From: Shukri Abed <abedsb at whitman.edu>
Subject: Spoken Standard Arabic

I would like to announce the publication of a new book on teaching Spoken Standard Arabic.
 
Title:  
المَدْخَل إلى العَرَبِيَّة العَصْرِيَّة:  مُحادَثات بالعَرَبِيَّة الفَصيحَة
(Introduction to Spoken Standard Arabic-A conversation Course on DVD, Part 1).
 
Publisher: 
Yale University Press
 
Authors: 
Shukri Abed with Arwa Sawan
 
This textbook is designed to help beginning students of Arabic develop their oral communication skills. The target audience is those in the second and third semesters of college-level study (or the high-school equivalent). Early chapters of the book may also be used toward the end of the first semester with intensive preparation. Number of hours of instruction received per week and students’ general level of proficiency should be factored into an instructor’s decision about when to introduce this text. Mastery of the content of this volume would put students at the high- intermediate level (or even the low-advanced level) on the proficiency scale developed by the American Council of Teachers of Foreign Languages (ACTFL).
 
Sincerely yours, 
Professor Shukri Abed

Hello Mai ,
I thought of some names :
الصديق - صديق / المأمون - مأمون  / الحسن - حسن / الحسين - حسين / الأمين - أمين
 Generally ,there are some names ( as adjectives ) which were used may be in the generation before ours with alif lam and now the are used without it like : الشريف - السعيد - السيد - المرسي
 
 I hope this could be of any help ,

Indo-European Language Transcription Database - Request For Collaboration/Help To Create It
 
Assalamu Alaikum, Salaam, Hello All,
 
My name is Joel Shapiro.  I am a long time subscriber to the Arabic-L forum and infrequent poster
to it.
 
In the past few years I have developed some unique language tools; utilities and applications;
transcription veracity verification currently only "tooled" for Arabic and most recently and
my current focus a utility to search in all native language character sets or alphabets present
on the Internet to an unprecedented degree of precision, accuracy, flexibility and
"seamlessness". 
 
My forte is Semitic languages and to a lesser extent but the same genre or "ballpark" Indo-European
(i.e. -as you know- Pashto, Farsi/Dari, Urdu, Khowar etc.)
 
Following is a note I posted to one Urdu speaking source but I have not received any further
response.
 
To date I've found it very hard to find it very hard to find and then contact Indo-European speakers
or experts and what English <---> Indo-European dictionaries or translations listings that I've found
online are primarily "regular" words and proportionally very few phonetic transcriptions which is my
objective.
 
Google indeed does have an impressive "transcription engine" for a host of what I personally term
"estoteric languages";  those which are just beginning to have a substantial presence on the Internet:
 
http://www.google.com/transliterate
 
One of the language options is Persian (i.e. Farsi/Dari) which of course uses the extended Arabic
character set, but not to the extent of Pashto and Urdu where instances of "Arabic characters with
rings" become prevalent.  I think of it as an "extended extended" Arabic character set use.
 
Those of you reading this versed in Pashto and/or Urdu know or recognize exactly what I'm
referring to here.
 
My search utility is especially "tuned" or my programming infrastructure is all in place for such
fine, subtle distinctions.
 
You have my word I will act as a clearinghouse for your verified, attested transcriptions and
I intend to post the (hopefully) ongoing, ever-growing database from all contributors that I
strongly contend is useful in own right for (your) manual native text searches ... sans my
utility.
 
I vigorously contend robust transcription databases can be tremendously helpful in many
circumstances and contexts although at first glance it may not appear so.

Sta na shukria, Tashakkur, Shukriya, Thank you all for your interest and consideration.
 
Joel S.
 
 
 
Assalamu Alaikum *******: Perhaps my work can help your fellow countrymen ...

I just left a voicemail to you where I stated I was going to send you an E-mail describing my
specialized multilingual work that may be useful for helping out in the dire situation in Pakistan
for gleaning information, finding where it is lacking and perhaps most important of all correcting
things that are incorrect.  e.g. medical information, dosages etc.

My forte is the subtleties and nuances of phonetics and transcriptions of Semitic and Indo-European
languages which directly applies to the very high precision searches and "Internet scraping" I can
perform with the Python programming application or utility I have developed ... completely on my own.

It functions better than I ever anticipated it would when I started working on it for almost a year now.
 
Where my conversational expertise is Hebrew I'd say on an intermediate level, I am very familiar with
hundreds of Arabic words and many basic sayings, greetings etc.  However, from a spelling respect,
I feel confident declaring my expertise is on on par or in many contexts native Arabic and Farsi
speakers.

My search utility is a "local" application (i.e. it just resides on my computer).  The background
programming for it is far too complex to convert it to a web page as simply web tools don't have
the comprehensive esoteric "ingredients" I need as does Python.

Without going into detail and specifics I have thrown the "kitchen sink" into my application where
I understand Farsi and Pashto uses an extended Arabic character set and very subtle differences
in spelling and characters used within Arabic and Farsi and subtle differences between the
languages make all the difference in the world.

You can see a good example of my work on my Arabic transcription veracity verification web page:

http://enartrans.com
http://enartrans.com/transcription

and my datasets; the end result of my utility processing:

http://infochimps.org/datasets/arabic-internet-footprint-of-the-brookings-institute-middle-east

Attached are a couple posts I made to a couple other sources in the same regard or genre.

My inclination or objective is to perhaps glean information unlike anyone else that could be
instrumental in saving some lives but here with the flooding the scope is orders of magnitude
greater.

All the specialized language programming and experience I have is directly applicable.  I could
start doing specialized searches with regard to this humanitarian crisis straight away.

My thinking is I would/could devote some extensive searching for free; gratis with the caveat it
would reference my work where it would be on a for pay or fee basis.  I think it would be great
free advertising all the while doing something beneficial.

I was wondering if you have been approached in light of this crisis for your lingual and intellectual
abilities and if you have any ideas, references or suggestions for me.

From the work I have developed I really feel I have become apolitical.  I just want to make it a
better place and provide for my family like anybody else.  If anything else I just want to extend
to you my sympathy and condolences to you for people you knew that have died or are in
dire straits.

I welcome and look forward to hearing from you.

-Salam,

Joel S.

I run the website www.naturalarabic.com , which teaches Arabic through newspaper stories.
 
We have just introduced a search facility (at the top of our web page) which searches our database of articles, totalling around 50,000 words, and returns the word in context, with both a translation and transliteration. You can input searches in Arabic, English or transliteration.
 
I hope this will be of interest to Arabic-L subscribers.

Subject: CFP Reminder: Jīl Jadīd Graduate Student Conference in Arabic Studies: Deadline November

Call for Papers: Jīl Jadīd @ UT
Dates: February 18-20, 2011

Location: The University of Texas at Austin

Abstract deadline: November 1, 2010

Topic: Arabic Literature and Linguistics

Contact: jiljadidconf at gmail.com

Introduction:

The University of Texas’ Department of and Center for Middle Eastern Studies, are pleased to announce that they will host the Jīl Jadīd Conference, a graduate student conference in Arabic Literature and Linguistics, to be held at the University of Texas – Austin, February 18-20, 2011.

This current generation of graduate students represents one of the largest groups of scholars all working together on Arabic in over a century. The purpose of this conference is to bring together students scattered across areas studies, linguistics, comparative literature and other departments in order to facilitate an open and productive exchange of new ideas, and to build collaborative networks that will last well after we finish our graduate education. By coming together to compare our approaches and methods, as well as our innovative research, we can help set the tone for Arabic studies as we move further into the twenty-first century.

In order to foster productive and fruitful dialogue, this conference will take an innovative approach to presentations. Papers will be grouped into panels of three to four presenters which will combine short presentations with in-depth discussions. Each panel will be led by a moderator tasked with facilitating and directing discussion.

Submitters who are accepted will be asked to provide a 2-3 page summary of their papers at least two weeks prior to the conference, so that attendees may read these summaries and more time can be devoted to discussion than presentation.  Presenters will be given fifteen (15) minutes of presentation time, followed by another fifteen (15) minutes of time for discussion. Presenters will be encouraged to use the presentation time to expand on their summaries and then to suggest topics or questions for discussion.

Professors Devin Stewart and Wail Hassan will be giving keynote speeches in linguistics and literature respectively, while career development workshops will also be offered. 
Topics:

All papers on Arabic literature and linguistics will gladly be considered, but we especially encourage submissions on the following topics:

*        Beyond diglossia: New approaches to variation in Arabic

*        Bringing data to bear: Empirical approaches to Arabic pedagogy and SLA

*        Socio-cultural approaches to the acquisition of Arabic

*        Asking new questions about old literature

*        Literature across Arabic Registers

*        Arabic literature in new diasporas

*        Arabic Literature, Linguistics and Pedagogy in the Internet Age

Papers which will be also presented at other conferences such as ALS and ACLA are welcome, as we hope to provide a forum for students to further develop and refine their research. 

