Subject:LDC Arabic Treebank

(1)  Arabic Treebank: Part 3 v 3.2 consists of 599 distinct newswire stories from the Lebanese publication An Nahar with part-of-speech (POS), morphology, gloss and syntactic treebank annotation in accordance with the Penn Arabic Treebank (PATB) Guidelines developed in 2008 and 2009. This release represents a significant revision of LDC's previous ATB3 publications: Arabic Treebank: Part 3 v 1.0 LDC2004T11 and Arabic Treebank: Part 3 (full corpus) v 2.0 (MPG + Syntactic Analysis LDC2005T20.

ATB3 v 3.2 contains a total of 339,710 tokens before clitics are split, and 402,291 tokens after clitics are separated for the treebank annotation. This release includes all files that were previously made available to the DARPA GALE program community (Arabic Treebank Part 3 - Version 3.1, LDC2008E22). A number of inconsistencies in the 3.1 release data have been corrected here. These include changes to certain POS tags with the resulting tree changes. As a result, additional clitics have been separated, and some previously incorrectly split tokens have now been merged.

One file from ATB3 v 2.0, ANN20020715.0063, has been removed from this corpus as that text is an exact duplicate of another file in this release (ANN20020715.0018). This reduces the number of files from 600 files in ATB3 v 2.0 to 599 files in ATB 3 v 3.2.

Arabic Treebank: Part 3 v 3.2 is distributed on one CD-ROM.

2010 Subscription Members will automatically receive two copies of this corpus.  2010 Standard Members may request a copy as part of their 16 free membership corpora. Non-members may license this data for US$4500.

2010 Summer Intensive Arabic Program
Brigham Young University

Brigham Young University (BYU) will offer first- and second-year intensive Arabic during its Summer term (June 21 - August 9). At BYU, we take an innovative approach to learning Arabic: students are exposed to the language as it is actually used in the Arab world. From the first day of class, students begin learning to speak Egyptian Arabic (the most widely understood Arabic dialect and one closely related to neighboring dialects such as urban Palestinian). Classes are highly interactive and one-on-one conversations with an Arab tutor, film evenings, soccer games, and cooking lessons are also an integral part of the experience. We are fortunate to have Ahmad Karout teaching our second-year program, which focuses on Modern Standard Arabic; however, students will continue to be exposed to Egyptian and Levantine Arabic in and outside of the classroom. Students enrolling in the second-year program should be comfortable with the skills, vocabulary, and structures taught up to and including lesson 15 in Al-Kitaab, vol. 1 (or the equivalent).

For more information on the program please look under "Summer Program" at:

http://asiane.byu.edu/arab.php

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

An optional fieldtrip to Hilo (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.

TOPICS

We welcome abstracts on best practices for language documentation and 
conservation moving forward, which may include:

- Archiving matters
- Community-based documentation/conservation initiatives
- Data management
- Fieldwork methods
- Ethical issues
- Interdisciplinary fieldwork
- Language planning
- Lexicography
- Methods of assessing ethnolinguistic vitality
- Orthography design
- Reference grammar design
- Reports on language maintenance, preservation, and revitalization
  efforts
- Teaching/learning small languages
- Technology in documentation – methods and pitfalls
- Topics in areal language documentation
- Training in documentation methods – beyond the university

This is not an exhaustive list and individual proposals on topics outside these 
areas are warmly welcomed.

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION

Abstracts should be submitted in English, but presentations can be in any 
language. We particularly welcome presentations in languages of the region 
discussed. Authors may submit no more than one individual and one joint 
(co-authored) proposal.

ABSTRACTS ARE DUE BY AUGUST 31, 2010, with notification of acceptance by 
September 30, 2010. We ask for ABSTRACTS OF NO MORE THAN 400 WORDS for online 
publication so that conference participants can have a good idea of the content 
of your paper and a 50-WORD SUMMARY for inclusion in the conference program. 
All abstracts will be submitted to blind peer review by international experts 
on the topic.

See ICLDC conference website for ONLINE PROPOSAL SUBMISSION FORM.

We will only be accepting proposal submissions for papers or posters.


