Subject:the root of a hollow verb

Hi Sana,

If you change the verb into the present, you'll get the root, which does not
have alif.
For example:
qaala - yaqoolu ... so the root is q - w - l
sarra - yasiiru ... so the root is s - y - r

For a verb like naama - yanaamu   ... I think of the common *masdar *(nawm)
so the root is n - w - m

Try the verbs for : sell, fly, become or fast.  See how it works?

Hope that helps :)

Best,

Subject:the root of a hollow verb

The alif in alfi3l elmu3tall alwasat namely the hallow verb is not part of the root and in this case we have to find the consonant behind the alif whether it is a waw or yaa. Thus in the case of kana by looking at the present tense and the masdar (verbal noun) we find that the waw is the middle missing consonant so the root would be Kaf waw nun and the same applies to qama and jala. However sara and adara the missing consonant behind the alif is the yaa.

Hi Sana,

In response to your question, hollow verbs have an alif as their middle letter in the basic form, i.e. the third person singular (naama, kaana, maala, zaada). The ROOT/jidhr however never has an alif in the middle, but either waw or yaa (in the case of the verbs mentioned above: n-w-m, k-w-n, m-y-l, z-y-d) which is how the words are found/sorted in the dictionary.

Hope that helps,

Subject:the root of a hollow verb

Hi Sana,
The alif stands in for the 'ayn al-fi'l (the middle radical) which is either a waw or a yaa; thus the verb "zada" is analyzed as having the root za'- yaa- dal (in the first form you can tell what the middle radical is from the mudari' ("future/present) --> yazidu, or qala --> yaqulu (qaa- waw - lam).

Hi ,
as far as I know the root of these 2 verbs that you mentioned do not contain Alif in its roots :
قال - ---  ق  و  ل
نام  ----- ن   و   م 
زار  -------   ز   و   ر  
 
you can have just a hamza in the root like the verb : to start بدأ where the root is ب   د   ء  May be you mix the alif with the hamza ?  
hope this help ,

Subject:the root of a hollow verb

Dear Sana,
Hollow verbs ALWAYS have alif in the middle عين الفعل:
form I : قال - باع - نام
form IV : أقام
form VII : انحاز
form X : استقام
This is the spelling. The root is something else. You may say that the "substructure" of alif is either ياء or واو. You can find the root of قال by looking at the present tense يقول, which has واو. Therefore, the root is ق و ل . The root of باع يبيع is  ب ي ع. If you look at the present of نام it is ينام, which has alif (alif is never part of the root). Then you go to المصدر , which is النوم . Therefore, the root is ن و م
Alif is never part of the root because it is ALWAYS a vowel, whereas واو and ياء can be vowels or consonants.
Please note that the hamza ء is a different letter/ sound.

From:<mcredi at cloud9.net>
Subject:the root of a hollow verb

A root always consists of three consonants, or radicals. In the case of the hollow verbs, the second radical is a weak consonant, that is, either a waaw or a yaa?. The root of kaana is kwn, the underlying form being kawana; the root of naama is nwm, the underlying form being nawima; the root of qaala is qwl, the underlying form being qawala; and the root of zaada is zyd, the underlying form being zayada.
 
What happens is that, according to a phonetic rule, the weak consonant between two vowels is deleted and the two short vowels in contact become one long vowel. This is how we get kaana, naama, qaala and zaada.

Subject:the root of a hollow verb

dear sana,
alif cannot ever be part of a root in arabic. it is possible for a hamza to be part of a root- so for example أدب would have a root of ء - د - ب but with with hollow verbs you usually have to know what the verb is in the present tense or the verbal noun is to know what it's root is. so for the verb نام you have to know that its verbal noun is النوم and from there you would get its root ن - و - م.  also, sometimes with nouns, you have to figure out what the root is by knowing the word in the plural form. so for example خال has a plural of أخوال and the root comes from that- خ و ل. i hope that helps.

If I understand you correctly, I can think of some expressions that take more than literary translation to convey the concept. Here are some of those expressions:  

إن شالله العدو   this is an expression used one person to another when something harmful befalls the other in a way of sowing sympathy. 

   سعيكم مشكور common expression uttered by a recipient of condolences to the one who is extending the condolences. the answer is وذنبكم مغفور 

 يدوم عزك Usually this is a response to "سفرة دايمة" which is a common expression said at the end of having a mail as a guest to the hosts     

 بالهنا والشفا Said after a guest or a person has finished eating or drinking. The response الله يهنيك/ي

تسلم إيدك /إبديكي said to someone after doing a good job, not necessarily using his/her hands. 

البقية فـــ حياتك  This is an interesting expression that was not clear to me for sometime until I heard the equivalent of it in Syrian context يعطيك عمره. It is said when someone has experienced a loss of a dear person to death. It literary means "the rest may go to your life" but the Syrian version   sheds light on the meaning of البقية فـــ حياتك which, probably  would mean "may what is remaining of the deceased life be added to yours".   

  نعيما This is a very famous expression used when someone gets hair cut or when gets out of the shower/bath. the response أنعم الله عليك  

هنيئا said to someone after he/she had immediately finished a drink (of water normally)

Hello Mai,
 
Two examples I can think of are the words عِشرة and فداك.
 
I didn't know what to tell an American friend when she broke my mug :) Saying "don't worry about it" is not the same as the Arabic "may this mug be a replacement for any harm that could have happened to you"!!
 
The same goes for عشرة as in the one between old friends, husband and wife, neighbors, etc. It means those people have shared a lot but it's really more than that, no?
I hope that helps,

رقبتي سداده        - Egyptians use it to express willingness to rescue their lives for help , I wrote about it , I think it is one of the Arabic concepts that is non-lexicalised in English   , the funny thing is when you try to convey the meaning in Arabic without having to resort to the mediator Language , I get asked often , why رقبتي   and not any other part of the body? good question.   warm regards.

Mai,

One concept that comes to mind is actually  "مبروك" when used to congratulate someone on a purchase, and not an achievement (i.e. the meaning where "عقبالك" would be an inappropriate response).

Another is "نيالك"  meaning "I wish i have what you had, or what happens to you happens to me too", which does necessarily not have the negative connotation of envy. Not sure if this is considered MSA.

Alex,

I got in touch with CMESR the other week, and it seems they are a sort of coordinating institution. They have not quoted me a price yet, but are looking at arranging a tutor for literary arabic and a class for spoken arabic at the university of Damascus. They also apparently help finding housing etc, and would likely take a fee for all that. 

Not sure what their pricing is like, and whether or not it would be better just to do all the leg-work independently, but since they are pretty fast on e-mail, you can just ask them i think!

The Arabic and Islamic Studies Department has 7 full time members of staff.  Each teacher is expected to teach both Arabic and Islamic Studies to a variety of grades from 7 to 13.

Dear Language instructors
 
We hope to see many of you at this year's Western Consortium workshop, as presenters or participants.
We are delighted that the workshop facilitator this year is Dr. John Eisele whom you all know.  I'm sure some of you have already seen the call for abstracts, but in case you have not, the invitation appears below.
 