Abstracts:  

Applicants may submit abstracts of no more than 400 words, not including references, in PDF format with fonts embedded. Abstracts can be submitted via the following website:

http://linguistlist.org/confcustom/JilJadidUT/

The deadline for abstracts is November  1, 2010. Abstracts should not include identifying information, *however you must indicate the highest degree you have obtained and your current position (e.g. "Graduate Student," "Assistant Professor", etc.).*
Travel Funding:

We are well aware of the financial restrictions facing graduate students, and therefore a large part of the conference budget will be devoted to providing financial assistance for travel expenses for those who are unable to obtain sufficient funding from their departments. Priority will be given to attendees with accepted papers, but others are encouraged to apply. Details of the application procedure will be made available following the application deadline. Applicants who will be outside of the US at the time of the conference are encouraged to submit, and will be able to present their papers and participate in discussions in person or via internet video-chat.

Conference fees:

A fee of $30US will be required of all attendees. Checks can be submitted to the following address, and should be made out to the University of Texas, with “Jil Jadid” in the memo section:

Try this: http://www.almeshkat.net/books/index.php

It is not necessarily a source for 19th/early 20th century materials, but it does have many many text-based (therefore searchable) materials in writings from the long course of Islamic civilization, some of them indeed from the 19th and 20th centuries (and of course much earlier centuries as well). You once mentioned to me a peculiar term, "site sucker." By the sound of it, such a tool would come useful for a resource such as this one.

ٌI also have an article in pdf format, provided to me by list member Benjamin Geer discussing the word ثقافة and its acquisition of the meaning "culture" toward the beginning of the 20th cent. Now that I look at it, I don't have a citation! But Ben could perhaps provide it?

As A-L doesn't accept attachments, I am sending it to you by separate cover. 

I'd be happy to provide it to any other member.

There are lots of texts electronically available –I find particular works by doing Google search.  Sibawayh’s Kitaab in MS Word was a particularly spectacular find—a searchable Kitaab!  The site that it is on is
http://www.almeshkat.net/books/index.php
 
My sense is that even though these are “turaath” sites they do have some nahDa era things—by searching author on Meshkat for Tahtawi I found this:
http://www.almeshkat.net/books/search.php?do=all&u=%C7%E1%D8%E5%D8%C7%E6%ED
 
Here is the link to al-Jabarti’s 3ajaa’ib al-aathaar:
http://www.almeshkat.net/books/search.php?do=all&u=%C7%E1%CC%C8%D1%CA%ED
 
and here is another site that I know has Arabic texts because I have found them from Google search links—but I can’t figure out how to find things on it myself yet.

Title: An Analysis of Code switching in Conversations among Multilingual
Nigerian (Shuwa) Arabs in Maiduguri, Nigeria 
Series Title: LINCOM Studies in Communication  06  

Publication Year: 2010 
Publisher: Lincom GmbH
	   http://www.lincom.eu
	
Author: Jidda Hassan Juma'a

Paperback: ISBN:  9783862880089 Pages: 160 Price: Europe EURO 62.80


Abstract:

This book discusses Nigerian (Shuwa) Arab history, demography and social
life pattern in Maiduguri. It describes codeswitching conversation among
Shuwa Arabs in Maiduguri, by identifying English (E) and Standard Arabic
(SA) lexical insertions used in Nigerian (Shuwa) Arabic (NA), Hausa (H) and
Kanuri (K) languages in codeswitching discourse. Our analysis to the
codeswitching corpus, shows integrations at different linguistic levels;
While (SA) phonological system, show complete integrations into Nigerian
Arabic phonology, English lexical items maintain their normative phonology
in the data, but some considerable examples from data violate English
phonological norms. At the morpho-phonological level, both (SA) and (E)
lexical insertions used in the codeswitching data completely integrate into
the Nigerian Arabic morph-phonological rule of stress and affixes. The zero
marked (uninflected) insertions in their word class or category, integrate
into Nigerian Arabic and Hausa Matrix languages, whose functional morpheme
elements form the constituent structure occupied by the inserted lexical
items. The study thus, revealed that, while (SA) lexical insertions show
complete integration at all levels (Phonology, morphology, syntax), the
English ones show integrations at the morpho-syntactic level, and a partial
integration at the phonological level.

Jidda Hassan Juma'a holds a doctorate degree in General Linguistics from
University of Maiduguri. He is a senior lecturer in the department of
languages and linguistics at University of Maiduguri.

Hi,
I’m looking for all versions and ports of BAMA or SAMA.
 
I am aware of java port by Pierrick Brihaye and a “fastcgi” version with a database interface on sourceforge.net posted by someone with the user ID of jonsafari.
 
Is anybody aware of any other ports of AraMorph, Buckwalter Arabic Morphology Analyzer or Standard Arabic Morphology Analyzer?
Regards,

Dear All,

If you have any knowledge of qualitative data analysis software for Arabic, please reply to irfana00 at gmail.com

I am looking to invest in a good qualitative data analysis software that supports Arabic.  So far, I had the best reviews of NVivo but it doesn't fully support Arabic.  Does anyone have any suggestions about other software that might be useful.  I am mainly looking for something that will handle all kinds of material (documents, media files, pictures, personal notes), and sort, classify, and code bits of texts (instead of just text files). Thank you for the help.

Note that this is a port of Version 1. (I've got a port of BAMA
Version 2.0 as well, but I have not uploaded it because there are
still a few bugs I haven't gotten around to fixing. Also, unlike
Version 1, I cannot include the lexicons since BAMA Version 2 is not

Subject: Journal CFP:Experimental Approaches to Mutual Intelligibility

I came across this on Linguistlist and it seemed relevant to Arabic:

Journal: Linguistics

Call Deadline: 15-Nov-2010

Call Information:
Experimental Approaches to Mutual Intelligibility of Closely Related
Languages
Guest Editors: Charlotte Gooskens, Nanna Haug Hilton, Anja Schüppert

Communication across language borders mostly takes place in lingua
francas. In some regions, however, it is more likely that people will
communicate with each other using their native languages. Speakers
communicating this way are receptively bilingual, meaning that they can
understand closely related languages without being able to speak them
actively. Some well-documented language areas in Europe where receptive
multilingualism has been documented include Scandinavia, the Iberian
Peninsula, Finland/Estonia, Slovakia/Czech Republic and the Benelux.
Outside Europe, among others, mutual intelligibility between Afrikaans and
Dutch, Hindi and Urdu and Kalabari and Nembe (Nigeria) have been
investigated and numerous other cases of receptive multilingualism are
known.
Linguistic as well as non-linguistic factors determine the success and the
fluency of mutual intelligibility. Speakers of languages with a large phonetic
distance, for example, frequently encounter more problems when
communicating in their native languages than speakers whose native
languages are phonetically closer. Furthermore, prosodic, syntactic, and
lexical differences have an impact on the degree of receptive multilingualism
of the listeners. Non-linguistic factors that may play a role are attitudes
towards the neighbouring language or culture, or the amount of contact. The
existence of negative attitudes or social stigmas attached to languages is
often seen as a potential obstruction for successful intergroup communication
while previous contact with a language enhances the chance of successful
communication.
For some language pairs, consistent asymmetries in mutual intelligibility have
been reported. These asymmetries have often been explained by means of
non-linguistic determinants. However, there is evidence that also linguistic
factors may cause asymmetrical intelligibility.

We invite papers for a special issue in Linguistics employing experimental
methods to investigate receptive multilingualism from all language families.
Topics include, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- linguistic determinants of mutual intelligibility (such as prosodic,
phonetic, morpho-syntactic and lexical features)
- non-linguistic determinants of mutual intelligibility (such as language
attitudes and language contact)
- asymmetries in mutual intelligibility
- new methods for measuring intelligibility

Abstracts should be approximately 700 words and may be submitted by 15
November 2010 to a.schueppert at rug.nl.

Subject: Needs list of programs with degrees in Arabic Lit and lang

I’m working on a project dealing with the teaching of Arabic language and literature in the United States. Do you know of any directory or list of programs/ departments that offer the degrees cited above in Arabic? Modern Arabic Literature? Classical Arabic Literature etc..? I have found AATAWEB to be of no help apart from listing scores of colleges and universities( instead of departments or programs) where Arabic is taught.
 
