable  
manner.  Training materials, including instructor and participant  
guides, will also be designed and given to the appropriate personnel.   
There is also a parallel multimedia package that is currently under  
development.  This package will contain the same material and  
objectives but will be used by students when they are away from the  
classroom.

Job Description:
We would like to hire a native speaker of English who has had  
experience in teaching Arabic to nonnatives to assist us in this  
project.  The ideal candidate will at least have a Master’s degree in  
Arabic from an accredited institution.  Curriculum development  
experience is a definite plus.  In addition, the candidate must be  
fluent in at least one Arabic dialect.

This is a full-time position, and salary is based on experience.

ARCE Fellowships
2004-2005

The Fellowship Program

The goal of the Fellowship Program is to promote a fresh and more  
profound knowledge of Egypt and the Near East through scholarly  
research and to aid in the training of American specialists in Middle  
Eastern studies in academic disciplines that require familiarity with  
Egypt.

ARCE Fellowships are given for periods of between 3 and 12 months  
(depending on the source of funding – see below for details).   
TheScholar-in-Residence (carrying a special USIA stipend above and  
beyond the NEH or regular USIA funding) is offered to a senior scholar  
in the humanities (Islamic Studies, Egyptology, Philosophy, History,  
etc.) for a period of up to 12 months.  This is for a post-doctoral  
scholar who wishes to spend up to a year in Cairo carrying out a  
research project and is willing to act in an official capacity as  
“senior scholar in residence.” 

ARCE has available approximately 12 fellowships from the following  
funding sources:

v      The United States Information Agency funds fellowships available  
to pre-doctoral candidates and post-doctoral scholars for a minimum  
stay of three months.  Stipend levels begin at $1530 per month. Please  
note: Egyptologists are eligible for these fellowships, as well as for  
the NEH and Kress Fellowships.

v      The National Endowment for the Humanities makes available  
fellowships for post-doctoral scholars with a minimum stay of four  
months. Stipend levels begin at $1770 per month.  Two short-term (4-6  
weeks) curatorial fellowships for museum professionals are also  
available for three consecutive years.

v      The Samuel H. Kress Foundation funds the Kress Fellowship in  
Egyptian Art and Architecture, an annual prize of  $14,800 plus  
round-trip airfare $2,000) given to a pre-doctoral student.  The funds  
are available to students of any nationality who are enrolled in a  
North American university.

v      The William P. McHugh Memorial Fund provides the McHugh Award, a  
special grant given to a graduate student from any nation to encourage  
the study of Egyptian geoarchaeology and prehistory.  Please contact  
ARCE for more information.

Selection of Fellows

The availability of fellowships is publicized nationally via major web  
search engines, the ARCE website, through universities, research  
directories, and professional bulletins. Candidates must submit  
completed applications, transcripts (for pre-doctoral students only),  
and three (or four, if applicable) letters of recommendation by the  
January 5 deadline.  These should be sent directly to the U.S. ARCE  
office and should be timed to arrive on or before the deadline.

A pdf application is now available on the ARCE website at:  
www.arce.org, where applicants can fill out the necessary forms, print  
them out, attach the proposal, and mail.  Applicants may also contact  
the U.S. Office directly for an information packet and forms:  The  
American Research Center in Egypt, Emory Briarcliff Campus, 1256  
Briarcliff Rd, NE, Atlanta GA 30306.  Tel: (404) 712-9854.

Many members and students have requested the link to the article titled
"Arabicizing Your Computer."  You can access it via the link below.
However, you will need the program, Adobe Acrobat, installed on your
computer to read this PDF file.  If you do not have Adobe Acrobat
installed, you can access the article in HTML format by searching for
it by name on www.google.com. Feel free to link to this article from

For those of you looking for an Arabic QWERTY keybord layout, you can
donload one from http://zsigri.tripod.com/fontboard/index.html  Since
many of you do not type in Arabic everyday, you may find the phonetic
keyboard more useful and much more intuitive.

Finally,

From: Michael Fishbein <fishbein at humnet.ucla.edu>
Subject:mawthabaan

The Arabic dictionaries note that in the language of South Arabia  
(lughat Himyar) the root w-th-b meant "to sit." They quote an anecdote  
about a northern Arab who, when told "thib" by a South Arabian prince,  
cast himself to his death from a cliff. Someone explained that in  
Northern Arabia "thib" meant "jump," not "sit down"; whereupon the  
prince offered an apology for the linguistic confusion: "laysa 'indanaa  
'arabiyyat, man dakhala Zafaari Hammar." (We don't have Arabic; anyone  
who enters Zafar speaks Himyari.)

Cognates in other Semitic languages with similar meaning include Hebrew  
y-sh-b and Akkadian w-sh-b. One might speculate that the semantic  
development from sitting to being a prince or ruler came from the idea  
of enthronement as an attribute of kingship. The Arabic dictionary  
quoted by Lane (I think Mukhtar al-Sahih) explains the term mawthaban  
as meaning a ruler who does not go on military expeditions (i.e., sits  
at home). This seems a bit fanciful. In any case, however, the Arabic  
lexicographic tradition was aware that mawthaban in the sense of prince  
or king was a South Arabian term.

Subject:mawthabaan

Dear Haruko,

considering the Arabic root  w-th-b it really looks very queer at first
sight to have the two meanings "to jump" and "to sit down", because they
have the opposite meaning.
At once it came into my mind, that there is the Hebrew word moshav =
sitting. Regarding other Semitic roots there are possibilities to solve  
the
dilemma. Although I cannot offer textual evidence, I rely on Arabic,
Hebrew, Aramaicdictionaries evidence alone. Perhaps someone else has  
more
information for prove!

The Arabic meaning seems to be deviating from a Gemeinsemitisch (German
expression denoting "common Semitic") root meaning "to sit down". If you
take into account that there was a Lautverschiebung (German expression
denoting "sound shift") between Arabic, Hebrew and Aramaic you will  
find a
possible explanation:
Arabic w-th-b = Hebrew y-sh-b = Aramaic y-t-b

1. Hebrew y-sh-b "to sit down, to dwell"; this includes the opposit
concepts of Nomadic roaming around and the settling of peasants in  
places
where they stay
Hebrew moshab = moshav "seat, meeting = sitting, place to stay = town";  
in
modern Ivrit moshab = "settlement on collective basis"

2. Aramaic y-t-b "to sit" etc.

3. Old South Arabic w-sh-b "to stay, to dwell"

Especially the Old South Arabic is worth considering, because I found in
"Adolf Wahrmund, 'Handwoerterbuch der arabischen und deutschen Sprache',
Giessen 1898, reprint Graz, Austria 1970, vol. 2, p. 1154" a remark
concerning the I basic form of the Arabic root w-th-b = q-´-d  "to sit"
parallel to Himyaritic which is a South Arabic dialect.
But for the II stem you will find in ordinary Arabic diactionaries also  
the
causative meaning "to let some sit down" = aq´adahu.

