Subject: Arabic romanization in social networking media

Dear Colleagues,

A colleague in Chinese has asked me whether Arabic speakers use  
"romanization" on  their Facebook or other social networking pages.   
Since I work almost exclusively on premodern texts, and also do not  
subscribe to any social networking sites, I am doubly unqualified to  
answer this question, so I am asking you.  Can I ask you please to  
respond directly to me and I will collate your answers and forward  
them to my colleague.  If anyone happens to be studying this  
phenomenon, which probably extends to the use of romanization in any  
digital media, like texting, I'm sure my colleague would like to hear  
from you and I could put you in touch.

Thanks,
Joe Lowry

Subject: New Book: Dynamism in MSA

Author:  Hasan, Rashid
Title: Dynamism in Modern Standard Arabic
Subtitle: An Analytical Study
Year: 2010
Publisher:  Lambert Academic Publishing (https://online.lap-publishing.com/)
ISBN: 978-3-8383-8177-0

Subject:  Dynamism is an intrinsic part of existence.  The entire universe along with all its entities is in constant state of lfux.  Giant creatures disappear and monuments are reduced to rubles with the passage of time.  Languages are diverse and dynamic.  They are shaped and their continuity and discipline disrupted by their locale, race, class, ethnicity, gender, and age, as well as inherent elements present in a particular language.  Arabic is no exception to this tradition of change.  Despite having a recorded consistency and continuity of a little more than 1500 years, Modern Standard Arabic has all the basic elements preserved of its ancestor language.  The spirit is same with a new form that reflects the massive changes arrived through by the humanity during the pasty 15 centuries.  This is an unparalleled example in the history of human languages, wherein a language has retained its fundamental structure with such an integrity.  Islam, Sunnah, QUran, Arab nationalism - we can contribute this to many factors.  By all means, what we have today is an amazing communication system thriving and flourishing in all its glory, rooted strongly to its very origin.

Subject: Biblioteca de al-Andalus

From the Fundación Ibn Tufayl de Estudios Árabes we would like to inform you about the Biblioteca de al-Andalus, an unprecedented work that gathers and analyses the rich andalusian intelectual production, made with complete scientific rigour, within the Encyclopaedia of the Andalusian Culture project.

The Biblioteca de al-Andalus has been made with the collaboration of a numerous team of specialists of recognized prestige. It offers the biographies of over 2000 authors from all over al-Andalus, and a detailed study of their works, focused on different fields of knowledge. We would like to distinguish the following ones:

*
Literature: Ibn Shuhayd, Ibn Zaydun, al-Mu'tamid, Ibn Jafaya, Ibn Quzman...
*
Law: Ibn Rushd (Averroes), Cadi Iyad of Ceuta...
*
Philosophy and Thought: Averroes, Ibn Hazm, Avempace, Maimónides, Ibn Tufayl...
*
Sufism: Ibn al-Arabi de Murcia, Ibn Masarra, Ibn al-Arif, Ibn Sab'in...
*
History: Ibn Hayyan, al-Razi, Ibn al-Jatib, Ibn Jaldun...
*
Medicine: Avenzoar, al-Zahrawi...
*
Geography: al-Idrisi, al-Himyari, al-Bakri...
*
Linguistics: Ibn Malik, Ibn Mada', Ibn al-Sid al-Batalyawsi, Abu Hayyan al-Garnati, Ibn Sida of Murcia...
*
Astronomy: Azarquiel, Ibn Baso, Ibn al-Saffar...
*
Agronomy: Ibn al-Awwam, Ibn Bassal, Ibn Luyun...
*
Travel Literature: Ibn Battuta, Ibn Yubayr, Abu Hamid al-Garnati...
*
Mathematics: al-Mu'taman, al-Qalasadi...
*
And a lot more besides.

It is made up of seven volumes, of about 700 pages each, 21x29 cm size. Through them, you have access to a full systematized information (onomastic and toponymic indexes, as welll as analytic indexes of subjects and activities) and graphic tools of great didactic use (family trees, maps, statistics and other illustrations). Written in Spanish language, it can also be easily used by people who cannot speak this language, as the clear structure of entries enables direct access to practical information.

We also would like to inform you about another important work, El Cantar de Mío Cid: Génesis y autoría árabe, by Dolores Oliver from Universidad de Valladolid. In this book she supports the thesis that one of the fundamental texts of the Spanish Literature would have an arabic origin. Dolores Oliver defends that it could have been written by the erudite historian al-Waqqashi, who was a loyal partner of the Cid and the one who was  nominated cadi of Valencia in 1094.

We hope this information has been of your interest. If you wish to purchase this work, you can contact us by answering this e-mail, or by phone, at: (+34)950237709.
In the catalogue below, you can consult the description of every volume of the Biblioteca de al-Andalus and the other publications, together with their prices.
Over these prices we offer you a 5% discount. The delivery expenses will only be of 6 euros per 3 kgs of weight within Europe, and 8 euros overseas.

We are at your service for any inquiry you wish to make.

NEW BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT

Title: Second Language Instruction with Linguistic Awareness: Teaching Arabic to Speakers of English

Book Description:
This research-based book presents a study that examined the impact of explicit instruction in phonetics and the phonologies of English and Arabic on the development of sound production and recognition skills. The study utilized an intervention strategy that introduced the sounds and letters of Arabic to two groups of adult English-speaking learners of Arabic. The data strongly suggest that including an introductory component to articulatory phonetics and the phonologies of the first and target languages improves sound production and sound recognition skills of adult foreign language learners. These results are based on quantitative and qualitative data analysis and show statistically consistent differences in the sound production and sound recognition skills of the students in the two groups, with the students in the experimental group achieving higher scores than the students in the control group. The book provides recommendations for students, teachers, and curriculum developers.