I would appreciate any suggestion or information you may have.
 
Best wishes.

I am pleased to announce the publication of a new book pertinent to human language technologies:

Introduction to Arabic Natural Language Processing
Nizar Y. Habash
2010

Abstract  
This book provides system developers and researchers in natural language processing and computational linguistics with the necessary background information for working with the Arabic language. The goal is to introduce Arabic linguistic phenomena and review the state-of-the-art in Arabic processing. The book discusses Arabic script, phonology, orthography, morphology, syntax and semantics, with a final chapter on machine translation issues. The chapter sizes correspond more or less to what is linguistically distinctive about Arabic, with morphology getting the lion's share, followed by Arabic script. No previous knowledge of Arabic is needed. This book is designed for computer scientists and linguists alike. The focus of the book is on Modern Standard Arabic; however, notes on practical issues related to Arabic dialects and languages written in the Arabic script are presented in different chapters.
Table of Contents: What is "Arabic"? / Arabic Script / Arabic Phonology and Orthography / Arabic Morphology / Computational Morphology Tasks / Arabic Syntax / A Note on Arabic Semantics / A Note on Arabic and Machine Translation

This title is available online free of charge to members of institutions that that have licensed the Synthesis Digital Library of Engineering and Computer Science.

Subject: Wants to do degree in Ancient South Arabian in US

Hi, 
my question is a bit off topic as my field of research is Ancient South Arabian language and culture. I'd like to do some applications for this subject in American universities. 
Do you know of any web site, directory or list of programs/ departments that offer degrees in Ancient Near Est studies?
 
I would appreciate any suggestion or information you may have.

Best regards,

Alessia Prioletta

Dear Salih,
 
I am interested in finding out the results of your research.  I have been looking for a list of Universities that offer a major in Arabic Studies/Literature/Teaching or any concentration in Arabic Language and Culture.  I would appreciate you sharing it if you are able to generate it.
 
To start with, we offer a Bachelors in Arabic Studies at DePaul University which includes advanced literature courses taught in Arabic and a literature in translation course where text is provided in Arabic and English. 
 
Good luck on your research.

Subject: New Book:Islamist Rhetoric

Dear colleagues, 
Routledge has just published my monograph Islamist Rhetoric: Language and culture in contemporary Egypt. This book combines functional grammar (in the Halliday tradition) with sociology and rhetorical theory in order to analyze the rhetoric of prominent Islamist intellectuals in Egypt. Here is a short summary of the book, and the link to Routledge. I hope it may be of use to some of you. If anyone has queries about the book, I would be happy to answer your questions: mail to jah at fafo.no.

"Islamism in Egypt is more diversified in terms of its sociology and ideology than is usually assumed. Through linguistic analysis of Islamist rhetoric, this book sheds light upon attitudes towards other Muslims, religious authority and secular society.
Examining the rhetoric of three central Islamist figures in Egypt today - Yusuf al-Qaradawi, Amr Khalid and Muhammad Imara - the author investigates the connection between Islamist rhetoric and the social and political structures of the Islamic field in Egypt. Highlighting the diversity of Islamist rhetoric, the author argues that differences of form disclose sociological and ideological tensions. Grounded in Systemic Functional Grammar, the book explores three linguistic areas in detail: pronoun use, mood choices and configurations of processes and participants. The author explores how the writers relate to their readers and how they construe concepts that are central in the current Islamic revival, such as ‘Islamic thought’, ‘Muslims’, and ‘the West’.

Introducing an alternative divide in Egyptian public debate - between text cultures rather than ideologies - this book approaches the topic of Islamism from a unique analytical perspective, offering an important addition to the existing literature in the areas of Middle Eastern society and politics, Arabic language and religious studies."

Offre de postdoc à France Telecom Orange Labs dans le domaine de la
recherche d’information cross-lingue (CLIR).
 
Lieu : France Telecom Orange Labs à Lannion (Bretagne).
Date : dès que possible en fin 2010.
Durée : 12 mois.
 
Sujet du postdoc :
Approches hybrides de traitement des requêtes pour la recherche d'information cross-lingue
 
Contexte de recherche :
Certains choix techniques ou méthodologiques en recherche d'information multilingue
n'ont pas encore atteint un niveau de consensus. Par exemple, il n'est pas trivial
d'opter pour la traduction des requêtes ou la traduction des contenus. Toutefois,
il nous semble d'ores et déjà acceptable que la traduction des contenus est plus
optimale lorsque la quantité d'informations à indexer ainsi que le nombre de langues
concernées ne sont pas très élevés. Dans le cas contraire, la traduction préalable
de tous les contenus indexés dans toutes les langues peut poser de réels problèmes d'économie.
En effet, une petite partie seulement des informations traduites pourrait être réellement exploitée.
 
Activité du postdoc :
Cette activité s’inscrit dans le cadre d’un projet de R&D dans le domaine de la recherche
d’information multimédia et multilingue. Il est proposé d'explorer, mettre en oeuvre
et évaluer une ou des méthodes hybrides pour le traitement des requêtes en vue d'une recherche cross-lingue.
Contrairement à une traduction brute de la requête, qui peut échouer compte tenu
de sa pauvreté syntaxique et contextuelle, ce travail consiste à explorer différentes
approches dont la combinaison permettrait d'effectuer des pré-traitements ou des
post-traitements moins systématiques et mieux réfléchis sur les requêtes :
- Identification dans le requête des composants invariants, traduisibles, translitérables, etc.
- Prise en compte de scores de confiance et post-édition de la traduction automatique.
- Exploitation de ressources linguistiques : Wikipédia, entités nommées, lexiques multilingues, thésaurus, etc.
- Utilisation de l'expansion de requêtes pour la compensation de la couverture lexicale issue de la traduction.
- Choix et usage de techniques appropriées de traduction pour les différents composants de la requête.
- Etc.
 
Profil recherché :
- Doctorat en informatique ou en linguistique, ayant été soutenu de préférence depuis moins de 18 mois.
- Bonnes connaissances en TALN et des différentes approches en traduction automatique.
- Connaissances en recherche d’information et en CLIR.
- Maîtrise de Linux, Python ou Java, langage de script (bash), C++ serait un plus.
- Langues : français et anglais (la connaissance d'autres langues serait un atout).
- Motivation pour la R&D dans un milieu industriel.

FACULTY POSITION
Arabic Literature
NYU ABU DHABI

New York University Abu Dhabi seeks to appoint a leading scholar at the
level of associate or full professor in the field of Arabic Literature.
Experienced junior scholars may also be considered. The successful candidate
will have the opportunity to play an integral role in fashioning a complete
international research university oriented around the liberal arts. We are
looking for a literary scholar who maintains an active agenda of research,
has substantial publication, and has demonstrated commitment to
undergraduate teaching.

Members of NYU Abu Dhabi’s standing faculty receive generous support for
research and travel.  The teaching load is three undergraduate courses per
year (semester system), including at least one in the core curriculum. Other
terms of employment are competitive compared to U.S. benchmarks and include
housing and educational subsidies for children. Standing faculty members are
affiliated with relevant departments at NYU in New York. They typically
begin their appointments with a year of reduced teaching at NYU’s Washington
Square campus. Thereafter, they will have the opportunity to spend semesters
at NYU in New York or at other campuses within NYU’s global network. The
appointment may begin as soon as September 1, 2011 but could be delayed
until September 1, 2012. 

Situated at a new global crossroads, NYU Abu Dhabi is integrally connected
to NYU New York. The faculties collaborate across the two campuses, which
form the foundation of a unique global network university and are linked to
NYU’s other study and research sites on five continents. 

Alongside its highly selective liberal arts college, NYU Abu Dhabi is
creating distinctive graduate programs and a world-class institute for
advanced research that fosters creative work across the Arts, Humanities,
Social Sciences, Sciences, and Engineering. The international character of
NYUAD is reflected in the global composition of the faculty and the student
body as well as the research agenda and curriculum, which have been designed
to promote inventiveness, intellectual curiosity, multidisciplinary
interest, and intercultural understanding.

Review of applications will begin on December 1, 2010 and will continue
until the position is filled. Letters of application should be uploaded in
PDF format to our website at
http://nyuad.nyu.edu/human.resources/open.positions.html and addressed to
Professor Jacques Lezra, Chair, Department of Comparative Literature, New
York University, New York, NY 10003.  Candidates should also submit a
curriculum vitae and a statement of research and teaching interests. Junior

Subject: Needs Summer intensive Arabic Study Abroad Program

I wonder if you can please post to the listserv the following query: I am a graduate student hoping to study intensive Arabic next summer (2011) in an Arabic/Middle Eastern/North African country. Can anyone recommend a summer-long intensive Arabic language program emphasizing speaking, listening, reading, and writing?
 