I hope this will be helpful.

باب ترجمات عملية

يحتوي هذا الباب على ترجمات عملية في مختلف الحقول و التخصصات المعرفية  
سواء كانت قانونية أو مالية أو بنكية أو سياسية أو أدبية أو ثقافية أو  
دينية أو إسلامية أو علمية أو طبية أو تقنية أو اجتماعية أو اقتصادية أو  
عسكرية أو رياضية أو صحفية أو دراسات أو أبحاث أو متفرقات.

  و تمتاز هذه الترجمات:

·        بأنها مترجمة و مراجعة و مدققة من قبل ثلاثة من كبار المترجمين  
العرب على الأقل مما يكسبها متانة لغوية و جودة فائقة.

·        أن النصوص باللغتين في عمودين متقابلين مما يسهل عملية القراءة و  
المقارنة بين النصين بشكل مهني و ثري.

يخاطب هذا الباب:

·        طلاب كليات الترجمة و اللغويات.

·        المترجمين الشباب و جميع المهتمين من القراء و الزوار بشك عام.

·        مراكز و هيئات الترجمة و الجامعات.

·        الشركات و المؤسسات و الأفراد بشكل عام.

و يهدف هذا الباب لتحقيق الأهداف التالية:

·    تعزيز مهارات الطلاب و المترجمين و المهتمين و تطوير قدراتهم و إثراء  
خبراتهم و تنويع اختصاصات و مجالات الترجمة التي يطلعون عليها و  مساعدة    
المترجم على استخراج و حفظ مئات الكلمات و معانيها في سياقها الطبيعي و  
بشكل أسرع ، الشيء الذي تعجز عنه القواميس المنشورة أحيانا من إيراد  
المعنى الدقيق للكلمات و التعابير المستخدمة. فضلا على أنها تساعده في  
التعرف على التركيب المتين للنص المترجم.

·    نقل ترجمات و خبرات عمالقة المترجمين العرب إلى الجيل الجديد من طلاب  
الترجمة و المترجمين الشباب و دوائر الترجمة و  الجامعات مما يحافظ على  
التواصل بين هذين الجيلين و النهوض بالطلاب و المترجمين العرب في كل مكان.

·    الاستفادة من الكم الهائل من الترجمات الثرية و المتقنة التي يحتفظ  
بها كبار المترجمين العرب سواء ورقيا أو إلكترونيا و نقلها عبر بوابة  
الجمعية إلى المهتمين على اختلاف خلفياتهم و اهتماماتهم.

·    . تغطية العجز و النقص  في المناهج التي يتم تدريسها في الكليات و  
الجامعات مما يساهم في تخريج مترجمين أكفياء  لسوق العمل من خلال  رفد  
أساتذة الترجمة العرب بترجمات عملية من كبار المترجمين العرب المنتشرين في  
بلدان العالم المختلفة ليقوموا بتدريسها لطلابهم.

·        استخدام هذا الباب كمرجع هام لطلاب الترجمة و المهتمين عموما.

و هو  سيكون أحد الأبواب الهامة التي ستطرح في أول يناير بمشيئة الله، و  
لن يتحقق هذا العمل الجبار  و النبيل الذي يحتاج للطباعة و التنسيق و  
المراجعة الدقيقة إلا من خلال مساهماتكم و مشاركاتكم و لذا نرجو من كبار  
مترجمين و مترجمات الجمعية الدولية  الذين يحتفظون بترجمات (باللغتين،  
العربية أحد أزواجها اللغوية) متقنة عالية الجودة أن يرسلوها  لنا على  
بريد:

practrans at arabicwata.org

و في النهاية لا يسعنا إلا أن نتقدم بالشكر الجزيل لكل منسبق و   أرسل  
لأسرة  .تحرير هذا الباب من ترجمات عملية أو نموذجية

Practical Translations Section

 

This section consists of practical translations in different  areas  
and  specializations whether be it legal, financial, banking,  
political, literary, cultural, religious, Islamic, scientific, medical,  
technical, social, economic, military, sports, journalistic, studies,  
researches or miscellaneous .

Those practical translations posted at WATA portal are  notable for  
being:

·         Translated, revised and proofread by three senior Arab  
translators at least making them linguistically robust and of great  
quality.

§         The texts (  source& target language) are in two opposite  
columns which make it easy to read and structurally   compare between  
the two texts in a more professional and productive manner.

This section addresses:

§         Students of Translation & Linguistics departments and  
faculties.

Young translators and all concerned readers and visitors  in general.

§         Centers and organizations  of translations and universities.

§         Concerned companies, establishments and individuals in  
general.

This section aims to achieve the following goals:

·                        Promoting the skills of students, translators  
and all concerned members, developing their capabilities and  
performance, enriching their expertise, diversifying the areas of  
specialization to which they are exposed and assisting the translators  
to quickly extract and  memorize countless words and their accurate   
meanings in their professional and natural context, the thing that some  
unupdated  published dictionaries are unable to provide the precise  
meanings of words and phrases used as well as assisting him/her to be  
acquainted  with the solid structure of the translated text.

·                        Conveying the translations and expertise of  
top Arab professional translators onto the new generations of  
translation students and youngertranslators., translation departments   
and universities , Which will maintain continuous interaction and  
communication between these two generations .

·          

·         Benefiting from the staggering quantity of rich and high  
quality translations be it electronic or paper possessed by senior Arab  
translators and posting them on WATA portal to all concerned regardless  
of their backgrounds and interests



·                        Filling the gap caused by the weak curriculums  
taught in translation departments and therefore contributing  in  
graduating  efficient andcompetent  translators through providing Arab  
Translation professors with practical translations, translated and  
offered by top Arab translators based in all over the globe,  so that  
they can teach those texts to their fellow students.

·          

·   Using this section as an important reference to all students,  
translators and visitors.

·          

This section will be an important one and will be posted and published   
with the help of Allah Al mighty on the first of January. This huge  
and  nobletask , which require typing, editing and  proofreading, will  
not be realized unless you provide us with your contributions and

باب بحوث ودراسات

 

يسرّ أسرة تحرير باب "بحوث ودراسات" أن تستقبل مساهمات الكتاب والمثقفين  
والباحثين في مجال الترجمة. وغني عن البيان أن الترجمة جسر بين الثقافات  
المختلفة ووسيلة للتعارف بمعناه الشامل، إذ لا "تعارف" حقيقياً، ثقافياً كان  
أو اجتماعياً أو اقتصادياً أو سياسياً، إلا بالترجمة. لكن هذا التعارف ينبغي  
أن يتم من منطلق "العزة اللغوية"، أخذاً وعطاءً، استيعاباً لمعارف الآخرين  
وإثراءً لثقافاتهم في إطار من التنافس والسعي إلى التفوق.