 
Call for Abstracts
“Language Beyond the Classroom:
Developing & Maintaining Advanced Proficiency”
University of Arizona
Tucson, AZ
April 16-18, 2010
 
The 2010 Western Consortium Middle East Language Workshop is a 2-day event hosted
this year by the University of Arizona’s Center for Middle Eastern Studies (CMES). The
2010 Workshop will explore "bridging activities" that link formal classroom learning to
non-formal, student-centered learning especially for developing and maintaining
advanced proficiency in Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, and Turkish. These activities could
include use of films or broadcast media, technology, games, or study abroad.
The workshop facilitator is Dr. John Eisele, Associate Professor of Arabic in the
Department of Modern Languages and Literatures at the College of William and Mary.
Using the case of Arabic diglossia, Dr. Eisele will conduct a two-hour interactive session
on the pedagogy of teaching formal (textbook) vs. informal (street) language.
The workshop program will include hands-on/interactive sessions, panels, and individual
talks. CMES invites abstracts from language instructors for these sessions.
Abstracts should not exceed 300 words and must be accompanied by the registration
form (available for download on the workshop website).
The deadline for submissions is March 8, 2010. Notification of acceptance or rejection
will be sent by March 17, 2010.
We look forward to seeing you in Tucson!

Location: Valletta, Malta 
Contact: Alexandra Vella 
Contact Email: alexandra.vella at um.edu.mt

Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics; Morphology; Phonology; Sociolinguistics 

Subject Language(s): Maltese (mlt)

Meeting Description: 

The Institute of Linguistics in collaboration with the Department of Maltese of the University of Malta is pleased to announce a call for participation in the International Programme in Maltese Linguistics to be held in Malta from 22-31 March 2010. The programme was offered for the first time in the summer of 2009, and, like the Summer School in Maltese Linguistics that ran in June 2009, it is being organised through the Foundation for International Studies ltd at the Old University in Valletta.  The programme comprises lectures and seminars, as well as a number of visits to historical sites, some with linguistic interest, around Malta and Gozo. It will provide participants with a unique opportunity to become acquainted with different aspects of the linguistic structure of Maltese. It is aimed primarily at linguists and students of linguistics but should also appeal to practitioners working with Maltese, such as translators and language teachers, particularly teachers of Maltese to adults/foreigners. A parallel course in Maltese involving input from lecturers of the University of Malta's Skola tal-Malti will also be offered if enough interest is expressed.

Comments from June 2009 participants:

'As an Arabist and a historical linguist, I found the programme extremely interesting, stimulating and beneficial. I think it would be useful to students and researchers in Arabic dialectology, historical linguistics, contact linguistics, varieties of English and linguistic typology.' --C.L., Cambridge.

'It was an excellent experience. The very thorough programme on Maltese Linguistics is suitable even for students who only have limited knowledge about Maltese. For me as a student who has been dealing with Maltese for some time, this programme was the ideal place not only to revise and deepen my knowledge of the language structure but also to get an update on current issues in Maltese linguistics.' --J.J., Osnabrück. 

Call for Participation:

Reminder - Registrations are now being accepted. We recommend that potential participants get in touch asap as their doing this would contribute to smoothening the preparation process all round. Thank you.

Topics to be discussed will include:

-The segmental phonetics and phonology of Maltese
-Maltese prosody
-The historical phonology and morphology of Maltese
-Word formation processes in Maltese: derivation, inflection, compounding
-Verbless sentences
-Topicalisation
-Tense and aspect in Maltese
-Reflections on aspects of Maltese vocabulary
-Maltese and other languages: A linguistic history of Malta
-Language use in the Maltese context
-Computer technologies and Maltese
-Maltese in the media
-Language planning in the Maltese context
-Literature in Maltese
-Maltese in the EU context
-Maltese Sign Language

The program need not be in the US, but I would like to know about any US programs if you know of any. Thanks!

Also, the verb samma' سمّع 
We have a verb "to show" for warra yiwarri (ورى يوري) yet if I have some music or something else I want you to listen to, I will asamma'ak. We might say, "to play (the music) for you," or to "let you listen" or "have you listen," but none of these are quite as broad or as concise as samma'.

This was also a common idiom in the Persian of Iran, a circumlocution designed to lessen 
the shock or morbidity of someone's passing, by representing it as a lengthening of
the life of the person to whom the news is being reported (second person formal is
more typical, I think).  As such, there is probably no reason to use anything but a
second-person pronoun there.

Subject:Arabic demonstrative queries

Hi everyone,

First, I want to thank you all for the very nice examples of non-lexicalised concepts. You have been a great help.

Now my first question here appeals to historical and morphological concerns. It is well known that, in terms of etymology, the definite article "the" and the demonstratives "this/that" share the demonstrative morpheme th- whose roots can be traced back to Old English. Now, has there been any mention of a possible parallelism between this demonstrative morpheme th- and the Arabic demonstrative ذا? I mean, at least, is the phonological similarity a matter of coincidence or there is a story behind it? 

Secondly, in Cantarino (1975: 30)* he states that: "all Arabic forms of the demonstrative pronouns were originally elements of interjectional character, which, after the fading of this effect, have become particles of demonstrative determination". Can anyone please expand on this idea, has it been mentioned in any other reference? Does anyone have examples for this 'interjectional use'? 

Here is another question: does anyone have any thought on why Arabic, compared to English, uses more demonstratives in written texts? For example, in a corpus of 20,000 words of English there will be say 100 instances of demonstratives, while in a same-size corpus of Arabic, there will be 200 cases if not more. That can't be just due to the fact that Arabic has more lexical forms for the demonstratives, right?

Thank you.

Linguistic Borrowing into Coptic 

Date: 26-Apr-2010 - 28-Apr-2010 
Location: Leipzig, Germany 
Contact: Sebastian Richter 
Contact Email: borrowing.into.coptic at uni-leipzig.de 
Meeting URL: http://www.uni-leipzig.de/~egyptol/ 

Linguistic Field(s): Historical Linguistics; Sociolinguistics 

Subject Language(s): Coptic (cop)

Meeting Description: 

Despite the prominence of loanwords in Coptic texts, basic lexicographical tools are sadly lacking. As a result, the empirical data on which broader research on bilingualism in Late Antique and Early Islamic Egypt has been based is but partial and, at times, unrepresentative. Moreover, the field of contact linguistics has made remarkable advances in recent years, which are only sporadically represented in research on linguistic borrowing into Coptic. The first international conference on Linguistic Borrowing into Coptic is intended to bring together Copticists and general linguists, especially experts on contact linguistics and typologists. The goal of this meeting is twofold: on one hand, to make linguists aware of a case of extensive and well-attested lexical borrowing in a situation of stable bilingualism, and on the other, to make Copticists aware of current empirical and theoretical research in language contact and borrowing. A further aim is to encourage open discussion about the practical and methodological aspects of developing a database and dictionary of Greek loanwords in Coptic.

> Hi Mike,
> I read your message on the arabic linguist list. Assuming the blogger did not mean to call himself "the translator", my guess is he's playing with the roots r-j-m in pattern V, tafa''al, yielding an Extensive, Reflexive passive participle. "The one who has been stoned by himself". MacDonald wrote an article about the Extensive patterns II and III and their reflexive counterparts V and VI. I'd be interested to hear other thoughts.

Hi Elijah,
     My guess would be that he intends "he who tries to tell the future",  like  /al-mutanabbi'/  =
"he who would be a prophet"  based on Form II "telling future tales".  The pun probably rests
on  /mutarjim/  =  "translator".  I can personally attest, as one who has been stoned by myself,
that decoding Arabic is a much more rewarding trip.
 
   Best wishes,
Mike Schub

I am not quite sure whether the asker means the meaning of the term "mutarjim" or the site.
the word mutarjim means in simple words someone who can convey the spoken or the written word of one language into another. So an interpreter is a mutarjim and a translator is a mutarjim too.
 
I hope that I did understand the question correctly.