Thank you,

Dear all,

Hoping this email finds you all well. I'm Arabic Information Retrieval Systems researcher and i'm caring about evaluating Arabic search engines comparing with the global one, considering the Arabic characteristics (morphology, grammar, lexicon and semantics). I'm asking if there any free scholarship or working project which promote my interest to join in?

The Arabic Language Across the Ages, by Nader Al Jallad

This volume, which is based on a conference held in Cordoba, brings together scholars studying texts, Arabic-related registers, and dialects belonging to different periods and areas throughout the centuries from a philological and linguistic perspective. The outcome is a significant contribution to the investigation of geographical and diachronic criteria used to facilitate the analysis of both old and present linguistic entities.

Do we have a standard term in Arabic for "grammatic(al)ization"?

In his excellent book, نظريات لسانية عرفنية (Naẓariyyāt Lisāniyya ʿArfaniyya), الأزهر الزناد (Al-ʾAzhar al-Zannād) translates this term (very elegantly, I think) as إنحاء (inḥāʾ).  The book also contains ingenious translations of many other terms used in Cognitive Linguistics.  You can find it here:

Dear 
This process  is not applicable in Arabic language ; since any new grammatical change in the Arabic is not acceptable. This may be obviously seen in the English language. 
Both  sound  and grammatical systems  are considered like the  backbone of language. Any  change in these two systems  may expose the language to split. This is what the English language is facing now >
However I can suggest the term  قابلية التقعيد   for this concept

The most appropriate Arabic equivalent for "grammaticalization" is intiHaa'. Ramzi Baalbaki uses the same term in his Dictionary of Linguistic Terms (English-Arabic).

Subject: Studies on MSA Development

The question is usually turned on its ear and posed "how did the dialects develop"?

Neither that question nor yours is by any means settled.

By MSA do you mean the current manifestations of the writing system? Or do you simply mean written Arabic as it has persisted over the centuries?

For that, you might look at this piece that I have just assigned to my seminar students:

C. Rabin The Beginnings of Classical Arabic. Studia Islamica, No. 4 (1955), pp. 19-37

For a detailed look at many of the issues, you might consider chapter 3 (The Classical Arabiya as the Language of an Oral Poetry) in  

M. Zwettler 1978. The Oral Tradition of Classical Arabic Poetry:  Its character and implications.  Columbus:  Ohio State University Press

Then you can read the German and French writers that those two authors cite!

There are also chapters about the origins and development of Classical Arabic and Modern Standard Arabic in Versteegh, C. H. M. 1997.The Arabic language. New York: Columbia University Press

Subject: Summer Intensive Arabic Study Abroad programs

Matt,

To the best of my knowledge, all intensive summer Arabic language programs emphasize speaking, listening, reading, and writing. 

There are summer programs sprouting up all over the Arab world. That being so, you have something of a luxury of choice. My advice to anyone learning Arabic is not to neglect the study of one of the spoken Arabic vernaculars. (Perhaps that is what you mean by asking for programs emphasizing speaking? With the institutional bias towards so-called Modern Standard Arabic, which is not a native spoken vernacular of anyone anywhere, your query may be more apropos than you had imagined). The study-abroad experience is the ideal time in which to engage a spoken vernacular, so the deciding consideration to students such as yourself should then be what part of the Arab world interests them or in which they imagine themselves working in their careers. That is the local vernacular they should choose. 

With the wide choices now available, you should investigate such programs as offer the spoken variety of Arabic indigenous to the part of the Arab world that interests you the most. As I say, there are many now available. For starters, check the homepage of the American Association of Teachers of Arabic. I happen to collect all the announcements I see (or most of them) so if you wish to send me a message telling me which spoken Arabic vernacular interests you the most, I may be able to suggest a program to you.

I should mention is that we have a six-week intensive summer program at the American University of Beirut in which we are paying more and more attention to spoken Lebanese Arabic. As of last year, students received one and a half hours a day of Lebanese Arabic to start the morning, and then went on to another five hours of written Arabic. There is some talk of a pure spoken Lebanese option, but I wouldn't count on that until it is actually announced. Part of the problem is a sheer lack of a sufficient quantity of appropriate teaching materials (as exists for Egyptian Arabic). 

The program is offered through the Center for Arab and Middle Eastern Studies (CAMES). Information may be found on their webpage: http://www.aub.edu.lb/fas/cames/Pages/index.aspx    

Applications are through the CAMES office, not the AUB office of admissions; the form should be available next month. 

Even though the summer weather is hot (about 34 C) and sticky (80% relative humidity), students love Beirut. The nights, I hear, are different from the days.

This summer, Fulbright junior scholars commenced their total immersion program at Hedayet Institute witnessing the holy month of Ramadan in Egypt.
Describing his experience in Ramadan, Mathew Parnell - one of the Fulbright scholars and a PhD Student at Arkansas University - said “being part of several Iftars and the unique warmth of the Egyptian family gatherings is what makes this cultural experience one of a kind”.

Dear Colleagues,

Salaams and greetings. We are happy to announce that we will be hosting a seminar at the annual conference for the American Comparative Literature Association (ACLA) in Vancouver, B.C. March 31 to April 3.

The theme of the conference is "World Literature, Comparative Literature."

The title of our seminar is "Mahfouz at 100: The Arabic Novel and the Changing World." The idea behind this seminar is to generate discussion about the Arabic novel, its historical role and its place within world literature while keeping in mind Mahfouz's legacy. That said, papers need not focus on Mahfouz. Topics may include but are not limited to: politics of the novel and the novel in politics, writing the diaspora, narratives of social struggle, the evolution of the Arabic novel and critical literary scholarship in Arabic studies, and issues in translation and cultural communication. Papers that keep in mind a comparative mode of analysis are especially welcome. Please take a look at the seminar description and consider joining us this Spring in beautiful Vancouver, B.C.

THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION IS NOVEMBER 12.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE SEMINAR CAN BE FOUND AT:
http://www.acla.org/acla2011/

25th Arabic Linguistics Symposium
University of Arizona, Tucson
March 4-6, 2011

The Arabic Linguistics Society and University of Arizona are pleased to announce the 25th Arabic Linguistics Symposium to be held at the University of Arizona, Tucson, March 4-6, 2011.

Papers are invited on topics that deal with theoretic and applied issues of Arabic Linguistics. Research in the following areas of Arabic linguistics is encouraged: linguistic analysis (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics), applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, discourse analysis, historical linguistics, corpus linguistics, computational linguistics, etc.

Special Session: Experimental and field method approaches to Arabic dialect analysis
Until recently, contemporary linguistic theories have been developed and tested, for ideological or expeditious reasons,  based on research conducted using data drawn primarily from Classical, Media  or Literary Arabic;  a written language with no native speakers. This partiality to Standard/Classical Arabic coupled with generative theory-internal approaches to secondary dialectal data analysis yielded a great void in linguistic research employing experimental and field method approaches based on primary data. This special session aims to celebrate the richness and diversity of regional Arabic, as well as the variety of methodological approaches to primary data collection. The session invites papers on any aspect of Arabic dialect analysis, including gender or ethnic based variation, processing, acquisition, revitalization of endangered varieties, dialect typology, corpus linguistics, forensic linguistics, and clinical linguistics.

Keynote Speaker: Dr. Sabah M.Z. Safi, King Abdulaziz University


Persons interested in presenting papers are requested to submit a one-page abstract giving the title of the paper, a brief statement of the topic, and a summary clearly stating how the topic will be developed (the reasoning, data, and experimental results to be presented). Authors are requested to be as specific as possible in describing their topics. Abstracts should be submitted by e-mail as pdf attachments (all fonts embedded) to:

mustafa.mughazy at wmich.edu<mailto:mustafa.mughazy at wmich.edu>

Authors’ names are not to appear anywhere in the abstracts. Instead, the author’s name, email address, postal address, and phone number should be included in the body of the email message. Please specify if the abstract is for the general or specific session.

Twenty minutes will be allowed for each presentation followed by ten minutes for discussion.

Deadline for Receipt of Abstracts: November 1, 2010
Registration:
All registrations must include a $25 ALS membership fee in addition to:
Before February 1, 2011: 35 for students and 50 for non-students.
After February 1, 2011: 45 for students and 60 for non-students.

For those who don’t want to do the math, this means your check should be $60 for students, and $75 for non-students before Feb. 1, 2011, an $70 for students and $85 for non-students after Feb. 1, 2011.  ALS membership dues are non-refundable.  Conference fees are refundable only for those whose abstracts were not accepted.