 

ومن ذلك المنطلق، تحرص أسرة تحرير باب "بحوث ودراسات" على أن تلتزم المواد  
المقدمة بقواعد النشر التالية. وقبل إيراد هذه القواعد، نود تقسيم المواد

جديداً إلى المعرفة.

الملخصات: عبارة عن تلخيص باللغة العربية للكتب ورسائل الماجستير  
والدكتوراه الصادرة بجميع اللغات في مجال اللغة والترجمة التي تضيف جديداً  
إلى المعرفة.

المراجعات: يتناول القائمون بهذا العمل العرض النقدي والتحليلي للكتب  
والبحوث والدراسات والرسائل الجامعية القيمة التي تضيف جديداً إلى المعرفة،  
على أن يتسم العرض ذاته بالإبداع وإضافة الجديد إلى المعرفة.

المتابعات: متابعة المؤتمرات والندوات العلمية المتعلقة باللغة عموماً  
والترجمة خصوصاً.

ورقة عن فقرة "قل و لا تقل" المقترحة على موقع الجمعية

 

في ظل ثورة المعلومات التي يشهدها العالم، يسير سيل الأخبار و المعطيات  
بشكل جارف لا يُلقى فيه بال لمسألة ضبط اللغة التي تتزيا بها هذه  
المعلومات، و غير خاف على الجميع الطفرة الإعلامية التي يعرفها عالمنا  
العربي من قبيل تكاثر الفضائيات و تهافت المنابر الإعلامية على استباق  
الزمن أو مواكبته، و هو ما يجعلها لا تدقق الجانب اللغوي بقدر ما يهمها  
إيراد المعلومة في زمن قياسي. لذا .من واجبنا البحث عن التعابير السليمة  
التي تحترم قواعد اللغة العربية و أوزان الصرف و الاشتقاق و تفادي الحوشي  
أو الدخيل عليها

 

و النكوص عن هذه المهمة سيدفع مجتمع المعرفة في العالم العربي إلى هوة  
أخرى. ففضلا عن الهوة الرقمية التي يعاني منها العالم العربي من خلال عدم  
مواكبة الفتوحات العلمية و التقنية التي .يفاجئنا بها العالم، سنكون أمام  
مصيبة أخرى أشد جللا من الأولى تتمثل في إضاعة أصالة اللغة كما وضع  
الأولون قواعدها

لقد قدمت الصحافة العربية في بداياتها الأولى أسماء أدباء ساهموا  
بمقالاتهم التي تنضح بألق العربية الفصحى و أغنت اللغة العربية بتعابير  
تساير العصر، فكانت الكتابة متعة للخاصة. أما في الوقت الحاضر، فقد  
استسهلت بعض المنابر الكتابة الصحافية، و صار اللحن و توظيف الدخيل من  
مميزات الكتابات الصحافية، و من ثم تحولت الكتابة من متعة للخاصة إلى  
كتابة أو توجيه للعامة. و لا يخفى ما يحمل هذا التحول من تبعات أساءت للغة  
العربية السليمة و ضربتها في مقتل. و لا يعني هذا الكلام تقرير النخبوية  
في الكتابة أي مخاطبة النخبة دون العامة، بل المراد هو تلمس جانب وسطي بين  
هذا و ذاك يقضي بأن نحافظ على صفاء اللغة و نورد ما يستقر في أفهام الناس.

لقد أغنت الترجمة، خلافا لما يروجه البعض، اللغة العربية باستعمالات عديدة  
لكلمات كانت من قبل مقصورة على جانب معين، فصرنا نسمع "المكتب السياسي"  
فضلا عن المكتب المصنوع من الخشب أو خلافه و "خط الطيران" إضافة على الخط  
في الهندسة و "شريط الأحداث" و " الشريط السينمائي" و" تسليط الأضواء"،  
ناهيك عن كلمات أخرى من قبيل "أزمة الثقة" و "أزمة .الضمير" و"حمامة  
السلام" و "القفص الذهبي" و "البرج العاجي"، و هي كلها مصطلحات تؤثث فضاء  
التعبير اليومي

لكن الاستعمال المكثف للغة دون الانتباه للسليم من الكلمات و المعاني  
جعلنا على سبيل المثال نستعمل " تنفس الصعداء" بمعنى الاستراحة و ذهاب  
الضيق و الجهد، و الحال أنها تعني" معاناة الشدة و العسر"، و نستعمل كذلك  
" رضخ للأمر" بمعنى انقاد و سلم له، في حين أن الرضوخ في الأساس هو الكسر  
و القطع. و قد يساير البعض مقولة " خطأ شائع خير من صواب مهجور" على غرار  
قضية الأمانة و نقل المبنى أو المعنى في الترجمة: هل نريدها(أي الترجمة)  
شمطاء أمينة أم فاتنة خائنة؟ و مع احترامنا لاختلاف الأذواق و الميول،  
فإننا نقول إن الابتعاد عن ضوابط اللغة العربية في جميع تجلياتها سيمسخ  
لساننا و سيفضي بنا إلى واد سحيق، و لا يعني التشبث بالقواعد و احترامها  
منعَ اللغة من التجدد و من تمثل المفاهيم الواردة علينا، بل يتعين  أن  
تتلمس عملية توليد اللغة و تطويعها جانب الأوزان و القواعد التي وضعها  
المقعّدون الأوائل.

و مساهمة من الجمعية في الحفاظ على صفاء اللغة العربية و حمايتها من أي  
تداخل لغوي بينها و بين الألسن الأخرى، اقترحنا فقرة " قل و لا تقل" ستعمل  
على إيراد بعض الأخطاء الشائعة التي .تقع في لغة الإعلام و لغتنا اليومية  
ومقابلتها بالتعبير السليم مع تبيان التعليل اللغوي على صحتها استنادا إلى  
المصادر اللغوية و الاستشهاد عليها بأمثلة حتى تحصل الفائدة للقارئ

و في هذا الباب، يفتح باب المساهمات في وجه كل من عاين خطأ شائعا و يرغب  
في تقويمه باتباع المعايير المذكورة. و بالتالي، ستتيح هذه الفقرة تواصلا  
إيجابيا بين زائري موقعنا من خلال الاطلاع على ما يجري على اللسان العربي  
من أخطاء لا نتفطن إليها بالنظر إلى كم المعلومات التي تتدفق دونما انتباه  
إلى سلامتها من الناحية اللغوية.