Subject:Effective Programs for Arabic Heritage Learners

Effective language programs for (Arabic Heritage Learners) AHL

In the previous post "Is it time our children heard about “Sirat Banu Hilal ," I raised  the question to educationalists , language planners/parents of   Arabic Heritage Children (AHL)  about how to begin Arabic Heritage  teaching, i.e. the use of  our heritage components in classes  versus AFL corpus. There is a general recognition that the needs of heritage learners are different from L2 learners, I suggest there could be a necessity for a growing body of literature that identifies those needs. What distinguishes heritage language and foreign language acquisition is that heritage language acquisition begins at home, as opposed to foreign language acquisition which, is usually begun in classrooms. The model for instruction proposes that the curriculum should be organized so that students initially draw on their knowledge of the spoken language. The norms of various written genres are introduced gradually, progressing from less to more formal and more complex discourse typ!
 e, with an emphasis on text cohesion.

Due to the  lack of pedagogical literature proposing effective teaching strategies for heritage language populations, especially strategies that could apply cross-linguistically. Linguists are invited to attempt to wed practice to theory, proposing a pedagogical approach to heritage language literacy that is based on insights into bilingualism and intergenerational language shift.

Other consideration, therefore, related to the development and implementation of Heritage Language programs include: curriculum development is an important component of an AHL language program. There is an urgent need for more planning; Effective language programs require honest assessment and evaluation to ensure that both the short and long term objectives are being met. A broad range of people should be involved in that evaluation, not only the people who set up the programs. AHL history,  as a resource and material for use in language instruction, thus ,we could create a bridge between AHL learners and their history in order to create a compromise for some subjects.

Greetings.

The most-apparent path in US institutions to a doctorate with specialty in Arabic dialectology is a PhD program in linguistics and then focus on Arabic dialectology, including, for example, studies in diglossia, code switching, Arabization of foreign concepts and related terms, foreign loanwords in Arabic, or the emergence of regional Arabic creoles (as in the coastal cities of the Arabian Gulf region and Yemen, where I did most of my research in dialectology).

Some likely institutions:

1. Georgetown U

2. UCLA

3. U of Texas at Austin

4. UNC Chapel Hill

Hope this helps. 

Khair, in shaa' Allah.

Welcome to the Summer Arabic & Persian Language Institute 
at Georgetown University!

http://summerschool.georgetown.edu/index.cfm

2010 SUMMER SESSION DATES
PRE SESSION: MAY 24 - JUNE 18
1ST SESSION: JUNE 7 - JULY 9
2ND SESSION: JULY 12 - AUGUST 13

The Language Institute offers students the opportunity to acquire or master skills in reading, writing, listening, and speaking in Arabic and Persian. Language instruction is proficiency-oriented and imparts cultural experiences and knowledge. The materials used are broad-based and help students develop skills for communication. Students learn how to accomplish language tasks in formal and informal situations. Assessments reflect the model of an educated native speaker as well as proficiency (American Council for the Teaching of Foreign Language: ACTFL) guidelines.

Classes are small and students benefit from individual attention inside and outside the classroom. Experienced, dedicated, and diverse faculty use current techniques and incorporate technology-based instruction. The summer program provides real-time and on demand access to current media resources and the latest in classroom language learning technology. The Language Institute offers its students a gateway to an exceptional academic community at Georgetown University, a range of summer activities in the Summer School, and state-of-the-art language opportunities.

Arabic: A comprehensive undergraduate program of intensive and non-intensive learning in Modern Standard Arabic will last ten weeks, with courses in basic, intermediate advanced as well as media Arabic. In the Pre-session, Teaching Arabic as a Foreign Language will be offered which is open to both graduate and undergraduate students. 

Content Arabic: Advanced Arabic language courses for advanced high learners are taught entirely in Arabic.. They offer undergraduate and graduate students essential subject matter learning (linguistic, cultural and political) while building their language proficiency. Courses include Arab Politics in the Middle East.

Colloquial Arabic: Undergraduate courses in spoken Egyptian, Iraqi, and Levantine Arabic will be offered with continuation in the Second Session. These courses are not open to native speakers of Arabic, heritage speakers of Arabic, or students who have completed three years or more of Arabic at Georgetown.

Persian: In cooperation with the Division of Eastern Mediterranean Languages, three Persian courses are offered at the undergraduate level. Intensive First Level Persian and Intensive Second Level Persian as well as non-intensive First Level will be offered both sessions.

Dear list members,
I've written a new grammar book; Sahlawayhi: Arabic Grammar for Foreigners. It has a list of grammar terms translated into French, German and Spanish. I need some people to review my translation. If you are willing please write to me, and I'll send it to you. Please write to me also your mailing address so that I can send you a copy of the book when it is published.
Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Salamaat,

In addition to what Stephen Franke suggested, I might note that the University of Texas -- Austin does offer both a M.A. and a Ph.D. in Arabic Studies. The Arabic program has professors who have worked on dialectology (Kristen Brustad and Peter Abboud among others), and students are able to enroll in classes in the large Linguistics department (with many faculty who focus on field work and descriptive linguistics though most of these are Americanists). I believe Georgetown offers (offered?) a program in Arabic Language and Linguistics as well, and Michigan has a program in Near Eastern Studies with a focus on Arabic.

Subject:Arabic demonstratives


Regarding the second question:

"does anyone have any thought on why Arabic, compared to English, uses more demonstratives in written texts? For example, in a corpus of 20,000 words of English there will be say 100 instances of demonstratives, while in a same-size corpus of Arabic, there will be 200 cases if not more. That can't be just due to the fact that Arabic has more lexical forms for the demonstratives, right?"

Concerning the written form of the language, Arabic and English pack syntactic categorical constituents very differently.  Whereas every English word is delineated by whitespace, Arabic packs more information within whitespace.  For example:
شاهدتُهم (I saw them) as a written unit bounded by whitespace consists of I + saw + them, which in English is three units.  
So for this example, what takes one 'word' in written Arabic requires three in English.

Perhaps you should factor this difference of information packing between English and Arabic.

Subject:Arabic demonstratives


There may be something to explain, but you probably have your data wrong, at least for American English.  I searched for this|that|these|those in the 400 million word corpus of American English, and got 1975 instances per 100,000 (which comes out to be about 400 per 20,000, not 100).  Admittedly, there is spoken English in this corpus, but it is overwhelmingly written.  I don't think you are going to be able to get it down to 100 per 20,000: perhaps you meant that more as a 'suppose or for example' than an actual claim).

l looked at separate newspapers in arabiCorpus for hvA|hvh|vlk|tlk|hWlAC|LwlAC and found the following:

Ahram (Egypt): 1240 per 100,000
Thawra (Syria): 1240 per 100,000
Tajdid (Morocco): 1600 per 100,000
Modern Literature: 1158 per 100,000
Pre-modern corpus: 2050 per 100,000

Except for the pre-modern corpus (which is small and rather idiosyncratic, so I wouldn't trust those numbers that much), it is clear that Arabic writers use the common demonstratives a lot less than American English writers do.  Note the remarkable consistency in the Egypt/Syria percentages, while the Moroccan numbers are significantly higher.

To repeat, there is something to explain, but it is not why Arabs use them more.

For 3andii bayt, etc, you might say "prepositions of possession." Obviously there's no clear term from traditional Arabic grammar since they are after all just prepositions.

Hi folks,
     It is one of 'the secrets of Arabic'  [/asraar  al`arabiyyah/] that in the derived forms (Forms II and above) that the passive participle may serve as the 'noun of place'  [/ism  maqaan/].  E.g. 
II  /muSallan/  =  'mosque'; V  /mutanazzal  al-mala'ikah/  =  'the place from which the angels descend;  Viii  /mujtama`/  =  'society', X  /mustashfan/  =  'hospital', etc.  Thus, /al-mutanazzal/  may mean 'the place from which my fulminations for the future, translated [i.e. explicated "in a clear Arabic tongue"] originate.'  [Good Grief!]
    The form may also be a /maSdar  miimii/, for which all the preceding applies.