Hi Eric,
 
I saw your inquiry for a summer intensive Arabic program on the Arabic-L listserv.  I am the Syria Program Manager at CET Academic Programs, a study abroad company based in Washington, DC.  We launched an Intensive Arabic Language & Culture Studies program this past summer and I strongly recommend you take a look at our program in Aleppo, Syria as an option for your language studies in Summer 2011.  Our application deadline for the summer program is March 1st. You can also take a look at our blog to see what some of our students had to say about their experiences in Aleppo:  http://cetacademicprograms.wordpress.com/?s=Aleppo
 
If you have any questions about the program or studying in Aleppo, please do not hesitate to give me a call or send me an email.
 
Best,
 
Kala

Subject: Spoken Standard Arabic

I would like to announce the publication of a new book on teaching Spoken Standard Arabic.
 
Title:  
????????? ??? ???????????? ????????????:  ????????? ????????????? ?????????
(Introduction to Spoken Standard Arabic-A conversation Course on DVD, Part 1).
 
Publisher: 
Yale University Press
 
Authors: 
Shukri Abed with Arwa Sawan
 
This textbook is designed to help beginning students of Arabic develop their oral communication skills. The target audience is those in the second and third semesters of college-level study (or the high-school equivalent). Early chapters of the book may also be used toward the end of the first semester with intensive preparation. Number of hours of instruction received per week and students? general level of proficiency should be factored into an instructor?s decision about when to introduce this text. Mastery of the content of this volume would put students at the high- intermediate level (or even the low-advanced level) on the proficiency scale developed by the American Council of Teachers of Foreign Languages (ACTFL).
 
Sincerely yours, 
Professor Shukri Abed

Indo-European Language Transcription Database - Request For Collaboration/Help To Create It
 
Assalamu Alaikum, Salaam, Hello All,
 
My name is Joel Shapiro.  I am a long time subscriber to the Arabic-L forum and infrequent poster
to it.
 
In the past few years I have developed some unique language tools; utilities and applications;
transcription veracity verification currently only "tooled" for Arabic and most recently and
my current focus a utility to search in all native language character sets or alphabets present
on the Internet to an unprecedented degree of precision, accuracy, flexibility and
"seamlessness". 
 
My forte is Semitic languages and to a lesser extent but the same genre or "ballpark" Indo-European
(i.e. -as you know- Pashto, Farsi/Dari, Urdu, Khowar etc.)
 
Following is a note I posted to one Urdu speaking source but I have not received any further
response.
 
To date I've found it very hard to find it very hard to find and then contact Indo-European speakers
or experts and what English <---> Indo-European dictionaries or translations listings that I've found
online are primarily "regular" words and proportionally very few phonetic transcriptions which is my
objective.
 
Google indeed does have an impressive "transcription engine" for a host of what I personally term
"estoteric languages";  those which are just beginning to have a substantial presence on the Internet:
 
http://www.google.com/transliterate
 
One of the language options is Persian (i.e. Farsi/Dari) which of course uses the extended Arabic
character set, but not to the extent of Pashto and Urdu where instances of "Arabic characters with
rings" become prevalent.  I think of it as an "extended extended" Arabic character set use.
 
Those of you reading this versed in Pashto and/or Urdu know or recognize exactly what I'm
referring to here.
 
My search utility is especially "tuned" or my programming infrastructure is all in place for such
fine, subtle distinctions.
 
You have my word I will act as a clearinghouse for your verified, attested transcriptions and
I intend to post the (hopefully) ongoing, ever-growing database from all contributors that I
strongly contend is useful in own right for (your) manual native text searches ... sans my
utility.
 
I vigorously contend robust transcription databases can be tremendously helpful in many
circumstances and contexts although at first glance it may not appear so.

Sta na shukria, Tashakkur, Shukriya, Thank you all for your interest and consideration.
 
Joel S.
 
 
 
Assalamu Alaikum *******: Perhaps my work can help your fellow countrymen ...

I just left a voicemail to you where I stated I was going to send you an E-mail describing my
specialized multilingual work that may be useful for helping out in the dire situation in Pakistan
for gleaning information, finding where it is lacking and perhaps most important of all correcting
things that are incorrect.  e.g. medical information, dosages etc.

My forte is the subtleties and nuances of phonetics and transcriptions of Semitic and Indo-European
languages which directly applies to the very high precision searches and "Internet scraping" I can
perform with the Python programming application or utility I have developed ... completely on my own.

It functions better than I ever anticipated it would when I started working on it for almost a year now.
 
Where my conversational expertise is Hebrew I'd say on an intermediate level, I am very familiar with
hundreds of Arabic words and many basic sayings, greetings etc.  However, from a spelling respect,
I feel confident declaring my expertise is on on par or in many contexts native Arabic and Farsi
speakers.

My search utility is a "local" application (i.e. it just resides on my computer).  The background
programming for it is far too complex to convert it to a web page as simply web tools don't have
the comprehensive esoteric "ingredients" I need as does Python.

Without going into detail and specifics I have thrown the "kitchen sink" into my application where
I understand Farsi and Pashto uses an extended Arabic character set and very subtle differences
in spelling and characters used within Arabic and Farsi and subtle differences between the
languages make all the difference in the world.

You can see a good example of my work on my Arabic transcription veracity verification web page:

http://enartrans.com
http://enartrans.com/transcription

and my datasets; the end result of my utility processing:

http://infochimps.org/datasets/arabic-internet-footprint-of-the-brookings-institute-middle-east

Attached are a couple posts I made to a couple other sources in the same regard or genre.

My inclination or objective is to perhaps glean information unlike anyone else that could be
instrumental in saving some lives but here with the flooding the scope is orders of magnitude
greater.

All the specialized language programming and experience I have is directly applicable.  I could
start doing specialized searches with regard to this humanitarian crisis straight away.

My thinking is I would/could devote some extensive searching for free; gratis with the caveat it
would reference my work where it would be on a for pay or fee basis.  I think it would be great
free advertising all the while doing something beneficial.

I was wondering if you have been approached in light of this crisis for your lingual and intellectual
abilities and if you have any ideas, references or suggestions for me.

From the work I have developed I really feel I have become apolitical.  I just want to make it a
better place and provide for my family like anybody else.  If anything else I just want to extend
to you my sympathy and condolences to you for people you knew that have died or are in
dire straits.

I welcome and look forward to hearing from you.

-Salam,

Joel S.

I run the website www.naturalarabic.com , which teaches Arabic through newspaper stories.
 
We have just introduced a search facility (at the top of our web page) which searches our database of articles, totalling around 50,000 words, and returns the word in context, with both a translation and transliteration. You can input searches in Arabic, English or transliteration.
 
I hope this will be of interest to Arabic-L subscribers.

Subject: CFP Reminder: J?l Jad?d Graduate Student Conference in Arabic Studies: Deadline November

Call for Papers: J?l Jad?d @ UT
Dates: February 18-20, 2011

Location: The University of Texas at Austin

Abstract deadline: November 1, 2010

Topic: Arabic Literature and Linguistics

Contact: jiljadidconf at gmail.com

Introduction:

The University of Texas? Department of and Center for Middle Eastern Studies, are pleased to announce that they will host the J?l Jad?d Conference, a graduate student conference in Arabic Literature and Linguistics, to be held at the University of Texas ? Austin, February 18-20, 2011.

This current generation of graduate students represents one of the largest groups of scholars all working together on Arabic in over a century. The purpose of this conference is to bring together students scattered across areas studies, linguistics, comparative literature and other departments in order to facilitate an open and productive exchange of new ideas, and to build collaborative networks that will last well after we finish our graduate education. By coming together to compare our approaches and methods, as well as our innovative research, we can help set the tone for Arabic studies as we move further into the twenty-first century.

In order to foster productive and fruitful dialogue, this conference will take an innovative approach to presentations. Papers will be grouped into panels of three to four presenters which will combine short presentations with in-depth discussions. Each panel will be led by a moderator tasked with facilitating and directing discussion.

Submitters who are accepted will be asked to provide a 2-3 page summary of their papers at least two weeks prior to the conference, so that attendees may read these summaries and more time can be devoted to discussion than presentation.  Presenters will be given fifteen (15) minutes of presentation time, followed by another fifteen (15) minutes of time for discussion. Presenters will be encouraged to use the presentation time to expand on their summaries and then to suggest topics or questions for discussion.

