Dear All,
I have a student preparing her dissertation on traditional Palestinian women clothing, with a special focus on the region of Nablus. She intends to tackle also the issue of accesorizing and embroidery and to embark on a field research.
Could you recommend some specific bibliografy and persons/institutions/websites dealing with this topic? Maybe even some contacts on the spot?
Thank you so much in advance. Please reply to me directly on my yahoo account (ivainov2 at yahoo.com). I shall sum up the suggestions and forward them to the whole group.
Best regards,
Irina

Dear friends and colleague,  

The National Heritage Language Resource Center (NHLRC) at UCLA is conducting a study of heritage language programs at the post-secondary level. This study will yield information on useful practices, valuable resources, and critical needs in heritage language teaching across different languages and institutions of higher learning. 

We are hoping you will help us by completing a very short survey (between 7-10 minutes) about the program you teach in. If you are interested in receiving further information regarding this study or in networking with colleagues who teach the same language as you, please be sure to check "yes" at the end of the survey. Upon completing the survey, we will send you an email acknowledging your participation.

To access the survey go to
 
http://ucla.in/dasQwR
OR
http://apply.international.ucla.edu/public/viewform.aspx?appid=257

If you are unable to give us this information, we would appreciate it if you would forward this message to a colleague who can help. Please, cc us in your email, so that we can contact your colleague, as needed. 

We thank you in advance for your time and effort. Please, contact Afaf Nash at anash at ucla.edu for the Arabic language if you have any questions or need special assistance. 

Sincerely, 

Olga Kagan, Director, NHLRC

Dear Paula,

The semantic classes of verbs that you mention are of auxiliary verbs;  
the article, "Modern Standard Arabic", in the Encyclopedia of Arabic  
Language and Linguistics, edited by K. Versteegh et al., Vol. 3,  
presents a semantic classification of all verbs in terms of  
progressive, existential, volitional, change-of-state and other kinds  
of meaning,

The New Arab Media: Technology, Image and Perception provides a valuable introduction and analysis of some of the most important issues surrounding the new media revolution in the Middle East, in particular examining the two Janus-like faces of the new media in the Middle East: its role in reflecting developments within the region as well as its function in projecting the Arab world outside of the Middle East.
Topics examined within the book include the impact of Al-Jazeera; implementation of the Internet in the region; use of the media for diplomacy and propaganda; image culture; use of the Internet by religious diasporas; From ITHACA PRESS, Specialized in Middle Eastern Studies

Subject: NooJ with Arabic

http://www.nooj4nlp.net/pages/nooj.html

NooJ is both a corpus processing tool and a linguistic development
environment: it allows linguists to formalize several levels of linguistic
phenomena: orthography and spelling, lexicons for simple words, multiword
units and frozen expressions, inflectional, derivational and productive
morphology, local, structural syntax and transformational syntax. For each
of these levels, NooJ provides linguists with one or more formal tools
specifically designed to facilitate the description of each phenomenon, as
well as parsing tools designed to be as computationally efficient as
possible. This approach distinguishes NooJ from most computational
linguistic tools, which provide a single formalism that should describe
everything. As a corpus processing tool, NooJ allows users to apply
sophisticated linguistic queries to large corpora in order to build indices
and concordances, annotate texts automatically, perform statistical
analyses, etc.

NooJ is freely available and linguistic modules can already be downloaded
for Acadian, Arabic, Armenian, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese, Croatian,
French, English, German, Hebrew, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Polish,
Portuguese, Spanish and Turkish.

If you work with or know of a distance learning program for Arabic that
grants college credit, I'd be grateful to hear about it.  If you send the

2nd International Conference on Language Documentation and Conservation: 
Strategies for Moving Forward.
Honolulu, Hawai'i, February 11-13, 2011
http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ICLDC/2011

The 2nd International Conference on Language Documentation and Conservation 
(ICLDC) will be held February 11-13, 2011, at the Hawai'i Imin International 
Conference Center on the University of Hawai'i at Manoa campus. Two days of 
optional technical training workshops will precede the conference (Feb 9-10 -

to visit Hawaiian language revitalization programs in action will immediately 
follow the conference (Feb. 14-15).

The 1st ICLDC, with its theme "Supporting Small Languages Together," 
underscored the need for communities, linguists, and other academics to work in 
close collaboration. The theme of the 2nd ICLDC is "Strategies for Moving 
Forward." We aim to build on the strong momentum created at the 1st ICLDC and 
to discuss research and revitalization approaches yielding rich, accessible 
records which can benefit both the field of language documentation and speech 
communities. We hope you will join us.