Aram Society for Syro-Mesopotamian Studies is inaugurating a series of conferences on the Amorites and related themes. These will be held every four years at the University of Oxford. The first in the series will take place in 2011 and it aims to study the Amorites’ kingdoms and their civilization in the Syro-Mesopotamian area.

Scholars are invited to submit papers in one of two categories:
1.	Academic research in a paper allotted 40 minutes including discussion.
2.	Short academic interventions presenting work in progress or brief notes on the subject lasting 25 minutes including discussion.

Aram Society will form a scientific advisory committee to help with the organisation of the conference and the editing of conference proceedings for publication. We will confirm that we have received your proposal on receipt of an abstract that should include the main sources consulted for the paper and the time needed to deliver the communication. In order to allow for discussion participants should speak for 35 or 20 minutes.

Papers will be accepted from accredited academics in the field and please note that the committee will be very strict in only accepting papers relevant to the conference theme. Finally the organising committee reserves the right to reduce the length of a paper if necessary and all papers submitted for publication are accepted subject to peer review.

All queries should be addressed to Dr Shafiq Abouzayd:

Aram Society for Syro-Mesopotamian Studies, the Oriental Institute, Oxford University, Pusey Lane, Oxford OX1 2LE, England. Tel. ++1865-514041. Fax ++1865-516824. Email: aram at orinst.ox.ac.uk

Subject:Needs source on editing Arabic mss

Dear list members,

I'm looking for a handbook or textbook that covers the practical aspects of editing Arabic manuscripts. Does anyone know of such a resource? I am familiar with Witkam's online materials for a course in Islamic palaeography, but I'm looking for something a little more systematic and "handy". For those who may have some background in classics, I have in mind something along the lines of Martin West's Textual Criticism and Editorial Technique Applicable to Greek and Latin Texts (1973), but for Arabic.

Many thanks in advance for any leads!

Best wishes,

Adam McCollum

Subject:Summer Intensive Program in Gulf Arabic 2010

The Gulf Arabic Programme in Buraimi, Oman invites students to join us for the
 
Gulf Arabic Programme's Summer Intensive Programme (ISP) 2010.
 
This four-week course runs every July and teaches the spoken dialect of the Arabian Gulf. This year it will be June 27 - July 22, Sundays through Thursdays. Classes are from  8:00 a.m. to 2:40 p.m. with a half-hour lunch break. Another four hours or so will need to be spent outside of class each day. The class costs AED 3750 which includes your book and CD.

The course will provide you with a good introduction to colloquial Gulf Arabic, starting with how to put together basic sentences.  By the end of the course you are able to give and receive directions; use verbs in the past and (to some extent) the present and engage in very basic conversations
on a few topics.

Students are expected to have mastered the Arabic alphabet before they arrive, this can be done using any of the popular 'Teach Yourself Arabic' courses available in bookshops worldwide.  Students who arrive unfamiliar with Arabic script will almost certainly not be able to proceed with the course.  This requirement on students allows us to begin study of the language immediately without the need to spend valuable time on the alphabet.  To help students see if they are sufficiently competent in the script to benefit from the course, we have placed a self assessment test on our website at
http://www.gapschool.net/Alif_Baa_Web_Test/Alif_Baa_Web_Test.htm.

Please note that the program is in Buraimi, Oman, which is a twin city of Al Ain, UAE. You can enter Buraimi with your passport using your UAE visitor visa without stamping out of the UAE depending on your nationality. If you let me know your nationality I can let you know more about this.

You can apply online for our program at http://www.gapschool.net/application.htm.

Upon our receipt of your application you will need to send a deposit of AED 1000. Please contact us for details on how to do this.
 
Sincerely,
Keith Finke,
Director

> For 3andii bayt, etc, you might say "prepositions of possession." Obviously there's no clear term from traditional Arabic grammar since they are after all just prepositions.
> 

This is because in Traditional Arabic Grammar , the parts of speech are only three: nouns, verbs and  prepositions while in modern Arabic grammar, we have all the other grammatical categories available in some other languages. Possession in Arabic can also be expressed by the pronouns of possession (jaa', hum, na, etc.).

Call for Participation - Collaboration in Cataloging: Islamic Manuscripts at Michigan

Colleagues,

The University of Michigan Library is pleased to invite your participation in our CLIR-funded project, "Collaboration in
Cataloging: Islamic Manuscripts at Michigan," by way of our newly launched project website:

http://www.lib.umich.edu/islamic/

The project website provides access to bibliographic records and digital images of the Islamic manuscripts; facilitates the gathering of informative and insightful commentary from scholars on campus, across the country, and around the world; and exposes in real time the dynamic enrichment of bibliographic information as project staff, scholars, and other contributors interact with the system. By involving the widest possible scholarly community in the iterative enrichment of manuscript descriptions, our project makes the best possible use of collective expertise that will help us overcome the challenges inherent in traditional manuscript cataloguing.

The Islamic Manuscripts Collection at the University of Michigan contains approximately 1,100 manuscript volumes mainly in Arabic, Persian, and Turkish and dating from roughly the 8th to the 20th century CE. A limited amount of descriptive information for the manuscripts has already been gathered and converted to preliminary records in our online library catalogue. Likewise, the manuscripts are being digitized with their digital versions appearing in the Hathi Trust Digital Library. The existing descriptive information is currently being enhanced as the project cataloguer and staff examine the manuscripts (both physically and in the digital environment) and use a research approach to assemble as rich and analytical a description as possible for each manuscript.

We invite you to join us in the examination and description of the manuscripts and submit the results of your analysis as comments via our project website. Your contributions will be reviewed by the project cataloguer and refashioned for incorporation into the cataloguing records for the manuscripts you examine. Additionally, your contribution will be recognized both on the site and in the record for the manuscript that appears in our library catalogue.

We look forward to seeing your comments posted to the project site and thank you in advance for your valuable contribution to this project.

Subject:New Book:Arabic and the Media

Arabic and the media: Linguistic analyses and applications, 
Reem Bassiouney (ed)
Brill 2010

This volume is the first of its kind to deal with a variety of topics by leading scholars related to the use of Arabic in the media. The contributors examine patterns of language use in traditional as well as 'new' media types, in order to further our understanding of the mechanism at work in the development of modern Arabic, both in its standard and colloquial varieties. 
The first part of this volume is devoted to a close analysis of various aspects of media Arabic (code-switching, language variation, orthography and constructions of identity); the second part builds on the first, as it asks, to what extent does the Arabic used in the media reflect social and linguistic realities of Arabic speaking audiences (‘clichéd’ dialects, code-switching and socialects)? How can our knowledge of the linguistic reality of the media in the Arab world contribute to teaching the media to foreign students learning Arabic?

Subject:translation for 'common sense'

Dear listers,

What would be your suggestion for translating "common sense" to  
Arabic? In German/Norwegian, it's "healthy"/sound sense (gesunder  
Menschenverstand / sunn fornuft - I won't go into the long-debated  
differences between Verstand and Vernunft here, but note that both are  
less 'sensual' than 'sense'). In French, c.s. is "good" sense (bon  
sens).

In Arabic, عقل and معقول may fill some of the same function  
(cf. العقل السليم في الجسم السليم). What do you  
suggest?

Thank you,
Albrecht Hofheinz

Dear Colleagues,
 
I would appreciate knowing if there have been any recent surveys on the number of class or credit hours for first and second year Arabic classes. For example, Berkeley lists that both first and second year Arabic are 5 hour per week (i.e., 5 credit hour courses).   If there have not been any recent surveys (in the last 5-7 years), could you please click on the following urls and make your selections (which should take about 10 seconds or less)?  I will then post the results.