Selected papers from the conference will be invited to submit to the
journal Language Documentation & Conservation for publication. (Most
presentations from the 1st ICLDC were recorded and can be heard as
podcasts here: http://scholarspace.manoa.hawaii.edu/handle/10125/5961.)


PRESENTATION FORMATS

- Papers will be allowed 20 minutes for presentation with 10 minutes of
  question time.

The Hong Kong Institute for Humanities and Social Sciences (HKIHSS) at the University of Hong Kong, the National University of Singapore (NUS), and the Social Science Research Council (SSRC) (the Organizers) are pleased to announce an open call for individual research paper submissions from researchers in any world region, to participate in a 3-day thematic workshop at an international conference, “Inter-Asian Connections II: Singapore.”
To be held in Singapore, December 8-10, 2010, the conference will host concurrent workshops, coordinated by individual directors and showcasing innovative research from across the social sciences and related disciplines. Workshops will focus on themes of particular relevance to Asia, reconceptualized as a dynamic and interconnected historical, geographical, and cultural formation stretching from the Middle East through Eurasia and South Asia, to East Asia.
The conference structure and schedule have been designed to enable intensive ‘working group’ interactions on a specific research theme, as well as broader interactions on topics of mutual interest and concern. Accordingly, there will be a public keynote and a plenary session in addition to closed workshop sessions. The concluding day of the conference will bring all the conference participants together for a public presentation and exchange of research agendas that have emerged over the course of the conference deliberations.
Individual paper submissions are invited from junior and senior scholars, whether graduate students or faculty,   or researchers in NGOs or other research organizations, for the following five workshops:
§          Regional Knowledge Hubs in Asia: the Social Sciences and Humanities in Science and Technology Human Capital (STHC)
        Workshop Directors – V.V. Krishna (National University of Singapore) and Tim Turpin (University of Western Sydney)
§          Inter-Asian temple and trust networks within and out of Southeast Asia
        Workshop Director – Kenneth Dean (McGill University)
§          How Asia Became Territorial 
         Workshop Directors – Itty Abraham (University of Texas at Austin) and See Seng Tan (S. Rajarantnam School of International Studies, Nanyang Technological University)
§          Reproduction Migration in Asia
                Workshop Directors – Biao Xiang (University of Oxford) and Mika Toyota (National University of Singapore)
§          Old Histories, New Geographies: Contrapuntal Mobilities of Trade in Asia
        Workshop Directors – Engseng Ho (Duke University) and Lakshmi Subramanian (Jamia Millia Islamia)
Descriptions of the individual workshops, including details on the workshop directors, and information on the application process are available athttp://www.ssrc.org/pages/conference-on-inter-asian-connections-ii-singapore-december-8-10-2010/.
Application materials are due Monday, May 31, 2010.  Please note that an individual cannot apply to more than one workshop. Selection decisions will be announced on June 25, 2010. Accepted participants are required to submit a 20-25 page research paper by October 15, 2010.
The Organizers will make every effort to ensure some level of funding for participants toward the travel/accommodation costs associated with attending the Inter-Asian Connections II conference. However, we are unable to guarantee any financial assistance at this point, and we encourage participants to seek funding from external agencies (such as their home institutions). We will be able to confirm details about funding availability after the selection process has been completed.
For additional inquiries, please contact the Organizers at interasia at ssrc.org.
This event is organized and co-sponsored by The Hong Kong Institute for the Humanities and Social Sciences (HKIHSS) at the University of Hong Kong, the National University of Singapore (NUS), and the Social Science Research Council (SSRC).

Subject:nominal and adjectival suppletion in Semitic

I am currently working on a typological project on nominal and 
adjectival suppletion. I have read grammars for all the languages in question.

In addition to the typological study I would like to do a historical 
comparative study of the Semitic family. Consequently, I am looking for 
suppletive nouns and adjectives in all Semitic languages except 
Maltese, Hebrew, Standard Arabic, Moroccan Arabic, Iraqi Arabic and 
Egyptian Arabic since I already have data for these languages. 