Professors Devin Stewart and Wail Hassan will be giving keynote speeches in linguistics and literature respectively, while career development workshops will also be offered. 
Topics:

All papers on Arabic literature and linguistics will gladly be considered, but we especially encourage submissions on the following topics:

*        Beyond diglossia: New approaches to variation in Arabic

*        Bringing data to bear: Empirical approaches to Arabic pedagogy and SLA

*        Socio-cultural approaches to the acquisition of Arabic

*        Asking new questions about old literature

*        Literature across Arabic Registers

*        Arabic literature in new diasporas

*        Arabic Literature, Linguistics and Pedagogy in the Internet Age

Papers which will be also presented at other conferences such as ALS and ACLA are welcome, as we hope to provide a forum for students to further develop and refine their research. 

Abstracts:  

Applicants may submit abstracts of no more than 400 words, not including references, in PDF format with fonts embedded. Abstracts can be submitted via the following website:

http://linguistlist.org/confcustom/JilJadidUT/

The deadline for abstracts is November  1, 2010. Abstracts should not include identifying information, *however you must indicate the highest degree you have obtained and your current position (e.g. "Graduate Student," "Assistant Professor", etc.).*
Travel Funding:

We are well aware of the financial restrictions facing graduate students, and therefore a large part of the conference budget will be devoted to providing financial assistance for travel expenses for those who are unable to obtain sufficient funding from their departments. Priority will be given to attendees with accepted papers, but others are encouraged to apply. Details of the application procedure will be made available following the application deadline. Applicants who will be outside of the US at the time of the conference are encouraged to submit, and will be able to present their papers and participate in discussions in person or via internet video-chat.

Conference fees:

A fee of $30US will be required of all attendees. Checks can be submitted to the following address, and should be made out to the University of Texas, with ?Jil Jadid? in the memo section:

Try this: http://www.almeshkat.net/books/index.php

It is not necessarily a source for 19th/early 20th century materials, but it does have many many text-based (therefore searchable) materials in writings from the long course of Islamic civilization, some of them indeed from the 19th and 20th centuries (and of course much earlier centuries as well). You once mentioned to me a peculiar term, "site sucker." By the sound of it, such a tool would come useful for a resource such as this one.

?I also have an article in pdf format, provided to me by list member Benjamin Geer discussing the word ????? and its acquisition of the meaning "culture" toward the beginning of the 20th cent. Now that I look at it, I don't have a citation! But Ben could perhaps provide it?

As A-L doesn't accept attachments, I am sending it to you by separate cover. 

I'd be happy to provide it to any other member.

Title: An Analysis of Code switching in Conversations among Multilingual
Nigerian (Shuwa) Arabs in Maiduguri, Nigeria 
Series Title: LINCOM Studies in Communication  06  

Publication Year: 2010 
Publisher: Lincom GmbH
	   http://www.lincom.eu
	
Author: Jidda Hassan Juma'a

Paperback: ISBN:  9783862880089 Pages: 160 Price: Europe EURO 62.80


Abstract:

This book discusses Nigerian (Shuwa) Arab history, demography and social
life pattern in Maiduguri. It describes codeswitching conversation among
Shuwa Arabs in Maiduguri, by identifying English (E) and Standard Arabic
(SA) lexical insertions used in Nigerian (Shuwa) Arabic (NA), Hausa (H) and
Kanuri (K) languages in codeswitching discourse. Our analysis to the
codeswitching corpus, shows integrations at different linguistic levels;
While (SA) phonological system, show complete integrations into Nigerian
Arabic phonology, English lexical items maintain their normative phonology
in the data, but some considerable examples from data violate English
phonological norms. At the morpho-phonological level, both (SA) and (E)
lexical insertions used in the codeswitching data completely integrate into
the Nigerian Arabic morph-phonological rule of stress and affixes. The zero
marked (uninflected) insertions in their word class or category, integrate
into Nigerian Arabic and Hausa Matrix languages, whose functional morpheme
elements form the constituent structure occupied by the inserted lexical
items. The study thus, revealed that, while (SA) lexical insertions show
complete integration at all levels (Phonology, morphology, syntax), the
English ones show integrations at the morpho-syntactic level, and a partial
integration at the phonological level.

Jidda Hassan Juma'a holds a doctorate degree in General Linguistics from
University of Maiduguri. He is a senior lecturer in the department of

Hi,
I?m looking for all versions and ports of BAMA or SAMA.
 
I am aware of java port by Pierrick Brihaye and a ?fastcgi? version with a database interface on sourceforge.net posted by someone with the user ID of jonsafari.
 
Is anybody aware of any other ports of AraMorph, Buckwalter Arabic Morphology Analyzer or Standard Arabic Morphology Analyzer?

Dear All,

If you have any knowledge of qualitative data analysis software for Arabic, please reply to irfana00 at gmail.com

I am looking to invest in a good qualitative data analysis software that supports Arabic.  So far, I had the best reviews of NVivo but it doesn't fully support Arabic.  Does anyone have any suggestions about other software that might be useful.  I am mainly looking for something that will handle all kinds of material (documents, media files, pictures, personal notes), and sort, classify, and code bits of texts (instead of just text files). Thank you for the help.

My C++ version is also on Sourceforge:

Note that this is a port of Version 1. (I've got a port of BAMA
Version 2.0 as well, but I have not uploaded it because there are
still a few bugs I haven't gotten around to fixing. Also, unlike
Version 1, I cannot include the lexicons since BAMA Version 2 is not
released under the GPL.)

Journal: Linguistics

Call Deadline: 15-Nov-2010

Call Information:
Experimental Approaches to Mutual Intelligibility of Closely Related
Languages
Guest Editors: Charlotte Gooskens, Nanna Haug Hilton, Anja Sch?ppert

Communication across language borders mostly takes place in lingua
francas. In some regions, however, it is more likely that people will
communicate with each other using their native languages. Speakers
communicating this way are receptively bilingual, meaning that they can
understand closely related languages without being able to speak them
actively. Some well-documented language areas in Europe where receptive
multilingualism has been documented include Scandinavia, the Iberian
Peninsula, Finland/Estonia, Slovakia/Czech Republic and the Benelux.
Outside Europe, among others, mutual intelligibility between Afrikaans and
Dutch, Hindi and Urdu and Kalabari and Nembe (Nigeria) have been
investigated and numerous other cases of receptive multilingualism are
known.
Linguistic as well as non-linguistic factors determine the success and the
fluency of mutual intelligibility. Speakers of languages with a large phonetic
distance, for example, frequently encounter more problems when
communicating in their native languages than speakers whose native
languages are phonetically closer. Furthermore, prosodic, syntactic, and
lexical differences have an impact on the degree of receptive multilingualism
of the listeners. Non-linguistic factors that may play a role are attitudes
towards the neighbouring language or culture, or the amount of contact. The
existence of negative attitudes or social stigmas attached to languages is
often seen as a potential obstruction for successful intergroup communication
while previous contact with a language enhances the chance of successful
communication.
For some language pairs, consistent asymmetries in mutual intelligibility have
been reported. These asymmetries have often been explained by means of
non-linguistic determinants. However, there is evidence that also linguistic
factors may cause asymmetrical intelligibility.

We invite papers for a special issue in Linguistics employing experimental
methods to investigate receptive multilingualism from all language families.
Topics include, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- linguistic determinants of mutual intelligibility (such as prosodic,
phonetic, morpho-syntactic and lexical features)
- non-linguistic determinants of mutual intelligibility (such as language
attitudes and language contact)
- asymmetries in mutual intelligibility
- new methods for measuring intelligibility

Abstracts should be approximately 700 words and may be submitted by 15
November 2010 to a.schueppert at rug.nl.

I?m working on a project dealing with the teaching of Arabic language and literature in the United States. Do you know of any directory or list of programs/ departments that offer the degrees cited above in Arabic? Modern Arabic Literature? Classical Arabic Literature etc..? I have found AATAWEB to be of no help apart from listing scores of colleges and universities( instead of departments or programs) where Arabic is taught.
 
I would appreciate any suggestion or information you may have.
 
Best wishes.

I am pleased to announce the publication of a new book pertinent to human language technologies:

Introduction to Arabic Natural Language Processing
Nizar Y. Habash
2010

Abstract  
This book provides system developers and researchers in natural language processing and computational linguistics with the necessary background information for working with the Arabic language. The goal is to introduce Arabic linguistic phenomena and review the state-of-the-art in Arabic processing. The book discusses Arabic script, phonology, orthography, morphology, syntax and semantics, with a final chapter on machine translation issues. The chapter sizes correspond more or less to what is linguistically distinctive about Arabic, with morphology getting the lion's share, followed by Arabic script. No previous knowledge of Arabic is needed. This book is designed for computer scientists and linguists alike. The focus of the book is on Modern Standard Arabic; however, notes on practical issues related to Arabic dialects and languages written in the Arabic script are presented in different chapters.
Table of Contents: What is "Arabic"? / Arabic Script / Arabic Phonology and Orthography / Arabic Morphology / Computational Morphology Tasks / Arabic Syntax / A Note on Arabic Semantics / A Note on Arabic and Machine Translation

my question is a bit off topic as my field of research is Ancient South Arabian language and culture. I'd like to do some applications for this subject in American universities. 
Do you know of any web site, directory or list of programs/ departments that offer degrees in Ancient Near Est studies?
 