Subject: Panwapa (Sesame Street) materials available

Hello,

I work as a content specialist for Sesame Workshop in our department of Global Education.  We have numerous educational kits from a project called Panwapa that are geared towards children ages 4-7 to emobdy concepts like social inclusion, mutual respect and understanding, and global citizenry.  A number of these kits are in Arabic and I would like to know if anyone is interested in receiving some for use as teaching materials in their classroom? Below is a brief blurb about the project, and you can obtain more information from the website: http://www.panwapa.org.

Panwapa, created by the educational experts behind Sesame Street, is a multimedia, global
initiative that is designed to inspire and empower a new generation of children, ages four
to seven, to be responsible global citizens. Research based materials come in a range of media platforms, including online, video, and print. By using the project’s activities, which reinforce
educational objectives, you can guide children in building age-appropriate skills and knowledge. These
building blocks can help prepare kids to contribute to their communities—in ways that will have a positive and lasting impact, both locally and globally. As they learn and grow, children can become motivated, responsible global citizens.  

Please contact me at zainab.kabba at sesame.org if you would like copies of some of the materials.

Thank you.

American Councils for International Education is pleased to announce the 2011 Intensive Summer Language Institutes Program taking place next summer in Alexandria, Egypt and Changchun, China.  The Intensive Summer Language Institutes provide fully funded fellowships for U.S. classroom teachers to spend six weeks overseas studying intermediate and advanced-level Arabic and Mandarin Chinese.  The program targets current K-12 teachers and community college instructors of the target languages, as well as students enrolled in education programs preparing them to teach these languages.  Applicants must be U.S. citizens and non-native speakers of Arabic and Chinese in order to qualify.  This U.S. Government language program is sponsored by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs at the U.S. Department of State and administered by American Councils for International Education: ACTR/ACCELS.
 
Participants in the Intensive Summer Language Institutes receive ten hours of graduate credit through Bryn Mawr College.  Previous program participants have thrived on the Summer Language Institutes’ many opportunities for curriculum building and professional development.  The sites in China (Northeast Normal University) and Egypt (Alexandria University), highly conducive to language learning, provide a myriad of activities to encourage language acquisition through cultural immersion.  In addition to daily intensive language training, participants enjoy cultural activities and excursions designed to reinforce classroom material.  Returned alumni are eligible for additional funding for relevant follow-on activities that promote program goals. 
 
The program application, benefits, and detailed application instructions are located online at http://apps.americancouncils.org/isli2011.  In addition to the online form, applicants are asked to provide official transcripts, two reference letters, and a medical form.  All materials are due on March 4, 2011.  Please feel free to post this information on your websites and listservs.  Due to spam filters, we have purposely not included attachments with this e-mail.  However, we would be happy to separately e-mail our promotional materials and flyers for you to share with your community.  Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have additional questions about the application process.  We look forward to hearing from you soon!
 
Best wishes,

Dear Friends,

In your experience, where will we find the best description -- in English -- of how to pronounce the sounds of Arabic?  All the elementary Arabic textbooks start with a pronunciation guide, but I want your opinion as to which textbook has the best guide.  Thanks very much.

Cheers,

·        A Summer School (18-23 July 2011) at the IGRS, London: classes in Arabic, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish & Editing Skills.
 
To apply for the Taster Event and/or the Summer School, follow the url below. Please observe the deadlines as places are limited to 80, and UK student subsidies limited to 20, at each event.
 
Following completion of any of these courses, you may apply to take an examination and, if successful, be entered on a Database of Academic Translators & Editors [DATE], which will be set up in 2011-12.

Subject: fii al-mudun query

Greetings everyone,

I'm hoping someone might know whether the phrase "fii al-mudun" ("in the cities") is ever used as an idiom for "in all the cities", i.e., in the entire world.

I'm looking at Farabi's kitaab al-milla, and he uses this phrase towards the very end.  I take him to mean merely that each and every city must have its own common religion in order to achieve what he has outlined, not that there must be a common religion in all cities as a unit for this to happen.

Regards,
Shawn Welnak

Arab Academy offers a full roster of high school Arabic courses online

on the guidelines published by Fairfax County, Virginia and are
composed of 4 language levels. They give high school students a sound
grounding in the language that prepares them for higher level courses
at the university level, with themes that are appropriate and
interesting to students of their age.