Subject:the root of a hollow verb

Hi Sana,

If you change the verb into the present, you'll get the root, which does not
have alif.
For example:
qaala - yaqoolu ... so the root is q - w - l
sarra - yasiiru ... so the root is s - y - r

For a verb like naama - yanaamu   ... I think of the common *masdar *(nawm)
so the root is n - w - m

Try the verbs for : sell, fly, become or fast.  See how it works?

Hope that helps :)

Subject:the root of a hollow verb

The alif in alfi3l elmu3tall alwasat namely the hallow verb is not part of the root and in this case we have to find the consonant behind the alif whether it is a waw or yaa. Thus in the case of kana by looking at the present tense and the masdar (verbal noun) we find that the waw is the middle missing consonant so the root would be Kaf waw nun and the same applies to qama and jala. However sara and adara the missing consonant behind the alif is the yaa.

Hi Sana,

In response to your question, hollow verbs have an alif as their middle letter in the basic form, i.e. the third person singular (naama, kaana, maala, zaada). The ROOT/jidhr however never has an alif in the middle, but either waw or yaa (in the case of the verbs mentioned above: n-w-m, k-w-n, m-y-l, z-y-d) which is how the words are found/sorted in the dictionary.

Hope that helps,

Subject:the root of a hollow verb

Hi Sana,
The alif stands in for the 'ayn al-fi'l (the middle radical) which is either a waw or a yaa; thus the verb "zada" is analyzed as having the root za'- yaa- dal (in the first form you can tell what the middle radical is from the mudari' ("future/present) --> yazidu, or qala --> yaqulu (qaa- waw - lam).

??? - ---  ?  ?  ?
???  ----- ?   ?   ? 
???  -------   ?   ?   ?  
 
you can have just a hamza in the root like the verb : to start ??? where the root is ?   ?   ?  May be you mix the alif with the hamza ?  
hope this help ,

Subject:the root of a hollow verb

Dear Sana,
Hollow verbs ALWAYS have alif in the middle ??? ?????:
form I : ??? - ??? - ???
form IV : ????
form VII : ?????
form X : ??????
This is the spelling. The root is something else. You may say that the "substructure" of alif is either ??? or ???. You can find the root of ??? by looking at the present tense ????, which has ???. Therefore, the root is ? ? ? . The root of ??? ???? is  ? ? ?. If you look at the present of ??? it is ????, which has alif (alif is never part of the root). Then you go to ?????? , which is ????? . Therefore, the root is ? ? ?
Alif is never part of the root because it is ALWAYS a vowel, whereas ??? and ??? can be vowels or consonants.
Please note that the hamza ? is a different letter/ sound.

From:<mcredi at cloud9.net>
Subject:the root of a hollow verb

A root always consists of three consonants, or radicals. In the case of the hollow verbs, the second radical is a weak consonant, that is, either a waaw or a yaa?. The root of kaana is kwn, the underlying form being kawana; the root of naama is nwm, the underlying form being nawima; the root of qaala is qwl, the underlying form being qawala; and the root of zaada is zyd, the underlying form being zayada.
 
What happens is that, according to a phonetic rule, the weak consonant between two vowels is deleted and the two short vowels in contact become one long vowel. This is how we get kaana, naama, qaala and zaada.

Subject:the root of a hollow verb

dear sana,
alif cannot ever be part of a root in arabic. it is possible for a hamza to be part of a root- so for example ??? would have a root of ? - ? - ? but with with hollow verbs you usually have to know what the verb is in the present tense or the verbal noun is to know what it's root is. so for the verb ??? you have to know that its verbal noun is ????? and from there you would get its root ? - ? - ?.  also, sometimes with nouns, you have to figure out what the root is by knowing the word in the plural form. so for example ??? has a plural of ????? and the root comes from that- ? ? ?. i hope that helps.

Subject:Arabic concepts non-lexicalized in English

If I understand you correctly, I can think of some expressions that take more than literary translation to convey the concept. Here are some of those expressions:  

?? ????? ?????   this is an expression used one person to another when something harmful befalls the other in a way of sowing sympathy. 

   ????? ????? common expression uttered by a recipient of condolences to the one who is extending the condolences. the answer is ?????? ????? 

 ???? ??? Usually this is a response to "???? ?????" which is a common expression said at the end of having a mail as a guest to the hosts     

 ?????? ?????? Said after a guest or a person has finished eating or drinking. The response ???? ?????/?

???? ???? /?????? said to someone after doing a good job, not necessarily using his/her hands. 

?????? ???? ?????  This is an interesting expression that was not clear to me for sometime until I heard the equivalent of it in Syrian context ????? ????. It is said when someone has experienced a loss of a dear person to death. It literary means "the rest may go to your life" but the Syrian version   sheds light on the meaning of ?????? ???? ????? which, probably  would mean "may what is remaining of the deceased life be added to yours".   

  ????? This is a very famous expression used when someone gets hair cut or when gets out of the shower/bath. the response ???? ???? ????  

????? said to someone after he/she had immediately finished a drink (of water normally)

Hello Mai,
 
Two examples I can think of are the words ????? and ????.
 
I didn't know what to tell an American friend when she broke my mug :) Saying "don't worry about it" is not the same as the Arabic "may this mug be a replacement for any harm that could have happened to you"!!
 
The same goes for ???? as in the one between old friends, husband and wife, neighbors, etc. It means those people have shared a lot but it's really more than that, no?
I hope that helps,

????? ?????        - Egyptians use it to express willingness to rescue their lives for help , I wrote about it , I think it is one of the Arabic concepts that is non-lexicalised in English   , the funny thing is when you try to convey the meaning in Arabic without having to resort to the mediator Language , I get asked often , why ?????   and not any other part of the body? good question.   warm regards.

Mai,

One concept that comes to mind is actually  "?????" when used to congratulate someone on a purchase, and not an achievement (i.e. the meaning where "??????" would be an inappropriate response).

Another is "?????"  meaning "I wish i have what you had, or what happens to you happens to me too", which does necessarily not have the negative connotation of envy. Not sure if this is considered MSA.

Alex,

I got in touch with CMESR the other week, and it seems they are a sort of coordinating institution. They have not quoted me a price yet, but are looking at arranging a tutor for literary arabic and a class for spoken arabic at the university of Damascus. They also apparently help finding housing etc, and would likely take a fee for all that. 

Not sure what their pricing is like, and whether or not it would be better just to do all the leg-work independently, but since they are pretty fast on e-mail, you can just ask them i think!

The Arabic and Islamic Studies Department has 7 full time members of staff.  Each teacher is expected to teach both Arabic and Islamic Studies to a variety of grades from 7 to 13.

Dear Language instructors
 
We hope to see many of you at this year's Western Consortium workshop, as presenters or participants.
We are delighted that the workshop facilitator this year is Dr. John Eisele whom you all know.  I'm sure some of you have already seen the call for abstracts, but in case you have not, the invitation appears below.
 
 
Call for Abstracts
?Language Beyond the Classroom:
Developing & Maintaining Advanced Proficiency?
University of Arizona
Tucson, AZ
April 16-18, 2010
 
The 2010 Western Consortium Middle East Language Workshop is a 2-day event hosted
this year by the University of Arizona?s Center for Middle Eastern Studies (CMES). The
2010 Workshop will explore "bridging activities" that link formal classroom learning to
non-formal, student-centered learning especially for developing and maintaining
advanced proficiency in Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, and Turkish. These activities could
include use of films or broadcast media, technology, games, or study abroad.
The workshop facilitator is Dr. John Eisele, Associate Professor of Arabic in the
Department of Modern Languages and Literatures at the College of William and Mary.
Using the case of Arabic diglossia, Dr. Eisele will conduct a two-hour interactive session
on the pedagogy of teaching formal (textbook) vs. informal (street) language.
The workshop program will include hands-on/interactive sessions, panels, and individual
talks. CMES invites abstracts from language instructors for these sessions.
Abstracts should not exceed 300 words and must be accompanied by the registration
form (available for download on the workshop website).
The deadline for submissions is March 8, 2010. Notification of acceptance or rejection
will be sent by March 17, 2010.
We look forward to seeing you in Tucson!