I would appreciate any suggestion or information you may have.

Best regards,

Alessia Prioletta

Dear Salih,
 
I am interested in finding out the results of your research.  I have been looking for a list of Universities that offer a major in Arabic Studies/Literature/Teaching or any concentration in Arabic Language and Culture.  I would appreciate you sharing it if you are able to generate it.
 
To start with, we offer a Bachelors in Arabic Studies at DePaul University which includes advanced literature courses taught in Arabic and a literature in translation course where text is provided in Arabic and English. 
 
Good luck on your research.

Subject: New Book:Islamist Rhetoric

Dear colleagues, 
Routledge has just published my monograph Islamist Rhetoric: Language and culture in contemporary Egypt. This book combines functional grammar (in the Halliday tradition) with sociology and rhetorical theory in order to analyze the rhetoric of prominent Islamist intellectuals in Egypt. Here is a short summary of the book, and the link to Routledge. I hope it may be of use to some of you. If anyone has queries about the book, I would be happy to answer your questions: mail to jah at fafo.no.

"Islamism in Egypt is more diversified in terms of its sociology and ideology than is usually assumed. Through linguistic analysis of Islamist rhetoric, this book sheds light upon attitudes towards other Muslims, religious authority and secular society.
Examining the rhetoric of three central Islamist figures in Egypt today - Yusuf al-Qaradawi, Amr Khalid and Muhammad Imara - the author investigates the connection between Islamist rhetoric and the social and political structures of the Islamic field in Egypt. Highlighting the diversity of Islamist rhetoric, the author argues that differences of form disclose sociological and ideological tensions. Grounded in Systemic Functional Grammar, the book explores three linguistic areas in detail: pronoun use, mood choices and configurations of processes and participants. The author explores how the writers relate to their readers and how they construe concepts that are central in the current Islamic revival, such as ?Islamic thought?, ?Muslims?, and ?the West?.

Introducing an alternative divide in Egyptian public debate - between text cultures rather than ideologies - this book approaches the topic of Islamism from a unique analytical perspective, offering an important addition to the existing literature in the areas of Middle Eastern society and politics, Arabic language and religious studies."

Offre de postdoc ? France Telecom Orange Labs dans le domaine de la
recherche d?information cross-lingue (CLIR).
 
Lieu : France Telecom Orange Labs ? Lannion (Bretagne).
Date : d?s que possible en fin 2010.
Dur?e : 12 mois.
 
Sujet du postdoc :
Approches hybrides de traitement des requ?tes pour la recherche d'information cross-lingue
 
Contexte de recherche :
Certains choix techniques ou m?thodologiques en recherche d'information multilingue
n'ont pas encore atteint un niveau de consensus. Par exemple, il n'est pas trivial
d'opter pour la traduction des requ?tes ou la traduction des contenus. Toutefois,
il nous semble d'ores et d?j? acceptable que la traduction des contenus est plus
optimale lorsque la quantit? d'informations ? indexer ainsi que le nombre de langues
concern?es ne sont pas tr?s ?lev?s. Dans le cas contraire, la traduction pr?alable
de tous les contenus index?s dans toutes les langues peut poser de r?els probl?mes d'?conomie.
En effet, une petite partie seulement des informations traduites pourrait ?tre r?ellement exploit?e.
 
Activit? du postdoc :
Cette activit? s?inscrit dans le cadre d?un projet de R&D dans le domaine de la recherche
d?information multim?dia et multilingue. Il est propos? d'explorer, mettre en oeuvre
et ?valuer une ou des m?thodes hybrides pour le traitement des requ?tes en vue d'une recherche cross-lingue.
Contrairement ? une traduction brute de la requ?te, qui peut ?chouer compte tenu
de sa pauvret? syntaxique et contextuelle, ce travail consiste ? explorer diff?rentes
approches dont la combinaison permettrait d'effectuer des pr?-traitements ou des
post-traitements moins syst?matiques et mieux r?fl?chis sur les requ?tes :
- Identification dans le requ?te des composants invariants, traduisibles, translit?rables, etc.
- Prise en compte de scores de confiance et post-?dition de la traduction automatique.
- Exploitation de ressources linguistiques : Wikip?dia, entit?s nomm?es, lexiques multilingues, th?saurus, etc.
- Utilisation de l'expansion de requ?tes pour la compensation de la couverture lexicale issue de la traduction.
- Choix et usage de techniques appropri?es de traduction pour les diff?rents composants de la requ?te.
- Etc.
 
Profil recherch? :
- Doctorat en informatique ou en linguistique, ayant ?t? soutenu de pr?f?rence depuis moins de 18 mois.
- Bonnes connaissances en TALN et des diff?rentes approches en traduction automatique.
- Connaissances en recherche d?information et en CLIR.
- Ma?trise de Linux, Python ou Java, langage de script (bash), C++ serait un plus.
- Langues : fran?ais et anglais (la connaissance d'autres langues serait un atout).
- Motivation pour la R&D dans un milieu industriel.

FACULTY POSITION
Arabic Literature
NYU ABU DHABI

New York University Abu Dhabi seeks to appoint a leading scholar at the
level of associate or full professor in the field of Arabic Literature.
Experienced junior scholars may also be considered. The successful candidate
will have the opportunity to play an integral role in fashioning a complete
international research university oriented around the liberal arts. We are
looking for a literary scholar who maintains an active agenda of research,
has substantial publication, and has demonstrated commitment to
undergraduate teaching.

Members of NYU Abu Dhabi?s standing faculty receive generous support for
research and travel.  The teaching load is three undergraduate courses per
year (semester system), including at least one in the core curriculum. Other
terms of employment are competitive compared to U.S. benchmarks and include
housing and educational subsidies for children. Standing faculty members are
affiliated with relevant departments at NYU in New York. They typically
begin their appointments with a year of reduced teaching at NYU?s Washington
Square campus. Thereafter, they will have the opportunity to spend semesters
at NYU in New York or at other campuses within NYU?s global network. The
appointment may begin as soon as September 1, 2011 but could be delayed
until September 1, 2012. 

Situated at a new global crossroads, NYU Abu Dhabi is integrally connected
to NYU New York. The faculties collaborate across the two campuses, which
form the foundation of a unique global network university and are linked to
NYU?s other study and research sites on five continents. 

Alongside its highly selective liberal arts college, NYU Abu Dhabi is
creating distinctive graduate programs and a world-class institute for
advanced research that fosters creative work across the Arts, Humanities,
Social Sciences, Sciences, and Engineering. The international character of
NYUAD is reflected in the global composition of the faculty and the student
body as well as the research agenda and curriculum, which have been designed
to promote inventiveness, intellectual curiosity, multidisciplinary
interest, and intercultural understanding.

Review of applications will begin on December 1, 2010 and will continue
until the position is filled. Letters of application should be uploaded in
PDF format to our website at
http://nyuad.nyu.edu/human.resources/open.positions.html and addressed to
Professor Jacques Lezra, Chair, Department of Comparative Literature, New
York University, New York, NY 10003.  Candidates should also submit a
curriculum vitae and a statement of research and teaching interests. Junior

procedure, please e-mail nyuad.humanities at nyu.edu.

I wonder if you can please post to the listserv the following query: I am a graduate student hoping to study intensive Arabic next summer (2011) in an Arabic/Middle Eastern/North African country. Can anyone recommend a summer-long intensive Arabic language program emphasizing speaking, listening, reading, and writing?
 
Thank you,

Hoping this email finds you all well. I'm Arabic Information Retrieval Systems researcher and i'm caring about evaluating Arabic search engines comparing with the global one, considering the Arabic characteristics (morphology, grammar, lexicon and semantics). I'm asking if there any free scholarship or working project which promote my interest to join in?

The Arabic Language Across the Ages, by Nader Al Jallad

This volume, which is based on a conference held in Cordoba, brings together scholars studying texts, Arabic-related registers, and dialects belonging to different periods and areas throughout the centuries from a philological and linguistic perspective. The outcome is a significant contribution to the investigation of geographical and diachronic criteria used to facilitate the analysis of both old and present linguistic entities.