We offer online Arabic courses to individuals and schools around the
globe. Currently our teachers are delivering the Arabic program for
the Arlington, Virginia school district using a combination of our
interactive online materials and live videoconferencing with students.
For individuals, we offer one-on-one speaking courses with our
teachers using Skype or other online instant messaging software. Last
summer, we were chosen as the Arabic language school in Cairo for 39
American high school exchange students participating in the US State
Department's NSLI-Y study abroad program.

For individuals, we offer a special family discount for multiple
family members (parents or children) who wish to study with us. For
schools, we offer highly competitive pricing based on the number of
students enrolled and discounts for schools that register by the end
of March for the following school year. Please contact us for more

Subject: Arab Novel Award

Libyan novelist Ibrahim al-Koni received in Cairo the Arab Novel Award and dedicated the value of the prize to the children of the Tuareg tribes from which he originally hails.

At the closing ceremony of the fifth round of the Cairo Novel Conference, prominent Libyan author Ibrahim al-Koni was chosen from 23 competitors to receive the Arab Novel Award, whose value is 100,000 Egyptian pounds ($18,000).

“Koni was chosen for his ability to breathe life into the desert on the human, natural, spiritual, and mythological levels,” said Syrian critic Sobhi Hadeedi, who headed the jury. The committee in charge of choosing the winner praised Koni’s ability to utilize folklore, oral tradition, death rituals, and aspects of everyday life in order to create a literary work.

“He creates his own individual anthropology,” added the committee statement.

 The Seven Veils of Seth

Ibrahim al-Koni

Garnet Publishing, 2008

ISBN 9781859642023

Ibrahim al-Koni is a Libyan Tuareg who writes in Arabic. He studied comparative literature at the Gorky Institute in Moscow, and was a journalist in Moscow and Warsaw. He has lived in Switzerland since 1993, and authored over 50 novels, short stories, poems and aphorisms, all inspired by the desert. Some works have been translated into 35 languages, including eight into German and six into French.

Children of Tuareg

Upon receiving the prize from Egyptian Minister of Culture Farouk Hosni, Koni announced that he wants to donate the money to the children of the Tuareg, the tribes that inhabit the desert interior of North Africa and from which he also hails. Koni specified that he wanted the Tuareg children in Niger and Mali to be the beneficiaries of his award. Ibrahim al-Koni, born in 1948 in the desert town of Ghadames in the Fezzan region in southwestern Libya, studied comparative literature at the Russian Maxim Gorky Literature Institute and worked as a journalist in Warsaw and Moscow.

He wrote all his books in Arabic, which he learnt when he was twelve, and his novels were translated into 35 languages.

Koni is the recipient of numerous awards, on top of which is the Swiss State Award for his novel Bleeding of the Stone in 1995, the Libyan State Award for all his work in 1996, and the Japanese Translation Committee Award for his novel Gold Dust in 1997. He also received the French Order for Literature and Arts in 2006 and the Sheikh Zayyed Book Award in 2007.

Saudi author Abdul Rahman Munif received the first Arab Novel Award, given every two years, followed in 2003 by Egyptian author Sonallah Ibrahim, who refused to receive the award from a government that “does not possess the credibility to grant it.” In 2005, the third award went to Sudanese author Tayyeb Saleh and the fourth in 2008 to Egyptian author Edward al-Kharrat.

Dear friends and colleague,  

The National Heritage Language Resource Center (NHLRC) at UCLA is conducting a study of heritage language programs at the post-secondary level. This study will yield information on useful practices, valuable resources, and critical needs in heritage language teaching across different languages and institutions of higher learning. 

We are hoping you will help us by completing a very short survey (between 7-10 minutes) about the program you teach in. If you are interested in receiving further information regarding this study or in networking with colleagues who teach the same language as you, please be sure to check "yes" at the end of the survey. Upon completing the survey, we will send you an email acknowledging your participation.

To access the survey go to
 
http://ucla.in/dasQwR
OR
http://apply.international.ucla.edu/public/viewform.aspx?appid=257

If you are unable to give us this information, we would appreciate it if you would forward this message to a colleague who can help. Please, cc us in your email, so that we can contact your colleague, as needed. 

We thank you in advance for your time and effort. Please, contact Afaf Nash at anash at ucla.edu for the Arabic language if you have any questions or need special assistance. 