Contact: Alexandra Vella 
Contact Email: alexandra.vella at um.edu.mt

Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics; Morphology; Phonology; Sociolinguistics 

Subject Language(s): Maltese (mlt)

Meeting Description: 

The Institute of Linguistics in collaboration with the Department of Maltese of the University of Malta is pleased to announce a call for participation in the International Programme in Maltese Linguistics to be held in Malta from 22-31 March 2010. The programme was offered for the first time in the summer of 2009, and, like the Summer School in Maltese Linguistics that ran in June 2009, it is being organised through the Foundation for International Studies ltd at the Old University in Valletta.  The programme comprises lectures and seminars, as well as a number of visits to historical sites, some with linguistic interest, around Malta and Gozo. It will provide participants with a unique opportunity to become acquainted with different aspects of the linguistic structure of Maltese. It is aimed primarily at linguists and students of linguistics but should also appeal to practitioners working with Maltese, such as translators and language teachers, particularly teachers of Maltese to adults/foreigners. A parallel course in Maltese involving input from lecturers of the University of Malta's Skola tal-Malti will also be offered if enough interest is expressed.

Comments from June 2009 participants:

'As an Arabist and a historical linguist, I found the programme extremely interesting, stimulating and beneficial. I think it would be useful to students and researchers in Arabic dialectology, historical linguistics, contact linguistics, varieties of English and linguistic typology.' --C.L., Cambridge.

'It was an excellent experience. The very thorough programme on Maltese Linguistics is suitable even for students who only have limited knowledge about Maltese. For me as a student who has been dealing with Maltese for some time, this programme was the ideal place not only to revise and deepen my knowledge of the language structure but also to get an update on current issues in Maltese linguistics.' --J.J., Osnabr?ck. 

Call for Participation:

Reminder - Registrations are now being accepted. We recommend that potential participants get in touch asap as their doing this would contribute to smoothening the preparation process all round. Thank you.

Topics to be discussed will include:

-The segmental phonetics and phonology of Maltese
-Maltese prosody
-The historical phonology and morphology of Maltese
-Word formation processes in Maltese: derivation, inflection, compounding
-Verbless sentences
-Topicalisation
-Tense and aspect in Maltese
-Reflections on aspects of Maltese vocabulary
-Maltese and other languages: A linguistic history of Malta
-Language use in the Maltese context
-Computer technologies and Maltese
-Maltese in the media
-Language planning in the Maltese context
-Literature in Maltese
-Maltese in the EU context
-Maltese Sign Language

The program need not be in the US, but I would like to know about any US programs if you know of any. Thanks!

We have a verb "to show" for warra yiwarri (??? ????) yet if I have some music or something else I want you to listen to, I will asamma'ak. We might say, "to play (the music) for you," or to "let you listen" or "have you listen," but none of these are quite as broad or as concise as samma'.

This was also a common idiom in the Persian of Iran, a circumlocution designed to lessen 
the shock or morbidity of someone's passing, by representing it as a lengthening of
the life of the person to whom the news is being reported (second person formal is
more typical, I think).  As such, there is probably no reason to use anything but a
second-person pronoun there.

Subject:Arabic demonstrative queries

Hi everyone,

First, I want to thank you all for the very nice examples of non-lexicalised concepts. You have been a great help.

Now my first question here appeals to historical and morphological concerns. It is well known that, in terms of etymology, the definite article "the" and the demonstratives "this/that" share the demonstrative morpheme th- whose roots can be traced back to Old English. Now, has there been any mention of a possible parallelism between this demonstrative morpheme th- and the Arabic demonstrative ??? I mean, at least, is the phonological similarity a matter of coincidence or there is a story behind it? 

Secondly, in Cantarino (1975: 30)* he states that: "all Arabic forms of the demonstrative pronouns were originally elements of interjectional character, which, after the fading of this effect, have become particles of demonstrative determination". Can anyone please expand on this idea, has it been mentioned in any other reference? Does anyone have examples for this 'interjectional use'? 

Here is another question: does anyone have any thought on why Arabic, compared to English, uses more demonstratives in written texts? For example, in a corpus of 20,000 words of English there will be say 100 instances of demonstratives, while in a same-size corpus of Arabic, there will be 200 cases if not more. That can't be just due to the fact that Arabic has more lexical forms for the demonstratives, right?

Thank you.

Linguistic Borrowing into Coptic 

Date: 26-Apr-2010 - 28-Apr-2010 
Location: Leipzig, Germany 
Contact: Sebastian Richter 
Contact Email: borrowing.into.coptic at uni-leipzig.de 
Meeting URL: http://www.uni-leipzig.de/~egyptol/ 

Linguistic Field(s): Historical Linguistics; Sociolinguistics 

Subject Language(s): Coptic (cop)

Meeting Description: 

Despite the prominence of loanwords in Coptic texts, basic lexicographical tools are sadly lacking. As a result, the empirical data on which broader research on bilingualism in Late Antique and Early Islamic Egypt has been based is but partial and, at times, unrepresentative. Moreover, the field of contact linguistics has made remarkable advances in recent years, which are only sporadically represented in research on linguistic borrowing into Coptic. The first international conference on Linguistic Borrowing into Coptic is intended to bring together Copticists and general linguists, especially experts on contact linguistics and typologists. The goal of this meeting is twofold: on one hand, to make linguists aware of a case of extensive and well-attested lexical borrowing in a situation of stable bilingualism, and on the other, to make Copticists aware of current empirical and theoretical research in language contact and borrowing. A further aim is to encourage open discussion about the practical and methodological aspects of developing a database and dictionary of Greek loanwords in Coptic.

> Hi Mike,
> I read your message on the arabic linguist list. Assuming the blogger did not mean to call himself "the translator", my guess is he's playing with the roots r-j-m in pattern V, tafa''al, yielding an Extensive, Reflexive passive participle. "The one who has been stoned by himself". MacDonald wrote an article about the Extensive patterns II and III and their reflexive counterparts V and VI. I'd be interested to hear other thoughts.

Hi Elijah,
     My guess would be that he intends "he who tries to tell the future",  like  /al-mutanabbi'/  =
"he who would be a prophet"  based on Form II "telling future tales".  The pun probably rests
on  /mutarjim/  =  "translator".  I can personally attest, as one who has been stoned by myself,
that decoding Arabic is a much more rewarding trip.
 
   Best wishes,
Mike Schub

I am not quite sure whether the asker means the meaning of the term "mutarjim" or the site.
the word mutarjim means in simple words someone who can convey the spoken or the written word of one language into another. So an interpreter is a mutarjim and a translator is a mutarjim too.
 
I hope that I did understand the question correctly.

Subject:Effective Programs for Arabic Heritage Learners

Effective language programs for (Arabic Heritage Learners) AHL

In the previous post "Is it time our children heard about ?Sirat Banu Hilal ," I raised  the question to educationalists , language planners/parents of   Arabic Heritage Children (AHL)  about how to begin Arabic Heritage  teaching, i.e. the use of  our heritage components in classes  versus AFL corpus. There is a general recognition that the needs of heritage learners are different from L2 learners, I suggest there could be a necessity for a growing body of literature that identifies those needs. What distinguishes heritage language and foreign language acquisition is that heritage language acquisition begins at home, as opposed to foreign language acquisition which, is usually begun in classrooms. The model for instruction proposes that the curriculum should be organized so that students initially draw on their knowledge of the spoken language. The norms of various written genres are introduced gradually, progressing from less to more formal and more complex discourse typ!
 e, with an emphasis on text cohesion.