In his excellent book, ?????? ?????? ?????? (Na?ariyy?t Lis?niyya ?Arfaniyya), ?????? ?????? (Al-?Azhar al-Zann?d) translates this term (very elegantly, I think) as ????? (in???).  The book also contains ingenious translations of many other terms used in Cognitive Linguistics.  You can find it here:

Dear 
This process  is not applicable in Arabic language ; since any new grammatical change in the Arabic is not acceptable. This may be obviously seen in the English language. 
Both  sound  and grammatical systems  are considered like the  backbone of language. Any  change in these two systems  may expose the language to split. This is what the English language is facing now >
However I can suggest the term  ?????? ???????   for this concept

The most appropriate Arabic equivalent for "grammaticalization" is intiHaa'. Ramzi Baalbaki uses the same term in his Dictionary of Linguistic Terms (English-Arabic).

Subject: Studies on MSA Development

The question is usually turned on its ear and posed "how did the dialects develop"?

Neither that question nor yours is by any means settled.

By MSA do you mean the current manifestations of the writing system? Or do you simply mean written Arabic as it has persisted over the centuries?

For that, you might look at this piece that I have just assigned to my seminar students:

C. Rabin The Beginnings of Classical Arabic. Studia Islamica, No. 4 (1955), pp. 19-37

For a detailed look at many of the issues, you might consider chapter 3 (The Classical Arabiya as the Language of an Oral Poetry) in  

M. Zwettler 1978. The Oral Tradition of Classical Arabic Poetry:  Its character and implications.  Columbus:  Ohio State University Press

Then you can read the German and French writers that those two authors cite!

There are also chapters about the origins and development of Classical Arabic and Modern Standard Arabic in Versteegh, C. H. M. 1997.The Arabic language. New York: Columbia University Press

Subject: Summer Intensive Arabic Study Abroad programs

Matt,

To the best of my knowledge, all intensive summer Arabic language programs emphasize speaking, listening, reading, and writing. 

There are summer programs sprouting up all over the Arab world. That being so, you have something of a luxury of choice. My advice to anyone learning Arabic is not to neglect the study of one of the spoken Arabic vernaculars. (Perhaps that is what you mean by asking for programs emphasizing speaking? With the institutional bias towards so-called Modern Standard Arabic, which is not a native spoken vernacular of anyone anywhere, your query may be more apropos than you had imagined). The study-abroad experience is the ideal time in which to engage a spoken vernacular, so the deciding consideration to students such as yourself should then be what part of the Arab world interests them or in which they imagine themselves working in their careers. That is the local vernacular they should choose. 

With the wide choices now available, you should investigate such programs as offer the spoken variety of Arabic indigenous to the part of the Arab world that interests you the most. As I say, there are many now available. For starters, check the homepage of the American Association of Teachers of Arabic. I happen to collect all the announcements I see (or most of them) so if you wish to send me a message telling me which spoken Arabic vernacular interests you the most, I may be able to suggest a program to you.

I should mention is that we have a six-week intensive summer program at the American University of Beirut in which we are paying more and more attention to spoken Lebanese Arabic. As of last year, students received one and a half hours a day of Lebanese Arabic to start the morning, and then went on to another five hours of written Arabic. There is some talk of a pure spoken Lebanese option, but I wouldn't count on that until it is actually announced. Part of the problem is a sheer lack of a sufficient quantity of appropriate teaching materials (as exists for Egyptian Arabic). 

The program is offered through the Center for Arab and Middle Eastern Studies (CAMES). Information may be found on their webpage: http://www.aub.edu.lb/fas/cames/Pages/index.aspx    

Applications are through the CAMES office, not the AUB office of admissions; the form should be available next month. 

Even though the summer weather is hot (about 34 C) and sticky (80% relative humidity), students love Beirut. The nights, I hear, are different from the days.

Dear Colleagues,

Salaams and greetings. We are happy to announce that we will be hosting a seminar at the annual conference for the American Comparative Literature Association (ACLA) in Vancouver, B.C. March 31 to April 3.

The theme of the conference is "World Literature, Comparative Literature."

The title of our seminar is "Mahfouz at 100: The Arabic Novel and the Changing World." The idea behind this seminar is to generate discussion about the Arabic novel, its historical role and its place within world literature while keeping in mind Mahfouz's legacy. That said, papers need not focus on Mahfouz. Topics may include but are not limited to: politics of the novel and the novel in politics, writing the diaspora, narratives of social struggle, the evolution of the Arabic novel and critical literary scholarship in Arabic studies, and issues in translation and cultural communication. Papers that keep in mind a comparative mode of analysis are especially welcome. Please take a look at the seminar description and consider joining us this Spring in beautiful Vancouver, B.C.

THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION IS NOVEMBER 12.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE SEMINAR CAN BE FOUND AT:
http://www.acla.org/acla2011/

25th Arabic Linguistics Symposium
University of Arizona, Tucson
March 4-6, 2011

The Arabic Linguistics Society and University of Arizona are pleased to announce the 25th Arabic Linguistics Symposium to be held at the University of Arizona, Tucson, March 4-6, 2011.

Papers are invited on topics that deal with theoretic and applied issues of Arabic Linguistics. Research in the following areas of Arabic linguistics is encouraged: linguistic analysis (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics), applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, discourse analysis, historical linguistics, corpus linguistics, computational linguistics, etc.

Special Session: Experimental and field method approaches to Arabic dialect analysis
Until recently, contemporary linguistic theories have been developed and tested, for ideological or expeditious reasons,  based on research conducted using data drawn primarily from Classical, Media  or Literary Arabic;  a written language with no native speakers. This partiality to Standard/Classical Arabic coupled with generative theory-internal approaches to secondary dialectal data analysis yielded a great void in linguistic research employing experimental and field method approaches based on primary data. This special session aims to celebrate the richness and diversity of regional Arabic, as well as the variety of methodological approaches to primary data collection. The session invites papers on any aspect of Arabic dialect analysis, including gender or ethnic based variation, processing, acquisition, revitalization of endangered varieties, dialect typology, corpus linguistics, forensic linguistics, and clinical linguistics.

Keynote Speaker: Dr. Sabah M.Z. Safi, King Abdulaziz University


Persons interested in presenting papers are requested to submit a one-page abstract giving the title of the paper, a brief statement of the topic, and a summary clearly stating how the topic will be developed (the reasoning, data, and experimental results to be presented). Authors are requested to be as specific as possible in describing their topics. Abstracts should be submitted by e-mail as pdf attachments (all fonts embedded) to:

mustafa.mughazy at wmich.edu<mailto:mustafa.mughazy at wmich.edu>

Authors? names are not to appear anywhere in the abstracts. Instead, the author?s name, email address, postal address, and phone number should be included in the body of the email message. Please specify if the abstract is for the general or specific session.

Twenty minutes will be allowed for each presentation followed by ten minutes for discussion.

Deadline for Receipt of Abstracts: November 1, 2010
Registration:
All registrations must include a $25 ALS membership fee in addition to:
Before February 1, 2011: 35 for students and 50 for non-students.
After February 1, 2011: 45 for students and 60 for non-students.

For those who don?t want to do the math, this means your check should be $60 for students, and $75 for non-students before Feb. 1, 2011, an $70 for students and $85 for non-students after Feb. 1, 2011.  ALS membership dues are non-refundable.  Conference fees are refundable only for those whose abstracts were not accepted.

Hi Eric,
 
I saw your inquiry for a summer intensive Arabic program on the Arabic-L listserv.  I am the Syria Program Manager at CET Academic Programs, a study abroad company based in Washington, DC.  We launched an Intensive Arabic Language & Culture Studies program this past summer and I strongly recommend you take a look at our program in Aleppo, Syria as an option for your language studies in Summer 2011.  Our application deadline for the summer program is March 1st. You can also take a look at our blog to see what some of our students had to say about their experiences in Aleppo:  http://cetacademicprograms.wordpress.com/?s=Aleppo

Subject: AMIDEAST Education Abroad Programs in the Arab World

I noticed that the link for AMIDEAST Education Abroad Programs in the Arab World on the AATA site is out of date and a dead link.  The correct link is:
 
http://www.amideast.org/abroad
 
We have both semester/academic year programs and summer intensive programs at the following sites:
 
Semester/Academic Year
            Amman, Jordan
            Cairo, Egypt
            Kuwait
            Rabat, Morocco
            Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane, Morocco
 
Summer Intensive Arabic
            Amman, Jordan
            Rabat, Morocco
 
Information about all of these programs is on the website noted above.