و لا ندعي الجدة في هذا الموضوع بل ثمة أساتذة نهضوا بهذه الفكرة و أوردوا  
العديد من الأخطاء الشائعة و وضع البعض منها يندرج في باب التذكير. فإذا  
كان المترجم يعتبر ناقلا أمينا للمعاني .في لغته الأم، فإن جانب الأمانة  
العلمية يقتضي أيضا توليد نص ينضح بخصوصيات اللغة الهدف و طرح الرواسب  
المتأتية من اللغة المصدر جانبا

و يمكن لمن يلمس في نفسه القدرة على إغناء هذه الفقرة أن يراسلنا على

Subject:2-letter root response

What you heard probably relates to recent proposals that look into the
idea that although the 3-letter root still functions at the basic
morphology level, that historically there are MANY words of similar
meanings that share two of the three letters, and that originally
(either historically or more deeply embedded in the language mechanism)
the three letter system developed out of a two letter system (of
course, they are usually not referred to as 'letters').
I know that Bohas has made proposals like this, and it seems like I
have heard others do so as well.  Try:

Georges Bohas, Matrices, etymons, racines: elements d'une theorie
lexicologique du vocabulaire arabe (Mirena Mehandjiyska)

Hi,
You said you heard. Can you please explaine in a little more details.
The
Arabic language is based on the 3-letters rout. the imperative is
actually a
three-letter verb but in some cases it would lose one or two letters if
these letters were 'Ill letters. (Alif, wow, yaa). All the Arabic
lexicons
Like Lisan Al Arab and Al Qamoos Al Muheed are written on this base.
Hope
this helps.

Subject:2-letter root response

Arabic is a 3-consonant root language. This applies to content words
whether
they are nouns, verbs, adjectives, or adverbs. Whenever the word shows
only 2
consonants, it's a result of gemination: two consonants of the same
features
merged in one as is the case with imperatives or past tense forms of
some
verbs with certain pronouns. So 'shid' meaning 'pull [2nd person
masculine]
imperative' or 'shad' meaning 'he pulled' are originaaly /shidid/, and
/shadad/, vowels being short in both cases.

Dear gang,

Does anyone in Arabic-L land happen to have machine-readable versions of
medieval Judeo-Arabic (particularly Maimonides, but other are most
welcome?) And is there a standard Unicode representation for the
diacritics used over the Hebrew character set (dots for Daad, taa'
marbuuta, etc.)?

Cheers,

Subject:Arabic Script Messages

Hi,
Thanks for your responses about the Arabic script message.  Exactly 50  
of you responded.  38 received it in a readable fashion, and 12 did  
not.  I honestly could not tell why some were able to receive it and  
others not.  I didn't actually prepare the message, I just copied it  
from the message that was posted by the organization.  My guess is that  
it was UTF-8 encoded, since some people said that they could read it  
when they changed to that encoding.  It is also possible that it was  
either html or rtf encoded as well;  I currently do not know how to  
check that on messages, but I know that the program I use handles both  
formats.
Anyway, since 76% of you, more or less, can now receive readable Arabic  
messages, I will post them.  However, please be aware that about a  
quarter of subscribers will not be able to read them, so if you want to  
communicate with the whole list, you will have to post in English as  
well.
A further thing: posting the message prompted some of you to send me  
Arabic messages, most of which came out jibberish on my system.  I  
don't know why.  But I can only post messages that come to me in  
readable Arabic.  I'm quite sure that if I repost the jibberish, it  
will stay jibberish.  (I've included two messages with jibberish  
included in this set so you can get the idea.)  Your best bet, if you  
want to post Arabic from a PC, is to use a late version of Windows with  
the Arabic resources installed, and using Outlook or another compatible  
program.  If you are on a Mac, I believe you would need to use OS X,  
and probably the later version the better (10.3 is good).
If you want to find out if your system's efforts come out as Arabic on  
my system, you are welcome to send me a short message with Arabic in  
it, and I will respond back whether or not it comes out as Arabic on my  
system.
Dil
PS I decided to type a few lines of Arabic below.  The first one was  
typed directly into my e-mail program, and the rest were typed into an  
Arabic word processor and copied into the mail program.  You don't need  
to respond if the outcome is the same as what you told me before, but  
if it is different from what it was you told me before, I would like to  
know.  In the version I am sending out, the first line shows the  
incorrect punctuation placement of all the mac programs that are not  
specifically Arabized, and the other lines show the correct placement.   
This does not mean that they will come to you that way.
Thanks, Dil

Subject:Teaching through Arabic e-mail query

[Galila sent this in response to getting the Arabic e-mail from the  
list.  Since I don't realy know the answer, I decided to post the  
question.  dil]

I would like to purchase an Arabic program
-- that would allow me to send attachments in Arabic, from my email,  
such as exams,
-- and that on the other hand, the receiver can write on them in  
Arabic, such as answering exam questions.
--I would also use this program to teach Arabic through the web. 
                    
In case this is possible, kindly give me the details.

Thank you and have a very happy season.

Hi,

What does Ightisob then mean? As Arab speakers Ightisob means rape to  
us. Tt could have other meanings but all of those meannings apply to  
taking someone's right by force and illegitimately. And rape is one of  
these actions. It seems that some writers claim that they know  
everything under the sun, and they make general comments which show  
their lack of the basic manners of scholarship.

Abstract:

Stylistic variation is the colourful manifestation of language. It is
an intriguing linguistic phenomenon that can take place at different
levels of language as it has been found in Qur'anic genre. Stylistic
shift can occur within the sentence boundary at both the micro and the
macro levels. In the micro text, stylistic variation occurs at the
morpheme, word, and sentence levels. However, in the macro text,
stylistic change can occur at the macro textual level beyond the
sentence boundary. In other words, stylistically different sentences
are found at different texts far away from each other. Stylistic
variation mirrors language behaviour and the manipulation of the
linguistic tools and strategies available to the text producer.
Stylistic variation in Qur'anic Arabic occurs for a good reason and is
context and co-text sensitive. Context and co-text are the linguistic
habitat for stylistic shift. The surrounding grammatical, semantic,
and phonetic environment has a direct impact upon the linguistic
behaviour of Qur'anic genre. This is due to the fact that the text
unfolds in a given context of situation.  Therefore, the distinctive
stylistic patterns are influenced by the contextual and co-textual
factors. A linguistic-stylistic exploration of sentence patterns
illuminates the reader's appreciation of the grammatical and semantic
subtleties underpinning the distinct meanings of two stylistically
different but structurally identical sentences. A linguistic
investigation of the stylistic patterns of language also unearths the
underlying signification of two stylistically distinct sentences. The
present analysis attempts to provide an insight into the resourceful
stylistic and linguistic strategies of Arabic. The book sharpens up
the reader's awarness of the exotic stylistic patterns that are
semantically-oriented.  These stylistic structures can be realized
through various linguistic processes that are specific to Arabic. The
resourceful mechanism can be a useful linguistic tool to achieve
various communicative functions with different semantic
significations. The present account of Qur'anic genre explores how
grammatical acceptability and semantic syntax are interrelated to
stylistic variation in Arabic. This work provides an in-depth
explicated analysis of stylistic variation in Qur'anic genre.