If you are familiar with any other Semitic languages and know of the 
existence of any nominal or adjectival suppletive forms, any information 
you can share will be greatly appreciated. 

For the complete list of references used please have a look at:

Subject:needs help with Moroccan Arabic word list

I'm trying to put together a psycholinguistic experiment to examine  
morphological roots in Moroccan Arabic.    Putting together a list of  
appropriate stimuli is very challenging, so I could use some help in  
thinking of words to use.  I'd truly appreciate help from anyone  
familiar with Moroccan darija.

I need sets of three words each, meeting the following criteria:

-Words 1 and 2 must share the same root.

-Words 1 and 3 must share 3 letters/sounds, but NOT the same root.


A couple of examples :

1				2				3

khddiya			khda			dda
tijara 			ttajr 				jar



Right now I'm not being picky about any details other than that, since  
it is a challenge even to think of words meeting those two simple  
requirements.     If anyone can help out by thinking of a few sets,  
that would be great.   I am not a native speaker, and I'd never be  
able to come up with enough of them on my own.

Chokran bzzaf!

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.

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.

Subject:Two new AUC scholarships


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
 
 
SCHOLARSHIPS ANNOUNCED FOR STUDY IN EGYPT
April 26, 2010, (New York, NY) –The American University in Cairo (AUC) has announced two scholarships available to U.S. students wishing to study abroad at AUC with concentrations in studies to advance understanding between the U.S. and the Arab world, or Egyptology.
 
The American University in Cairo (AUC) was founded 90 years ago and is major contributor to the social, political and cultural life of the Arab Region.  An independent, nonprofit, apolitical, non-sectarian and equal opportunity institution, AUC is fully accredited in Egypt and the United States.  It is a vital bridge between East and West, linking Egypt and the region to the world through scholarly research, partnerships with academic and research institutions, and study abroad programs.
 
The Hermann F. Eilts International Scholarship was named in tribute to Eilts, a former U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia and Egypt, and an AUC trustee.  Through diplomacy and education, Eilts worked tirelessly to bridge political divides and increase cultural understanding between the United States and the Arab world. Scholarship awards may be applied to tuition, fees and on-campus housing.  The scholarship is open to full-time undergraduate students currently enrolled in colleges and universities in the United States, who are already accepted to AUC’s study abroad program.  Additionally, they must have a 3.5 cumulative GPA and will be required to register for at least one political science, Middle East studies or history course during each semester of attendance at AUC.  To apply, students are asked to write a 1500 word essay on the following topic:  “How will my experience at The American University in Cairo impact my future career plans and broaden my appreciation of Arab culture?” 
 
The Simpson Scholarship in Egyptology is a $2500.00 award for one semester to be used toward tuition or living expenses.  The scholarship is designed for students who wish to increase their knowledge and familiarity with ancient Egypt.  Students must enroll in at least three Egyptology courses. To apply, please send a 1500 word essay on the topic, “Why I want to study Egyptology at AUC” and include a reference to three Egyptology courses for which you wish to register. 
 
Essays for both scholarships must be received in AUC’s New York office by May 15, 2010.  Applicants can e-mail essays to Wesley Clark at wclark at aucnyo.edu or mail them to The American University in Cairo, 420 Fifth Avenue, Third Floor, New York, New York, 10018-2729.

Subject:emphasis change studies wanted

Hello all,

I'm wondering whether there is any research that you know of that looks 
at the change in emphasis in some words in modern dialects. For example, 
Stowasser and Ani's dictionary gives rakad (rather than rakaD as in 
other dialects) for 'to run' while 'to give water' is Sa2a not sa2a.

Shukran,
Alex

Meeting Description:

The North American Conference on Afroasiatic Linguistics (NACAL) 
provides scholars from North America and around the world with a venue to 
discuss the Afroasiatic language phylum. Now in its 39th year, NACAL has 
held annual meetings since 1973. Previous meetings have been held in 
Albuquerque, Ann Arbor, Austin, Baltimore, Boston, Cambridge, Chicago, 
Los Angeles, Nashville, New Haven, San Diego, Seattle, Toronto, and 
several other cities in the United States and Canada. 