Due to the  lack of pedagogical literature proposing effective teaching strategies for heritage language populations, especially strategies that could apply cross-linguistically. Linguists are invited to attempt to wed practice to theory, proposing a pedagogical approach to heritage language literacy that is based on insights into bilingualism and intergenerational language shift.

Other consideration, therefore, related to the development and implementation of Heritage Language programs include: curriculum development is an important component of an AHL language program. There is an urgent need for more planning; Effective language programs require honest assessment and evaluation to ensure that both the short and long term objectives are being met. A broad range of people should be involved in that evaluation, not only the people who set up the programs. AHL history,  as a resource and material for use in language instruction, thus ,we could create a bridge between AHL learners and their history in order to create a compromise for some subjects.

Greetings.

The most-apparent path in US institutions to a doctorate with specialty in Arabic dialectology is a PhD program in linguistics and then focus on Arabic dialectology, including, for example, studies in diglossia, code switching, Arabization of foreign concepts and related terms, foreign loanwords in Arabic, or the emergence of regional Arabic creoles (as in the coastal cities of the Arabian Gulf region and Yemen, where I did most of my research in dialectology).

Some likely institutions:

1. Georgetown U

2. UCLA

3. U of Texas at Austin

4. UNC Chapel Hill

Hope this helps. 

Khair, in shaa' Allah.

Welcome to the Summer Arabic & Persian Language Institute 
at Georgetown University!

http://summerschool.georgetown.edu/index.cfm

2010 SUMMER SESSION DATES
PRE SESSION: MAY 24 - JUNE 18
1ST SESSION: JUNE 7 - JULY 9
2ND SESSION: JULY 12 - AUGUST 13

The Language Institute offers students the opportunity to acquire or master skills in reading, writing, listening, and speaking in Arabic and Persian. Language instruction is proficiency-oriented and imparts cultural experiences and knowledge. The materials used are broad-based and help students develop skills for communication. Students learn how to accomplish language tasks in formal and informal situations. Assessments reflect the model of an educated native speaker as well as proficiency (American Council for the Teaching of Foreign Language: ACTFL) guidelines.

Classes are small and students benefit from individual attention inside and outside the classroom. Experienced, dedicated, and diverse faculty use current techniques and incorporate technology-based instruction. The summer program provides real-time and on demand access to current media resources and the latest in classroom language learning technology. The Language Institute offers its students a gateway to an exceptional academic community at Georgetown University, a range of summer activities in the Summer School, and state-of-the-art language opportunities.

Arabic: A comprehensive undergraduate program of intensive and non-intensive learning in Modern Standard Arabic will last ten weeks, with courses in basic, intermediate advanced as well as media Arabic. In the Pre-session, Teaching Arabic as a Foreign Language will be offered which is open to both graduate and undergraduate students. 

Content Arabic: Advanced Arabic language courses for advanced high learners are taught entirely in Arabic.. They offer undergraduate and graduate students essential subject matter learning (linguistic, cultural and political) while building their language proficiency. Courses include Arab Politics in the Middle East.

Colloquial Arabic: Undergraduate courses in spoken Egyptian, Iraqi, and Levantine Arabic will be offered with continuation in the Second Session. These courses are not open to native speakers of Arabic, heritage speakers of Arabic, or students who have completed three years or more of Arabic at Georgetown.

Persian: In cooperation with the Division of Eastern Mediterranean Languages, three Persian courses are offered at the undergraduate level. Intensive First Level Persian and Intensive Second Level Persian as well as non-intensive First Level will be offered both sessions.

Dear list members,
I've written a new grammar book; Sahlawayhi: Arabic Grammar for Foreigners. It has a list of grammar terms translated into French, German and Spanish. I need some people to review my translation. If you are willing please write to me, and I'll send it to you. Please write to me also your mailing address so that I can send you a copy of the book when it is published.
Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Salamaat,

In addition to what Stephen Franke suggested, I might note that the University of Texas -- Austin does offer both a M.A. and a Ph.D. in Arabic Studies. The Arabic program has professors who have worked on dialectology (Kristen Brustad and Peter Abboud among others), and students are able to enroll in classes in the large Linguistics department (with many faculty who focus on field work and descriptive linguistics though most of these are Americanists). I believe Georgetown offers (offered?) a program in Arabic Language and Linguistics as well, and Michigan has a program in Near Eastern Studies with a focus on Arabic.

Subject:Arabic demonstratives


Regarding the second question:

"does anyone have any thought on why Arabic, compared to English, uses more demonstratives in written texts? For example, in a corpus of 20,000 words of English there will be say 100 instances of demonstratives, while in a same-size corpus of Arabic, there will be 200 cases if not more. That can't be just due to the fact that Arabic has more lexical forms for the demonstratives, right?"

Concerning the written form of the language, Arabic and English pack syntactic categorical constituents very differently.  Whereas every English word is delineated by whitespace, Arabic packs more information within whitespace.  For example:
???????? (I saw them) as a written unit bounded by whitespace consists of I + saw + them, which in English is three units.  
So for this example, what takes one 'word' in written Arabic requires three in English.

Perhaps you should factor this difference of information packing between English and Arabic.

Subject:Arabic demonstratives


There may be something to explain, but you probably have your data wrong, at least for American English.  I searched for this|that|these|those in the 400 million word corpus of American English, and got 1975 instances per 100,000 (which comes out to be about 400 per 20,000, not 100).  Admittedly, there is spoken English in this corpus, but it is overwhelmingly written.  I don't think you are going to be able to get it down to 100 per 20,000: perhaps you meant that more as a 'suppose or for example' than an actual claim).

l looked at separate newspapers in arabiCorpus for hvA|hvh|vlk|tlk|hWlAC|LwlAC and found the following:

Ahram (Egypt): 1240 per 100,000
Thawra (Syria): 1240 per 100,000
Tajdid (Morocco): 1600 per 100,000
Modern Literature: 1158 per 100,000
Pre-modern corpus: 2050 per 100,000

Except for the pre-modern corpus (which is small and rather idiosyncratic, so I wouldn't trust those numbers that much), it is clear that Arabic writers use the common demonstratives a lot less than American English writers do.  Note the remarkable consistency in the Egypt/Syria percentages, while the Moroccan numbers are significantly higher.

To repeat, there is something to explain, but it is not why Arabs use them more.

For 3andii bayt, etc, you might say "prepositions of possession." Obviously there's no clear term from traditional Arabic grammar since they are after all just prepositions.

Hi folks,
     It is one of 'the secrets of Arabic'  [/asraar  al`arabiyyah/] that in the derived forms (Forms II and above) that the passive participle may serve as the 'noun of place'  [/ism  maqaan/].  E.g. 
II  /muSallan/  =  'mosque'; V  /mutanazzal  al-mala'ikah/  =  'the place from which the angels descend;  Viii  /mujtama`/  =  'society', X  /mustashfan/  =  'hospital', etc.  Thus, /al-mutanazzal/  may mean 'the place from which my fulminations for the future, translated [i.e. explicated "in a clear Arabic tongue"] originate.'  [Good Grief!]
    The form may also be a /maSdar  miimii/, for which all the preceding applies.

Aram Society for Syro-Mesopotamian Studies is inaugurating a series of conferences on the Amorites and related themes. These will be held every four years at the University of Oxford. The first in the series will take place in 2011 and it aims to study the Amorites? kingdoms and their civilization in the Syro-Mesopotamian area.