****************************************************

Due to its morphological, syntactic, phonetic and phonologic
properties, the Arabic language is considered to be one of the
most difficult languages for written and spoken language processing.

Research on written Arabic language processing started in the 1970s,
even before the problems of Arabic text editing were completely solved.
The first studies focused primarily on lexicons and morphology.
In the past ten years, the internationalisation of the WWW and the
proliferation of communication tools in Arabic have led to the
need for a large number of Arabic NLP applications. As a result,
research activity has extended to address more general areas of
Arabic language processing, including syntactic analysis, machine
translation, document indexing, information retrieval, etc.

Research on Arabic speech processing has made significant progress
due to more improved signal processing technologies, and to
recent advances in the knowledge of the prosodic and the
segmental characteristics of Arabic and the acoustic modelling
of Arab schemes. These results should make it possible to
further progress in more innovative areas, such as Arabic
speech recognition and synthesis, speech translation and
automatic identification of a speaker and his/her geographic
origin discrimination, etc.

The aim of the joint session is to gather and reinforce collaboration
between researchers from both the written and spoken Arabic
language processing communities. It will also offer the opportunity
to discuss recent advances on both the scientific and application
sides of the problem, in monolingual and multilingual contexts.

TOPICS

This special session on written and spoken Arabic processing
includes (but is not limited to) the following topics :
- Speech recognition and comprehension,
- Text to speech synthesis,
- Automatic prosody generation,
- Automatic speaker and language identification,
- Geographic origin discrimination of Arabic speakers,
- Arabic corpora & resources,
- Speech acquisition for ASR and TTS systems,
- Morphology,
- Syntax,
- Semantics,
- Text parsing and generation,
- Discourse analysis,
- Text summarization,
- Dialogue,
- Machine translation.

The PBS special "Islam: Empire of Faith" is a wonderful background on  
Islamic civilization.  Perhaps a bit simplified and sugar-coated, but  
very well done and would help build appreciation.  Information can be  
found on the PBS website here:

http://www.pbs.org/empires/islam/

And the DVD can be purchased from PBS here (I imagine it's available  
elsewhere too):

Hi Ahmad:

I'm in the process of updating the coursetool readings on Arab/Islamic  
culture course to be offered winter 2004. I'll be glad to provide a  
list of readings and video titles by January. The Introduction to  
Arab/Islamic Culture course to be offered in winter in our department  
has already attracted 150 students.

We are thinking of offering Beginning Kurdish this coming summer. We  
would appreciate any suggestionsregarding instructional materials and  
instructors.

Assuming that you want something very accessible and not scholarly or

have heard good things about the booklet

A Brief Illustrated Guide to Understanding Islam

Dear Sir

I a m sorry to bother in my question since I have a real problem which
is
that I am using a Macintosh computer with the Nisus program and the
fonts I
am using mostly are GIZA and NADIM but as you know these fonts are
missing
several diacritic signs mentioned below:

- hamzatu l-wasli (waslah)

- A miniature (dagger) alif which is written above the (h) in (haadha)
or
above the shaddah in (allah) or above the (l) in (laakin).

- It should be two alternatives for writing the letter nr. 26 (h) when
it is
written in the middle.

Would you be kind and inform me how to overcome this problems.

Subject:Call for Participation: Training Videos

Dear Colleagues,
As part of the activities of the National Middle East Language Resource
Center (NMELRC), we are preparing training videos demonstrating good
classroom teaching practices. These videos will serve as a valuable  
resource
for all teachers of Arabic and will be accompanied by an explanation of  
some
teaching principles and techniques.
We would like to solicit the cooperation of any teachers of Arabic who  
would
be interested in participating. What we would like is to get video  
footage
from your classes that demonstrate good practices. The footage doesn¹t  
have
to be long. You can choose an activity that you do well in class and  
would
like to share with other colleagues. You need to arrange for someone at  
your
school to videotape you (preferably using a digital camera).
If you would be willing to contribute to this project and share your
teaching skills and expertise, please contact me at  
marthas at u.arizona.edu to
discuss the arrangements. We would like to get the videos by April 1st,
2004.

Peace,
Martha

To whom it may be concerned,

I am a professor of Department of Arabic Studies, Myongji University,  
Seoul, Korea.

I am doing research with my other colleagues on the subject “Islamic  
Family Law, Possibilities of Reform from Women’s Rights Perspective, A  
Study through Changes of the Family Law in Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, and  
Turkey”, sponsored by Korea Research Foundation as two years project.  
Actually, I am a person in charge of this project, and responsible for  
its Egyptian part.

I am planning to do field work in Cairo during January 5th-22nd, 2004.  
Especially, I would like to meet some responsible persons in  
governmental organizations, Women’s organizations, and Women’s Research  
institutes in Egypt to have interviews with them about the family Law  
in the country.

It will be very much appreciated if you kindly recommend me the persons  
whom I could have interviews wiht them.

I am looking forward your kind answer.

Subject:Info on Arab Americans

"100 questions on Arab Americans"

I asked a friend who is studying Arabic if he knew of any references  
for the Teaching Arab/Islamic Culture... query on Arabic-L and he sent  
me the following about Arab Americans, done by the Detroit Free Press  
newspaper. I haven't looked at all of it, but it looks promising:
 
http://www.freep.com/jobspage/arabs.htm
 "It is primarily designed to provide journalists with basic  
information about Arab Americans and guidelines for writing about them.  
But it is a decent primer on Arab culture and Islam in general. It  
appears that free copies can be ordered on the last page of the  
guide."

Hi Galila.  I hope you are well.

If you use Windows, you can do email in Arabic (just as you can in  
English).
You can also send attachments with email.
For these functions, you don't need to purchase any programs.

Concerning "teaching through the web", I need to know what you are  
thinking about to be able to respond.