Call For Papers

Dear Colleagues:

Papers are solicited for the 39th annual meeting of the North American 
Conference on Afroasiatic Linguistics (NACAL 39), which will be held at the 
University of Texas at Austin, Saturday, February 12th, 2011 and Sunday, 
February 13th, 2011.

Our keynote speaker for NACAL 39 will be Grover Hudson, Professor 
emeritus of the Department of Linguistics and Germanic, Slavic, Asian, and 
African Languages, at Michigan State University.

Papers are sought on linguistic topics relevant to the languages of the 
Afroasiatic phylum (Chadic, Berber, Cushitic, Omotic, Egyptian, Semitic). 
Topics relating to all aspects of Afroasiatic languages will be considered, 
particularly including phonology, morphology, syntax, comparative 
linguistics, sociolinguistics, and epigraphy. These topics should be 
considered as general guidelines and are not intended to be exclusive. No 
original paper will be rejected on account of its subject, as long as it relates 
to the languages of the Afroasiatic phylum and meets the scholarly 
standards established by previous conferences.

Abstracts describing the precise topic treated with a length of approximately 
200-300 words can be sent as an electronic version (pdf and MS Word 
document) to the addresses specified on the registration page on the 
website (www.nacal.org). The deadline for submission is November 15, 
2010. For more information, please visit our website at  www.nacal.org.

Subject:no resumptive pronoun with marra?

It's been puzzling me that in MSA and Egyptian Colloquial Arabic, in sentences with relative clauses that refer to the word مرة, sometimes no resumptive pronoun (عائد) is used to refer back to مرة.  For example, in التيه, the first volume of the novel مدن الملح by عبد الرحمن منيف, the narrator says (pp. 128-129 in the 2008 edition):

إنها المرة الأولى التي تبدو لهم الأماكن معادية . . . .

وفي المرات القليلة التي حاولوا أن يتكلموا، أن يقولوا شيئاً، كان كلامهم قصيراً مبهماً.

I would have expected this:

إنها المرة الأولى التي تبدو لهم فيها الأماكن معادية . . . .

وفي المرات القليلة التي حاولوا فيها أن يتكلموا، أن يقولوا شيئاً، كان كلامهم قصيراً مبهماً.

Similarly, in Egyptian Colloquial Arabic, I often hear

أول مرة أشوفه.

instead of

أول مرة أشوفه فيها.

A search for المرة الأولى التي in the newspaper corpus on http://arabicorpus.byu.edu suggests that it is more common to use the resumptive pronoun, but there are also examples of sentences without it.

Does anyone know why this is?  I would be interested to hear the reactions of native speakers here: Do you feel that it sounds better or worse to include the resumptive pronoun in these sentences, or does it make no difference?

Also, does this only happen with مرة, or are there other sorts of sentences where resumptive pronouns are not used in relative clauses, contrary to what we are taught?  Is there something special about مرة?

Subject:2010 Arabic Census materials

As I hope you already know, Arabic was one of the 28 langauges in which the U.S. Census Bureau produced informational and promotional materials.  
 
If you would like to have some of these "authentic" materials to use in your classes for the next few years, please let me know (atvalerie.a.smith at census.gov) and I will arrange to have some remainder cases shipped to you - first come first served.  
 
You can see electronic files of these items at:
http://2010.census.gov/partners/materials/inlangfacts.php#arabic
 
Notes: 
General Fact Sheets - very few remaining
How People Are Counted Brochure - 400 per case
Awareness, Confidentiality, and Action Posters - 200 per case
Confidentiality Flier - printed locally as needed, so none left
Faith Based Leaders Promotional KIT - comprised of a folder containing: a letter from the Director of the Census to Faith Leaders, suggested messages to be included in newsletters, suggested announcements to be made by the faith leader, and one sample each of a tri-fold brochure and a bookmark appropriate for distribution to the membership of the faith-based organization / church / mosque etc. - 200 kits per case.
 