Sincerely, 

Olga Kagan, Director, NHLRC

Dear Paula,

The semantic classes of verbs that you mention are of auxiliary verbs;  
the article, "Modern Standard Arabic", in the Encyclopedia of Arabic  
Language and Linguistics, edited by K. Versteegh et al., Vol. 3,  
presents a semantic classification of all verbs in terms of  
progressive, existential, volitional, change-of-state and other kinds  
of meaning,

Ernest McCarus

About the book
The New Arab Media: Technology, Image and Perception provides a valuable introduction and analysis of some of the most important issues surrounding the new media revolution in the Middle East, in particular examining the two Janus-like faces of the new media in the Middle East: its role in reflecting developments within the region as well as its function in projecting the Arab world outside of the Middle East.
Topics examined within the book include the impact of Al-Jazeera; implementation of the Internet in the region; use of the media for diplomacy and propaganda; image culture; use of the Internet by religious diasporas; From ITHACA PRESS, Specialized in Middle Eastern Studies

From: reposted from LINGUIST
Subject: NooJ with Arabic

http://www.nooj4nlp.net/pages/nooj.html

NooJ is both a corpus processing tool and a linguistic development
environment: it allows linguists to formalize several levels of linguistic
phenomena: orthography and spelling, lexicons for simple words, multiword
units and frozen expressions, inflectional, derivational and productive
morphology, local, structural syntax and transformational syntax. For each
of these levels, NooJ provides linguists with one or more formal tools
specifically designed to facilitate the description of each phenomenon, as
well as parsing tools designed to be as computationally efficient as
possible. This approach distinguishes NooJ from most computational
linguistic tools, which provide a single formalism that should describe
everything. As a corpus processing tool, NooJ allows users to apply
sophisticated linguistic queries to large corpora in order to build indices
and concordances, annotate texts automatically, perform statistical
analyses, etc.

NooJ is freely available and linguistic modules can already be downloaded
for Acadian, Arabic, Armenian, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese, Croatian,
French, English, German, Hebrew, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Polish,
Portuguese, Spanish and Turkish.

Dear Colleagues,

The American Association of Teachers of Arabic (AATA) was recently
contacted about distance learning programs for Arabic.

If you work with or know of a distance learning program for Arabic that
grants college credit, I'd be grateful to hear about it.  If you send the
information directly to me, I'd be happy to compile a list and post it to
Arabic-L.

With thanks in advance,

2nd International Conference on Language Documentation and Conservation: 
Strategies for Moving Forward.
Honolulu, Hawai'i, February 11-13, 2011
http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ICLDC/2011

The 2nd International Conference on Language Documentation and Conservation 
(ICLDC) will be held February 11-13, 2011, at the Hawai'i Imin International 
Conference Center on the University of Hawai'i at Manoa campus. Two days of 
optional technical training workshops will precede the conference (Feb 9-10 - 
see details below). An optional Hilo Field Study (on the Big Island of Hawai'i) 
to visit Hawaiian language revitalization programs in action will immediately 
follow the conference (Feb. 14-15).

The 1st ICLDC, with its theme "Supporting Small Languages Together," 
underscored the need for communities, linguists, and other academics to work in 
close collaboration. The theme of the 2nd ICLDC is "Strategies for Moving 
Forward." We aim to build on the strong momentum created at the 1st ICLDC and 
to discuss research and revitalization approaches yielding rich, accessible 
records which can benefit both the field of language documentation and speech 
communities. We hope you will join us.

Subject: Panwapa (Sesame Street) materials available

Hello,

I work as a content specialist for Sesame Workshop in our department of Global Education.  We have numerous educational kits from a project called Panwapa that are geared towards children ages 4-7 to emobdy concepts like social inclusion, mutual respect and understanding, and global citizenry.  A number of these kits are in Arabic and I would like to know if anyone is interested in receiving some for use as teaching materials in their classroom? Below is a brief blurb about the project, and you can obtain more information from the website: http://www.panwapa.org.

Panwapa, created by the educational experts behind Sesame Street, is a multimedia, global
initiative that is designed to inspire and empower a new generation of children, ages four
to seven, to be responsible global citizens. Research based materials come in a range of media platforms, including online, video, and print. By using the project?s activities, which reinforce
educational objectives, you can guide children in building age-appropriate skills and knowledge. These
building blocks can help prepare kids to contribute to their communities?in ways that will have a positive and lasting impact, both locally and globally. As they learn and grow, children can become motivated, responsible global citizens.  