Subject:Teaching Arabic through e-mail response

Dear Galila,

It is easy to write Arabic on your computer and email attachments.
Your recipient should also be Arabic enabled or using the same
program you are utilizing to produce the Arabic text. As we say,
in Arabic, "you cannot applaud with one hand".

Installing Arabic fonts on the PC may not necessarily enable the
user to write Arabic. I have few suggestions that are commercially
available at the AramediA Website.

1- MS Windows 2000/XP is multilingual and available along with MS
Arabic Word or Office 2000/XP. This is the Arabic version, meaning the
Spellchecker is included also. Since Outlook is part of the above ,
email should not be a problem for neither you nor your students.

2- Get MS Arabic Windows 98 Upgrading the English version and
Arabic Word or Office 2000/XP. All of MS Arabic software is bilingual
(English and Arabic):

http://www.aramedia.com/mshome.htm

3- Universal Word 2000 ML-1 Arabic Languages/English Word Processor.
You may cut and paste Arabic text into MS English Word, or compose
both texts (English and Arabic) on the same page with UW 2000, it is
also UNICODE compliant.

ML1, Arabic Languages: Arabic, Azeri-Arabic, English,
Farsi, Malay-Jawi, Pashto, Urdu, Transliteration, Int'l Phonetic.

UW 2000 will work with your English or any Windows, it does not
require an Arabic Operating System like MS Arabic Windows:

http://www.aramedia.com/uniword.htm
http://aramedia.com/uniform2000.htm

Arabic/English PS-2/AT/USB Keyboard is available.
Arabic/English Keyboard Stickers for either Laptop
or Desktop are available also:

http://www.aramedia.com/keyboard-ar.htm

Please contact me, if you have any questions.

Kadix Systems

Position Available: Arabic Language Expert

Project Overview
Kadix Systems is currently developing a five-week Arabic  
survival-training course targeted to the needs of government employees.  
  The curriculum, which will be taught in a classroom, will span five  
days of training a week for a period of five weeks and will include six  
50-minute lessons for each day of training.  Each lesson will be  
complete with training goals, activities and specific materials.  The  
language of the program will be Modern Standard Arabic but will include  
a dialect flavor.  Students will also be introduced to elements of  
Arabic culture.  The program is aimed at the development of overall  
oral proficiency skills, including, but not limited to, basic  
interactive skills, such as using appropriate greetings and courtesy  
phrases, describing and narrating and asking questions to elicit  
personal and biographic information.  In addition, students will also  
be able to recognize danger situations and respond in a suitable  
manner.  Training materials, including instructor and participant  
guides, will also be designed and given to the appropriate personnel.   
There is also a parallel multimedia package that is currently under  
development.  This package will contain the same material and  
objectives but will be used by students when they are away from the  
classroom.

Job Description:
We would like to hire a native speaker of English who has had  
experience in teaching Arabic to nonnatives to assist us in this  
project.  The ideal candidate will at least have a Master?s degree in  
Arabic from an accredited institution.  Curriculum development  
experience is a definite plus.  In addition, the candidate must be  
fluent in at least one Arabic dialect.

This is a full-time position, and salary is based on experience.

resume to Kristie Konobeck at:

Many members and students have requested the link to the article titled
"Arabicizing Your Computer."  You can access it via the link below.
However, you will need the program, Adobe Acrobat, installed on your
computer to read this PDF file.  If you do not have Adobe Acrobat
installed, you can access the article in HTML format by searching for
it by name on www.google.com. Feel free to link to this article from
your web site, for ease of access.

For those of you looking for an Arabic QWERTY keybord layout, you can
donload one from http://zsigri.tripod.com/fontboard/index.html  Since
many of you do not type in Arabic everyday, you may find the phonetic
keyboard more useful and much more intuitive.

Finally,
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/handson/user/xpintlsupp.mspx  also
offers a nice description (with screen shots) of how to enable

From: Michael Fishbein <fishbein at humnet.ucla.edu>
Subject:mawthabaan

The Arabic dictionaries note that in the language of South Arabia  
(lughat Himyar) the root w-th-b meant "to sit." They quote an anecdote  
about a northern Arab who, when told "thib" by a South Arabian prince,  
cast himself to his death from a cliff. Someone explained that in  
Northern Arabia "thib" meant "jump," not "sit down"; whereupon the  
prince offered an apology for the linguistic confusion: "laysa 'indanaa  
'arabiyyat, man dakhala Zafaari Hammar." (We don't have Arabic; anyone  
who enters Zafar speaks Himyari.)

Cognates in other Semitic languages with similar meaning include Hebrew  
y-sh-b and Akkadian w-sh-b. One might speculate that the semantic  
development from sitting to being a prince or ruler came from the idea  
of enthronement as an attribute of kingship. The Arabic dictionary  
quoted by Lane (I think Mukhtar al-Sahih) explains the term mawthaban  
as meaning a ruler who does not go on military expeditions (i.e., sits  
at home). This seems a bit fanciful. In any case, however, the Arabic  
lexicographic tradition was aware that mawthaban in the sense of prince  
or king was a South Arabian term.

Subject:mawthabaan

Dear Haruko,

considering the Arabic root  w-th-b it really looks very queer at first
sight to have the two meanings "to jump" and "to sit down", because they
have the opposite meaning.
At once it came into my mind, that there is the Hebrew word moshav =
sitting. Regarding other Semitic roots there are possibilities to solve  
the
dilemma. Although I cannot offer textual evidence, I rely on Arabic,
Hebrew, Aramaicdictionaries evidence alone. Perhaps someone else has  
more
information for prove!

The Arabic meaning seems to be deviating from a Gemeinsemitisch (German
expression denoting "common Semitic") root meaning "to sit down". If you
take into account that there was a Lautverschiebung (German expression
denoting "sound shift") between Arabic, Hebrew and Aramaic you will  
find a
possible explanation:
Arabic w-th-b = Hebrew y-sh-b = Aramaic y-t-b

1. Hebrew y-sh-b "to sit down, to dwell"; this includes the opposit
concepts of Nomadic roaming around and the settling of peasants in  
places
where they stay
Hebrew moshab = moshav "seat, meeting = sitting, place to stay = town";  
in
modern Ivrit moshab = "settlement on collective basis"

2. Aramaic y-t-b "to sit" etc.

3. Old South Arabic w-sh-b "to stay, to dwell"

Especially the Old South Arabic is worth considering, because I found in
"Adolf Wahrmund, 'Handwoerterbuch der arabischen und deutschen Sprache',
Giessen 1898, reprint Graz, Austria 1970, vol. 2, p. 1154" a remark
concerning the I basic form of the Arabic root w-th-b = q-?-d  "to sit"
parallel to Himyaritic which is a South Arabic dialect.
But for the II stem you will find in ordinary Arabic diactionaries also  
the
causative meaning "to let some sit down" = aq?adahu.