Also, FYI, the Arabic langauge 2010 Census web page is at:
http://2010.census.gov/2010census/language/arabic.php
I know there are a few errors there - I have informed HQ twice, but it hasn't been updated.
I'm not sure how long it will be staying up.  Some, but not all, of the printed materials listed above were vetted by Arabic speaking Partnership Specialists before they were printed.
 
 
Any questions about our outreach program, or about the census in general, I'd be glad to answer those too.
 
Looking forward to receiving your requests for our remaining printed materials!

Sincerely,

Dissertation Title: News on the Web in Arabic and English: A discourse analysis 
of CNN's websites 

Linguistic Field(s): Discourse Analysis

Subject Language(s): Arabic, Standard (arb)
                    English (eng)

Dissertation Abstract:

This research consists of an analysis of the news presented by the CNN
(Cable News Network) on its websites in Arabic and English. It is based on
the hypothesis that the CNN as a news producer modifies the news content
and presentation according to the audience it addresses. It is also assumed
that, as the Web has actually become an important source of news,
distinctive features of form and content are used, making web-news
different from other traditional types of news and requiring different
analytical tools. The research is interdisciplinary in nature. It is based
mainly in the field of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), with insights
from other disciplines, such as multimodal discourse analysis, functional
linguistics and translation studies. The analysed data consisted of stories
collected from both sites in Arabic and English during a one-month period,
as well as a users' questionnaire distributed and collected online. For the
purpose of triangulation, the analysis included multimodal, quantitative
and qualitative analyses of the collected websites stories and the
questionnaire data. The research concludes that the Web has become a major
news source for many people; the written material is more dominant compared
to other multimodal elements; the websites in question address each public
using a completely different discourse, i.e. using texts with different
linguistic, cultural and ideological implications; and that negative views
are widespread concerning CNN's reporting, reliability and balance. It also
emerges that news translation is rather a process of re-writing, providing
totally new products depending on different ideological positions.
Translation studies tools are not adequately designed for analysing this
type of text production and discourse analysis scholars have concentrated
more on monolingual texts than on cross-linguistic discourse. It is
therefore considered desirable and advisable to conduct further research
that looks into these questions and to develop a contrastive critical
discourse analysis approach for investigating them.

Hello all, 

Does anyone know of any reference that discusses the continuing decrease of using the dual forms in MSA and the reasons/alternatives for it? I am particularly interested in the dual forms of the demonstratives, but also any general study about the dual forms would be interesting for me.

Thanks a lot.

Subject:LDC Arabic Treebank

(1)  Arabic Treebank: Part 3 v 3.2 consists of 599 distinct newswire stories from the Lebanese publication An Nahar with part-of-speech (POS), morphology, gloss and syntactic treebank annotation in accordance with the Penn Arabic Treebank (PATB) Guidelines developed in 2008 and 2009. This release represents a significant revision of LDC's previous ATB3 publications: Arabic Treebank: Part 3 v 1.0 LDC2004T11 and Arabic Treebank: Part 3 (full corpus) v 2.0 (MPG + Syntactic Analysis LDC2005T20.

ATB3 v 3.2 contains a total of 339,710 tokens before clitics are split, and 402,291 tokens after clitics are separated for the treebank annotation. This release includes all files that were previously made available to the DARPA GALE program community (Arabic Treebank Part 3 - Version 3.1, LDC2008E22). A number of inconsistencies in the 3.1 release data have been corrected here. These include changes to certain POS tags with the resulting tree changes. As a result, additional clitics have been separated, and some previously incorrectly split tokens have now been merged.

One file from ATB3 v 2.0, ANN20020715.0063, has been removed from this corpus as that text is an exact duplicate of another file in this release (ANN20020715.0018). This reduces the number of files from 600 files in ATB3 v 2.0 to 599 files in ATB 3 v 3.2.

Arabic Treebank: Part 3 v 3.2 is distributed on one CD-ROM.

2010 Subscription Members will automatically receive two copies of this corpus.  2010 Standard Members may request a copy as part of their 16 free membership corpora. Non-members may license this data for US$4500.