Please contact me at zainab.kabba at sesame.org if you would like copies of some of the materials.

Thank you.

Previous program participants have thrived on the Summer Language Institutes? many opportunities for curriculum building and professional development.  The sites in China (Northeast Normal University) and Egypt (Alexandria University), highly conducive to language learning, provide a myriad of activities to encourage language acquisition through cultural immersion.  In addition to daily intensive language training, participants enjoy cultural activities and excursions designed to reinforce classroom material.  Returned alumni are eligible for additional funding for relevant follow-on activities that promote program goals.

I am looking for fairly current Arabic word frequency lists.  The larger the corpus the better.  I am also wondering if there are frequency lists that look at the three letter roots.  All suggestions warmly welcome!

I am interested in finding out if there are any reputable/bona fide distance-learning Arabic courses for high-school students (or others interested in learning Arabic).  My son is studying Arabic at the intermediate (2nd year) level.

Many thanks,

Dear Friends,

In your experience, where will we find the best description -- in English -- of how to pronounce the sounds of Arabic?  All the elementary Arabic textbooks start with a pronunciation guide, but I want your opinion as to which textbook has the best guide.  Thanks very much.

Cheers,
Abu Sammy

Greetings everyone,

I'm hoping someone might know whether the phrase "fii al-mudun" ("in the cities") is ever used as an idiom for "in all the cities", i.e., in the entire world.

I'm looking at Farabi's kitaab al-milla, and he uses this phrase towards the very end.  I take him to mean merely that each and every city must have its own common religion in order to achieve what he has outlined, not that there must be a common religion in all cities as a unit for this to happen.

A Frequency Dictionary of Arabic should be out very soon:

The Index lists words by root, so it is possible to estimate which roots are the most productive.

Subject: Arab Novel Award

Libyan novelist Ibrahim al-Koni received in Cairo the Arab Novel Award and dedicated the value of the prize to the children of the Tuareg tribes from which he originally hails.

At the closing ceremony of the fifth round of the Cairo Novel Conference, prominent Libyan author Ibrahim al-Koni was chosen from 23 competitors to receive the Arab Novel Award, whose value is 100,000 Egyptian pounds ($18,000).

?Koni was chosen for his ability to breathe life into the desert on the human, natural, spiritual, and mythological levels,? said Syrian critic Sobhi Hadeedi, who headed the jury. The committee in charge of choosing the winner praised Koni?s ability to utilize folklore, oral tradition, death rituals, and aspects of everyday life in order to create a literary work.

?He creates his own individual anthropology,? added the committee statement.

 The Seven Veils of Seth

Ibrahim al-Koni

Garnet Publishing, 2008

ISBN 9781859642023

Ibrahim al-Koni is a Libyan Tuareg who writes in Arabic. He studied comparative literature at the Gorky Institute in Moscow, and was a journalist in Moscow and Warsaw. He has lived in Switzerland since 1993, and authored over 50 novels, short stories, poems and aphorisms, all inspired by the desert. Some works have been translated into 35 languages, including eight into German and six into French.

Children of Tuareg

Upon receiving the prize from Egyptian Minister of Culture Farouk Hosni, Koni announced that he wants to donate the money to the children of the Tuareg, the tribes that inhabit the desert interior of North Africa and from which he also hails. Koni specified that he wanted the Tuareg children in Niger and Mali to be the beneficiaries of his award. Ibrahim al-Koni, born in 1948 in the desert town of Ghadames in the Fezzan region in southwestern Libya, studied comparative literature at the Russian Maxim Gorky Literature Institute and worked as a journalist in Warsaw and Moscow.

He wrote all his books in Arabic, which he learnt when he was twelve, and his novels were translated into 35 languages.

Koni is the recipient of numerous awards, on top of which is the Swiss State Award for his novel Bleeding of the Stone in 1995, the Libyan State Award for all his work in 1996, and the Japanese Translation Committee Award for his novel Gold Dust in 1997. He also received the French Order for Literature and Arts in 2006 and the Sheikh Zayyed Book Award in 2007.

Saudi author Abdul Rahman Munif received the first Arab Novel Award, given every two years, followed in 2003 by Egyptian author Sonallah Ibrahim, who refused to receive the award from a government that ?does not possess the credibility to grant it.? In 2005, the third award went to Sudanese author Tayyeb Saleh and the fourth in 2008 to Egyptian author Edward al-Kharrat.