I hope this will be helpful.

Arabic site in order to explore different dialects. I feel
enthuthiastic
about it ,it will serve to add new words lexis and also help building
new
commnication bridges between Labanese Syrian dialects which are known

Subject:2-letter root response

What you heard probably relates to recent proposals that look into the
idea that although the 3-letter root still functions at the basic
morphology level, that historically there are MANY words of similar
meanings that share two of the three letters, and that originally
(either historically or more deeply embedded in the language mechanism)
the three letter system developed out of a two letter system (of
course, they are usually not referred to as 'letters').
I know that Bohas has made proposals like this, and it seems like I
have heard others do so as well.  Try:

Georges Bohas, Matrices, etymons, racines: elements d'une theorie
lexicologique du vocabulaire arabe (Mirena Mehandjiyska)

Hi,
You said you heard. Can you please explaine in a little more details.
The
Arabic language is based on the 3-letters rout. the imperative is
actually a
three-letter verb but in some cases it would lose one or two letters if
these letters were 'Ill letters. (Alif, wow, yaa). All the Arabic
lexicons
Like Lisan Al Arab and Al Qamoos Al Muheed are written on this base.
Hope
this helps.

Subject:2-letter root response

Arabic is a 3-consonant root language. This applies to content words
whether
they are nouns, verbs, adjectives, or adverbs. Whenever the word shows
only 2
consonants, it's a result of gemination: two consonants of the same
features
merged in one as is the case with imperatives or past tense forms of
some
verbs with certain pronouns. So 'shid' meaning 'pull [2nd person
masculine]
imperative' or 'shad' meaning 'he pulled' are originaaly /shidid/, and
/shadad/, vowels being short in both cases.

Dear gang,

Does anyone in Arabic-L land happen to have machine-readable versions of
medieval Judeo-Arabic (particularly Maimonides, but other are most
welcome?) And is there a standard Unicode representation for the
diacritics used over the Hebrew character set (dots for Daad, taa'
marbuuta, etc.)?

Cheers,

Dan.

Subject:Arabic Script Messages

Hi,
Thanks for your responses about the Arabic script message.  Exactly 50  
of you responded.  38 received it in a readable fashion, and 12 did  
not.  I honestly could not tell why some were able to receive it and  
others not.  I didn't actually prepare the message, I just copied it  
from the message that was posted by the organization.  My guess is that  
it was UTF-8 encoded, since some people said that they could read it  
when they changed to that encoding.  It is also possible that it was  
either html or rtf encoded as well;  I currently do not know how to  
check that on messages, but I know that the program I use handles both  
formats.
Anyway, since 76% of you, more or less, can now receive readable Arabic  
messages, I will post them.  However, please be aware that about a  
quarter of subscribers will not be able to read them, so if you want to  
communicate with the whole list, you will have to post in English as  
well.
A further thing: posting the message prompted some of you to send me  
Arabic messages, most of which came out jibberish on my system.  I  
don't know why.  But I can only post messages that come to me in  
readable Arabic.  I'm quite sure that if I repost the jibberish, it  
will stay jibberish.  (I've included two messages with jibberish  
included in this set so you can get the idea.)  Your best bet, if you  
want to post Arabic from a PC, is to use a late version of Windows with  
the Arabic resources installed, and using Outlook or another compatible  
program.  If you are on a Mac, I believe you would need to use OS X,  
and probably the later version the better (10.3 is good).
If you want to find out if your system's efforts come out as Arabic on  
my system, you are welcome to send me a short message with Arabic in  
it, and I will respond back whether or not it comes out as Arabic on my  
system.
Dil
PS I decided to type a few lines of Arabic below.  The first one was  
typed directly into my e-mail program, and the rest were typed into an  
Arabic word processor and copied into the mail program.  You don't need  
to respond if the outcome is the same as what you told me before, but  
if it is different from what it was you told me before, I would like to  
know.  In the version I am sending out, the first line shows the  
incorrect punctuation placement of all the mac programs that are not  
specifically Arabized, and the other lines show the correct placement.   
This does not mean that they will come to you that way.
Thanks, Dil

taking someone's right by force and illegitimately.?And rape is one of  
these actions.?It seems that?some writers claim that they know

Abstract:

Stylistic variation is the colourful manifestation of language. It is
an intriguing linguistic phenomenon that can take place at different
levels of language as it has been found in Qur'anic genre. Stylistic
shift can occur within the sentence boundary at both the micro and the
macro levels. In the micro text, stylistic variation occurs at the
morpheme, word, and sentence levels. However, in the macro text,
stylistic change can occur at the macro textual level beyond the
sentence boundary. In other words, stylistically different sentences
are found at different texts far away from each other. Stylistic
variation mirrors language behaviour and the manipulation of the
linguistic tools and strategies available to the text producer.
Stylistic variation in Qur'anic Arabic occurs for a good reason and is
context and co-text sensitive. Context and co-text are the linguistic
habitat for stylistic shift. The surrounding grammatical, semantic,
and phonetic environment has a direct impact upon the linguistic
behaviour of Qur'anic genre. This is due to the fact that the text
unfolds in a given context of situation.  Therefore, the distinctive
stylistic patterns are influenced by the contextual and co-textual
factors. A linguistic-stylistic exploration of sentence patterns
illuminates the reader's appreciation of the grammatical and semantic
subtleties underpinning the distinct meanings of two stylistically
different but structurally identical sentences. A linguistic
investigation of the stylistic patterns of language also unearths the
underlying signification of two stylistically distinct sentences. The
present analysis attempts to provide an insight into the resourceful
stylistic and linguistic strategies of Arabic. The book sharpens up
the reader's awarness of the exotic stylistic patterns that are
semantically-oriented.  These stylistic structures can be realized
through various linguistic processes that are specific to Arabic. The
resourceful mechanism can be a useful linguistic tool to achieve
various communicative functions with different semantic
significations. The present account of Qur'anic genre explores how
grammatical acceptability and semantic syntax are interrelated to
stylistic variation in Arabic. This work provides an in-depth
explicated analysis of stylistic variation in Qur'anic genre.

****************************************************

Due to its morphological, syntactic, phonetic and phonologic
properties, the Arabic language is considered to be one of the
most difficult languages for written and spoken language processing.

Research on written Arabic language processing started in the 1970s,
even before the problems of Arabic text editing were completely solved.
The first studies focused primarily on lexicons and morphology.
In the past ten years, the internationalisation of the WWW and the
proliferation of communication tools in Arabic have led to the
need for a large number of Arabic NLP applications. As a result,
research activity has extended to address more general areas of
Arabic language processing, including syntactic analysis, machine
translation, document indexing, information retrieval, etc.