2010 Summer Intensive Arabic Program
Brigham Young University

Brigham Young University (BYU) will offer first- and second-year intensive Arabic during its Summer term (June 21 - August 9). At BYU, we take an innovative approach to learning Arabic: students are exposed to the language as it is actually used in the Arab world. From the first day of class, students begin learning to speak Egyptian Arabic (the most widely understood Arabic dialect and one closely related to neighboring dialects such as urban Palestinian). Classes are highly interactive and one-on-one conversations with an Arab tutor, film evenings, soccer games, and cooking lessons are also an integral part of the experience. We are fortunate to have Ahmad Karout teaching our second-year program, which focuses on Modern Standard Arabic; however, students will continue to be exposed to Egyptian and Levantine Arabic in and outside of the classroom. Students enrolling in the second-year program should be comfortable with the skills, vocabulary, and structures taught up to and including lesson 15 in Al-Kitaab, vol. 1 (or the equivalent).

For more information on the program please look under "Summer Program" at:

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:nominal and adjectival suppletion in Semitic

I am currently working on a typological project on nominal and 
adjectival suppletion. I have read grammars for all the languages in question.

In addition to the typological study I would like to do a historical 
comparative study of the Semitic family. Consequently, I am looking for 
suppletive nouns and adjectives in all Semitic languages except 
Maltese, Hebrew, Standard Arabic, Moroccan Arabic, Iraqi Arabic and 
Egyptian Arabic since I already have data for these languages. 

If you are familiar with any other Semitic languages and know of the 
existence of any nominal or adjectival suppletive forms, any information 
you can share will be greatly appreciated. 

For the complete list of references used please have a look at:

Subject:needs help with Moroccan Arabic word list

I'm trying to put together a psycholinguistic experiment to examine  
morphological roots in Moroccan Arabic.    Putting together a list of  
appropriate stimuli is very challenging, so I could use some help in  
thinking of words to use.  I'd truly appreciate help from anyone  
familiar with Moroccan darija.

I need sets of three words each, meeting the following criteria:

-Words 1 and 2 must share the same root.

-Words 1 and 3 must share 3 letters/sounds, but NOT the same root.


A couple of examples :

1				2				3

khddiya			khda			dda
tijara 			ttajr 				jar



Right now I'm not being picky about any details other than that, since  
it is a challenge even to think of words meeting those two simple  
requirements.     If anyone can help out by thinking of a few sets,  
that would be great.   I am not a native speaker, and I'd never be  
able to come up with enough of them on my own.

Chokran bzzaf!

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.

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.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
 
 
SCHOLARSHIPS ANNOUNCED FOR STUDY IN EGYPT
April 26, 2010, (New York, NY) ?The American University in Cairo (AUC) has announced two scholarships available to U.S. students wishing to study abroad at AUC with concentrations in studies to advance understanding between the U.S. and the Arab world, or Egyptology.
 
The American University in Cairo (AUC) was founded 90 years ago and is major contributor to the social, political and cultural life of the Arab Region.  An independent, nonprofit, apolitical, non-sectarian and equal opportunity institution, AUC is fully accredited in Egypt and the United States.  It is a vital bridge between East and West, linking Egypt and the region to the world through scholarly research, partnerships with academic and research institutions, and study abroad programs.
 
The Hermann F. Eilts International Scholarship was named in tribute to Eilts, a former U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia and Egypt, and an AUC trustee.  Through diplomacy and education, Eilts worked tirelessly to bridge political divides and increase cultural understanding between the United States and the Arab world. Scholarship awards may be applied to tuition, fees and on-campus housing.  The scholarship is open to full-time undergraduate students currently enrolled in colleges and universities in the United States, who are already accepted to AUC?s study abroad program.  Additionally, they must have a 3.5 cumulative GPA and will be required to register for at least one political science, Middle East studies or history course during each semester of attendance at AUC.  To apply, students are asked to write a 1500 word essay on the following topic:  ?How will my experience at The American University in Cairo impact my future career plans and broaden my appreciation of Arab culture?? 
 