Scholars are invited to submit papers in one of two categories:
1.	Academic research in a paper allotted 40 minutes including discussion.
2.	Short academic interventions presenting work in progress or brief notes on the subject lasting 25 minutes including discussion.

Aram Society will form a scientific advisory committee to help with the organisation of the conference and the editing of conference proceedings for publication. We will confirm that we have received your proposal on receipt of an abstract that should include the main sources consulted for the paper and the time needed to deliver the communication. In order to allow for discussion participants should speak for 35 or 20 minutes.

Papers will be accepted from accredited academics in the field and please note that the committee will be very strict in only accepting papers relevant to the conference theme. Finally the organising committee reserves the right to reduce the length of a paper if necessary and all papers submitted for publication are accepted subject to peer review.

All queries should be addressed to Dr Shafiq Abouzayd:

Subject:Needs source on editing Arabic mss

Dear list members,

I'm looking for a handbook or textbook that covers the practical aspects of editing Arabic manuscripts. Does anyone know of such a resource? I am familiar with Witkam's online materials for a course in Islamic palaeography, but I'm looking for something a little more systematic and "handy". For those who may have some background in classics, I have in mind something along the lines of Martin West's Textual Criticism and Editorial Technique Applicable to Greek and Latin Texts (1973), but for Arabic.

Many thanks in advance for any leads!

Best wishes,

Adam McCollum

Subject:Summer Intensive Program in Gulf Arabic 2010

The Gulf Arabic Programme in Buraimi, Oman invites students to join us for the
 
Gulf Arabic Programme's Summer Intensive Programme (ISP) 2010.
 
This four-week course runs every July and teaches the spoken dialect of the Arabian Gulf. This year it will be June 27 - July 22, Sundays through Thursdays. Classes are from  8:00 a.m. to 2:40 p.m. with a half-hour lunch break. Another four hours or so will need to be spent outside of class each day. The class costs AED 3750 which includes your book and CD.

The course will provide you with a good introduction to colloquial Gulf Arabic, starting with how to put together basic sentences.  By the end of the course you are able to give and receive directions; use verbs in the past and (to some extent) the present and engage in very basic conversations
on a few topics.

Students are expected to have mastered the Arabic alphabet before they arrive, this can be done using any of the popular 'Teach Yourself Arabic' courses available in bookshops worldwide.  Students who arrive unfamiliar with Arabic script will almost certainly not be able to proceed with the course.  This requirement on students allows us to begin study of the language immediately without the need to spend valuable time on the alphabet.  To help students see if they are sufficiently competent in the script to benefit from the course, we have placed a self assessment test on our website at
http://www.gapschool.net/Alif_Baa_Web_Test/Alif_Baa_Web_Test.htm.

Please note that the program is in Buraimi, Oman, which is a twin city of Al Ain, UAE. You can enter Buraimi with your passport using your UAE visitor visa without stamping out of the UAE depending on your nationality. If you let me know your nationality I can let you know more about this.

You can apply online for our program at http://www.gapschool.net/application.htm.

Upon our receipt of your application you will need to send a deposit of AED 1000. Please contact us for details on how to do this.
 
Sincerely,
Keith Finke,
Director

> For 3andii bayt, etc, you might say "prepositions of possession." Obviously there's no clear term from traditional Arabic grammar since they are after all just prepositions.
> 

This is because in Traditional Arabic Grammar , the parts of speech are only three: nouns, verbs and  prepositions while in modern Arabic grammar, we have all the other grammatical categories available in some other languages. Possession in Arabic can also be expressed by the pronouns of possession (jaa', hum, na, etc.).

Call for Participation - Collaboration in Cataloging: Islamic Manuscripts at Michigan

Colleagues,

The University of Michigan Library is pleased to invite your participation in our CLIR-funded project, "Collaboration in
Cataloging: Islamic Manuscripts at Michigan," by way of our newly launched project website:

http://www.lib.umich.edu/islamic/

The project website provides access to bibliographic records and digital images of the Islamic manuscripts; facilitates the gathering of informative and insightful commentary from scholars on campus, across the country, and around the world; and exposes in real time the dynamic enrichment of bibliographic information as project staff, scholars, and other contributors interact with the system. By involving the widest possible scholarly community in the iterative enrichment of manuscript descriptions, our project makes the best possible use of collective expertise that will help us overcome the challenges inherent in traditional manuscript cataloguing.

The Islamic Manuscripts Collection at the University of Michigan contains approximately 1,100 manuscript volumes mainly in Arabic, Persian, and Turkish and dating from roughly the 8th to the 20th century CE. A limited amount of descriptive information for the manuscripts has already been gathered and converted to preliminary records in our online library catalogue. Likewise, the manuscripts are being digitized with their digital versions appearing in the Hathi Trust Digital Library. The existing descriptive information is currently being enhanced as the project cataloguer and staff examine the manuscripts (both physically and in the digital environment) and use a research approach to assemble as rich and analytical a description as possible for each manuscript.

We invite you to join us in the examination and description of the manuscripts and submit the results of your analysis as comments via our project website. Your contributions will be reviewed by the project cataloguer and refashioned for incorporation into the cataloguing records for the manuscripts you examine. Additionally, your contribution will be recognized both on the site and in the record for the manuscript that appears in our library catalogue.

We look forward to seeing your comments posted to the project site and thank you in advance for your valuable contribution to this project.

More information on the project is available here:

http://www.lib.umich.edu/special-collections-library/clir-islamic-manuscripts-project

You may browse records of all the manuscripts in our catalogue at:   http://mirlyn.lib.umich.edu/Search/Home?filter%5B%5D=location%3ASPEC%20ISLM&page=1&use_dismax=1

Please forward any questions, comments, and/or suggestions to project staff at islamic.manuscripts at umich.edu.

Subject:New Book:Arabic and the Media

Arabic and the media: Linguistic analyses and applications, 
Reem Bassiouney (ed)
Brill 2010

This volume is the first of its kind to deal with a variety of topics by leading scholars related to the use of Arabic in the media. The contributors examine patterns of language use in traditional as well as 'new' media types, in order to further our understanding of the mechanism at work in the development of modern Arabic, both in its standard and colloquial varieties. 
The first part of this volume is devoted to a close analysis of various aspects of media Arabic (code-switching, language variation, orthography and constructions of identity); the second part builds on the first, as it asks, to what extent does the Arabic used in the media reflect social and linguistic realities of Arabic speaking audiences (?clich?d? dialects, code-switching and socialects)? How can our knowledge of the linguistic reality of the media in the Arab world contribute to teaching the media to foreign students learning Arabic?

Subject:translation for 'common sense'

Dear listers,

What would be your suggestion for translating "common sense" to  
Arabic? In German/Norwegian, it's "healthy"/sound sense (gesunder  
Menschenverstand / sunn fornuft - I won't go into the long-debated  
differences between Verstand and Vernunft here, but note that both are  
less 'sensual' than 'sense'). In French, c.s. is "good" sense (bon  
sens).

In Arabic, ??? and ????? may fill some of the same function  
(cf. ????? ?????? ?? ????? ??????). What do you  
suggest?

Thank you,
Albrecht Hofheinz

Dear Colleagues,
 
I would appreciate knowing if there have been any recent surveys on the number of class or credit hours for first and second year Arabic classes. For example, Berkeley lists that both first and second year Arabic are 5 hour per week (i.e., 5 credit hour courses).   If there have not been any recent surveys (in the last 5-7 years), could you please click on the following urls and make your selections (which should take about 10 seconds or less)?  I will then post the results.