Research on Arabic speech processing has made significant progress
due to more improved signal processing technologies, and to
recent advances in the knowledge of the prosodic and the
segmental characteristics of Arabic and the acoustic modelling
of Arab schemes. These results should make it possible to
further progress in more innovative areas, such as Arabic
speech recognition and synthesis, speech translation and
automatic identification of a speaker and his/her geographic
origin discrimination, etc.

The aim of the joint session is to gather and reinforce collaboration
between researchers from both the written and spoken Arabic
language processing communities. It will also offer the opportunity
to discuss recent advances on both the scientific and application
sides of the problem, in monolingual and multilingual contexts.

TOPICS

This special session on written and spoken Arabic processing
includes (but is not limited to) the following topics :
- Speech recognition and comprehension,
- Text to speech synthesis,
- Automatic prosody generation,
- Automatic speaker and language identification,
- Geographic origin discrimination of Arabic speakers,
- Arabic corpora & resources,
- Speech acquisition for ASR and TTS systems,
- Morphology,
- Syntax,
- Semantics,
- Text parsing and generation,
- Discourse analysis,
- Text summarization,
- Dialogue,
- Machine translation.

The PBS special "Islam: Empire of Faith" is a wonderful background on  
Islamic civilization.? Perhaps a bit simplified and sugar-coated, but  
very well done and would help build appreciation.? Information can be  
found on the PBS website here:

http://www.pbs.org/empires/islam/

And the DVD can be purchased from PBS here (I imagine it's available  
elsewhere too):

Hi Ahmad:

I'm in the process of updating the coursetool readings on Arab/Islamic  
culture course to be offered winter 2004. I'll be glad to provide a  
list of readings and video titles by January. The Introduction to  
Arab/Islamic Culture course to be offered in winter in our department  
has already attracted 150 students.

We are thinking of offering Beginning Kurdish this coming summer. We  
would appreciate any suggestionsregarding instructional materials and

Subject:Getting wasla and dagger on MAC

Dear Sir

I a m sorry to bother in my question since I have a real problem which
is
that I am using a Macintosh computer with the Nisus program and the
fonts I
am using mostly are GIZA and NADIM but as you know these fonts are
missing
several diacritic signs mentioned below:

- hamzatu l-wasli (waslah)

- A miniature (dagger) alif which is written above the (h) in (haadha)
or
above the shaddah in (allah) or above the (l) in (laakin).

- It should be two alternatives for writing the letter nr. 26 (h) when
it is
written in the middle.

Would you be kind and inform me how to overcome this problems.

Sincerely

Subject:Call for Participation: Training Videos

Dear Colleagues,
As part of the activities of the National Middle East Language Resource
Center (NMELRC), we are preparing training videos demonstrating good
classroom teaching practices. These videos will serve as a valuable  
resource
for all teachers of Arabic and will be accompanied by an explanation of  
some
teaching principles and techniques.
We would like to solicit the cooperation of any teachers of Arabic who  
would
be interested in participating. What we would like is to get video  
footage
from your classes that demonstrate good practices. The footage doesn?t  
have
to be long. You can choose an activity that you do well in class and  
would
like to share with other colleagues. You need to arrange for someone at  
your
school to videotape you (preferably using a digital camera).
If you would be willing to contribute to this project and share your
teaching skills and expertise, please contact me at  
marthas at u.arizona.edu to
discuss the arrangements. We would like to get the videos by April 1st,
2004.

Peace,
Martha

Subject:Info on Arab Americans

"100 questions on Arab Americans"

I asked a friend who is studying Arabic if he knew of any references  
for the Teaching Arab/Islamic Culture... query on Arabic-L and he sent  
me the following about Arab Americans, done by the Detroit Free Press  
newspaper. I haven't looked at all of it, but it looks promising:
?
http://www.freep.com/jobspage/arabs.htm
?"It is primarily designed to provide journalists with basic  
information about Arab Americans and guidelines for writing about them.  
But it is a decent primer on Arab culture and Islam in general. It  
appears that free copies can be ordered on the last page of the  
guide."?

Dear Sabah:

Here's what you're looking for:

_maa talHanu fiihi al-`aammah_

Author: Abuu al-Hasan `Ali ibn Hamzah al-Kisaa'ii
Editor: Ramadaan `Abd al-Tawwaab
Cairo: Maktabat al-Khaanjii, 1982
or
al-Riyaad : Daar al-Rifaa`ii, 1982.

I have also touched on the topic in an an online article
publised in _JALT_ htttp://www.jalt.net

I can provide you other sources off the list if you want.

I hope this helps.

Hi Galila.  I hope you are well.

If you use Windows, you can do email in Arabic (just as you can in  
English).
You can also send attachments with email.
For these functions, you don't need to purchase any programs.

Concerning "teaching through the web", I need to know what you are  
thinking about to be able to respond.

Waheed

Dear Galila,

It is easy to write Arabic on your computer and email attachments.
Your recipient should also be Arabic enabled or using the same
program you are utilizing to produce the Arabic text. As we say,
in Arabic, "you cannot applaud with one hand".

Installing Arabic fonts on the PC may not necessarily enable the
user to write Arabic. I have few suggestions that are commercially
available at the AramediA Website.

1- MS Windows 2000/XP is multilingual and available along with MS
Arabic Word or Office 2000/XP. This is the Arabic version, meaning the
Spellchecker is included also. Since Outlook is part of the above ,
email should not be a problem for neither you nor your students.

2- Get MS Arabic Windows 98 Upgrading the English version and
Arabic Word or Office 2000/XP. All of MS Arabic software is bilingual
(English and Arabic):

http://www.aramedia.com/mshome.htm

3- Universal Word 2000 ML-1 Arabic Languages/English Word Processor.
You may cut and paste Arabic text into MS English Word, or compose
both texts (English and Arabic) on the same page with UW 2000, it is
also UNICODE compliant.

ML1, Arabic Languages: Arabic, Azeri-Arabic, English,
Farsi, Malay-Jawi, Pashto, Urdu, Transliteration, Int'l Phonetic.

UW 2000 will work with your English or any Windows, it does not
require an Arabic Operating System like MS Arabic Windows:

http://www.aramedia.com/uniword.htm
http://aramedia.com/uniform2000.htm

Arabic/English PS-2/AT/USB Keyboard is available.
Arabic/English Keyboard Stickers for either Laptop
or Desktop are available also:

http://www.aramedia.com/keyboard-ar.htm
http://aramedia.com/stickers.htm

Please contact me, if you have any questions.

Best Regards,