The Simpson Scholarship in Egyptology is a $2500.00 award for one semester to be used toward tuition or living expenses.  The scholarship is designed for students who wish to increase their knowledge and familiarity with ancient Egypt.  Students must enroll in at least three Egyptology courses. To apply, please send a 1500 word essay on the topic, ?Why I want to study Egyptology at AUC? and include a reference to three Egyptology courses for which you wish to register. 
 
Essays for both scholarships must be received in AUC?s New York office by May 15, 2010.  Applicants can e-mail essays to Wesley Clark at wclark at aucnyo.edu or mail them to The American University in Cairo, 420 Fifth Avenue, Third Floor, New York, New York, 10018-2729.

Hello all,

I'm wondering whether there is any research that you know of that looks 
at the change in emphasis in some words in modern dialects. For example, 
Stowasser and Ani's dictionary gives rakad (rather than rakaD as in 
other dialects) for 'to run' while 'to give water' is Sa2a not sa2a.

Shukran,
Alex

discuss the Afroasiatic language phylum. Now in its 39th year, NACAL has 
held annual meetings since 1973. Previous meetings have been held in 
Albuquerque, Ann Arbor, Austin, Baltimore, Boston, Cambridge, Chicago, 
Los Angeles, Nashville, New Haven, San Diego, Seattle, Toronto, and 
several other cities in the United States and Canada. 

Call For Papers

Dear Colleagues:

Papers are solicited for the 39th annual meeting of the North American 
Conference on Afroasiatic Linguistics (NACAL 39), which will be held at the 
University of Texas at Austin, Saturday, February 12th, 2011 and Sunday, 
February 13th, 2011.

Our keynote speaker for NACAL 39 will be Grover Hudson, Professor 
emeritus of the Department of Linguistics and Germanic, Slavic, Asian, and 
African Languages, at Michigan State University.

Papers are sought on linguistic topics relevant to the languages of the 
Afroasiatic phylum (Chadic, Berber, Cushitic, Omotic, Egyptian, Semitic). 
Topics relating to all aspects of Afroasiatic languages will be considered, 
particularly including phonology, morphology, syntax, comparative 
linguistics, sociolinguistics, and epigraphy. These topics should be 
considered as general guidelines and are not intended to be exclusive. No 
original paper will be rejected on account of its subject, as long as it relates 
to the languages of the Afroasiatic phylum and meets the scholarly 
standards established by previous conferences.

Abstracts describing the precise topic treated with a length of approximately 
200-300 words can be sent as an electronic version (pdf and MS Word 
document) to the addresses specified on the registration page on the

Subject:no resumptive pronoun with marra?

It's been puzzling me that in MSA and Egyptian Colloquial Arabic, in sentences with relative clauses that refer to the word ???, sometimes no resumptive pronoun (????) is used to refer back to ???.  For example, in ?????, the first volume of the novel ??? ????? by ??? ?????? ????, the narrator says (pp. 128-129 in the 2008 edition):

???? ????? ?????? ???? ???? ??? ??????? ?????? . . . .

??? ?????? ??????? ???? ?????? ?? ???????? ?? ?????? ?????? ??? ?????? ?????? ??????.

I would have expected this:

???? ????? ?????? ???? ???? ??? ???? ??????? ?????? . . . .

??? ?????? ??????? ???? ?????? ???? ?? ???????? ?? ?????? ?????? ??? ?????? ?????? ??????.

Similarly, in Egyptian Colloquial Arabic, I often hear

??? ??? ?????.

instead of

??? ??? ????? ????.

A search for ????? ?????? ???? in the newspaper corpus on http://arabicorpus.byu.edu suggests that it is more common to use the resumptive pronoun, but there are also examples of sentences without it.

Does anyone know why this is?  I would be interested to hear the reactions of native speakers here: Do you feel that it sounds better or worse to include the resumptive pronoun in these sentences, or does it make no difference?

Also, does this only happen with ???, or are there other sorts of sentences where resumptive pronouns are not used in relative clauses, contrary to what we are taught?  Is there something special about ????

Ben

Subject:2010 Arabic Census materials

As I hope you already know, Arabic was one of the 28 langauges in which the U.S. Census Bureau produced informational and promotional materials.  
 
If you would like to have some of these "authentic" materials to use in your classes for the next few years, please let me know (atvalerie.a.smith at census.gov) and I will arrange to have some remainder cases shipped to you - first come first served.  
 
You can see electronic files of these items at:
http://2010.census.gov/partners/materials/inlangfacts.php#arabic
 
Notes: 
General Fact Sheets - very few remaining
How People Are Counted Brochure - 400 per case
Awareness, Confidentiality, and Action Posters - 200 per case
Confidentiality Flier - printed locally as needed, so none left
Faith Based Leaders Promotional KIT - comprised of a folder containing: a letter from the Director of the Census to Faith Leaders, suggested messages to be included in newsletters, suggested announcements to be made by the faith leader, and one sample each of a tri-fold brochure and a bookmark appropriate for distribution to the membership of the faith-based organization / church / mosque etc. - 200 kits per case.
 
Also, FYI, the Arabic langauge 2010 Census web page is at:
http://2010.census.gov/2010census/language/arabic.php
I know there are a few errors there - I have informed HQ twice, but it hasn't been updated.
I'm not sure how long it will be staying up.  Some, but not all, of the printed materials listed above were vetted by Arabic speaking Partnership Specialists before they were printed.
 
 
Any questions about our outreach program, or about the census in general, I'd be glad to answer those too.
 
Looking forward to receiving your requests for our remaining printed materials!

Dissertation Title: News on the Web in Arabic and English: A discourse analysis 
of CNN's websites 

Linguistic Field(s): Discourse Analysis

Subject Language(s): Arabic, Standard (arb)
                    English (eng)


Dissertation Director(s):
Ruth Wodak

Dissertation Abstract:

This research consists of an analysis of the news presented by the CNN
(Cable News Network) on its websites in Arabic and English. It is based on
the hypothesis that the CNN as a news producer modifies the news content
and presentation according to the audience it addresses. It is also assumed
that, as the Web has actually become an important source of news,
distinctive features of form and content are used, making web-news
different from other traditional types of news and requiring different
analytical tools. The research is interdisciplinary in nature. It is based
mainly in the field of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), with insights
from other disciplines, such as multimodal discourse analysis, functional
linguistics and translation studies. The analysed data consisted of stories
collected from both sites in Arabic and English during a one-month period,
as well as a users' questionnaire distributed and collected online. For the
purpose of triangulation, the analysis included multimodal, quantitative
and qualitative analyses of the collected websites stories and the
questionnaire data. The research concludes that the Web has become a major
news source for many people; the written material is more dominant compared
to other multimodal elements; the websites in question address each public
using a completely different discourse, i.e. using texts with different
linguistic, cultural and ideological implications; and that negative views
are widespread concerning CNN's reporting, reliability and balance. It also
emerges that news translation is rather a process of re-writing, providing
totally new products depending on different ideological positions.
Translation studies tools are not adequately designed for analysing this
type of text production and discourse analysis scholars have concentrated
more on monolingual texts than on cross-linguistic discourse. It is
therefore considered desirable and advisable to conduct further research
that looks into these questions and to develop a contrastive critical
discourse analysis approach for investigating them.

Hello all, 

Does anyone know of any reference that discusses the continuing decrease of using the dual forms in MSA and the reasons/alternatives for it? I am particularly interested in the dual forms of the demonstratives, but also any general study about the dual forms would be interesting for me.

Thanks a lot.

Aims of the Course:
For the last three years, CASAW has developed an innovative Arabic programme blending traditional teaching with e-Learning technologies. We believe it is now the right time to share our unique experience with fellow language teachers in how you can integrate and use technology effectively to enhance your teaching practice.
This two day training programme will be delivered using a blended style of combining theory-based seminars with hands-on practical workshops
It is aimed at teachers with an interest in, but little experience of, technology-enhanced language education
The training will equip participants with the most essential ideas, practices and tools required for language teaching
It will also build participants? confidence, knowledge and creativity to inspire them to use technology to their advantage
Due to time restrictions, the programme will not go into great detail, but rather will be provided in short "bite-sized" chunks