About the Author:
Dr. Khaled Huthaily is a Fulbright scholar with an Ed.D. in Curriculum and Instruction, an M.A. in Applied Linguistics, and a B.A. in Education. He is working as Assistant Professor of Arabic and Linguistics at The University of Montana, USA. His areas of research include English-Arabic contrastive linguistics and curriculum development.

Subject: refs on gestures and taboos in Egypt

The information is rather old, but You might want to look at Desmond Morris' "Gestures", which covers a large number of emblematic gestures around the Europe and the Mediterranean (including the African side of the Med). Also Robert Barakat did a paper back in the 70s on emblems used in the Arab world. 

More  recently, you can check with Sue Duncan of the McNeill gesture lab at U Chicago. They are in the middle of transcribing a multimodal corpus, which includes Egyptian, Iraqi (of various kinds), and Gulf (UAE). All materials are on video, and the corpus consists of spoken language as well as McNeill-style gestural analysis.

Hope this helps,

-Dan.

Greetings.. ahalan wa sahlan...

Two references in English which include citations of some gestures as specific to Egypt are:

Arabic Gestures [article includes many illustrations], Robert Barakat, J. of Popular Culture,  6, 749-792, 1973

Arab Cultural Communication Patterns, Ellen Feghali, Intl. J. of Intercultural Relations [IJIR], 21, pp 345-378, 1997

Most everything else on Arab gestures I have seen published in the English and Arabic discuss the gestures and their semiotics common to the Eastern Mediterranean area or, more recently, the Arabian Peninsula and Gulf region, where more research has been done and published.

Look forward to responses and citations kindly provided by other subscribers to the list.

Hope this helps. Khair, in shaa' Allah.

Abstract:

Coptic was the language spoken in Egypt from late ancient times to the
seventeenth century, when it was overtaken by Arabic as the national
language. Derived from ancient Egyptian, the language of the hieroglyphs,
it was written in an adapted form of Greek script. This dictionary lists
about 2,000 Coptic words whose etymology has been established from ancient
Egyptian and Greek sources, covering two-thirds of the known Coptic
vocabulary and complementing W. E. Crum's 1939 Coptic Dictionary, still the
standard in the field. The Egyptian forms are quoted in hieroglyphic and/or
demotic forms. An appendix lists the etymologies of Coptic place-names. The
final work of Czech Egyptologist Jaroslav ?erný (1898-1970), Professor of
Egyptology at Oxford, the Dictionary was brought through to publication by
colleagues after his death.

Subject: Poetry and the Body in the Arabic Novel

Dear Colleagues,

Koll sana w antom bekoll khair.

I'd like to inform you that two of my Arabic books are available now on Amazon and creatspace.

1- What Laila Said to Almajnoun, A Collection of Poems

The love story of Laila and her infatuated lover (Almajnoun) is the most common one in Arabic literature. We know what the Arab poet Almajnoun said to his beloved Laila but we know very little about what she said to him. This is a collection of poems that Laila might say to Almajnoun.

Order from:

https://www.createspace.com/3470854

2- The Body in the Contemporary Arabic Novel
"The Body in the Contemporary Arabic Novel: Position, Gesticulation and Notion" deals with three novels from three Arab countries. The book aims are searching for distinctions in body representations. 

Concerning the methodology, the book uses Narratology, Semiology, Cognitive Psychology, Kinesics and Proxemics. 

The Introduction portrays the body notion in the Gnostic Theory and the Arabic traditional texts dealing with human sexuality. It also depicts the body notion in contemporary discourses, disclosing the body notion in Modernism 

The first chapter scrutinizes the Gnostic representation of the body in the novel "at-Tibr" (Gold), by the Libyan novelist Ibrahim al-Kouny. The second chapter examines the ideological representation of the body in the Syrian novelist Haydar Haydar's "Walimah li A'ashaab al-Bahr" (A Banquet for Sea Weeds). The third chapter explores the mythological representation in the novel "Madinat al-Lad dah" (City of Pleasure), by the Egyptian novelist Ezzat al-Qamhaawy.

Dear Colleagues,
 
Hope you’ve made the most of your summer holiday and ready for the new academic year.
 
I was wondering if you have any information, resources, links etc… on the 250thanniversary and heritage of teaching Arabic in Scotland that took place in 2000.
 
I would need this information urgently to help organising an exhibion for the launch of a new organisation called the Scottish Arabic Federation (SAFE) at the Scottish Parliament on 29th Sep to which you are all invited (see invitation below). There will be many high profile attendees as the event is sponsored by Marilyn Livingstone MSP (Member of Scottish Parliament).
 
Any help to organise the aforementioned would be really appreciated
 
Many thanks

Salaam,
 
If your question is related to IPA fonts to transcribe the sounds of Arabic, here is a link where you can download IPA fonts for free:
http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?item_id=encore-ipa 
 
However, one issue with those fonts is that the dental diacritic is not placed correctly below the /t/ and /d/. The font that I use in my works and publications is e-PhonTranslit UNI. It correctly puts the diactritics in their places. [It is for free, but see the copyright note]. Here is the link:
http://www.uni-hamburg.de/Wiss/FB/10/IndienS/Kniprath/INDOLIPI/Indolipi.htm 
 
Once you save the font(s) in the "Fonts" folder, which is in the "Windows" folder, they will be part of the "system fonts" and should work in any word processing program, regardless of its version/edition. In MS Word, you can use the "insert symbol" button and navigate to the "e-PhonTranslit UNI" font. Make sure you embed the fonts (or save the Word file as PDF) to see the fonts in the file when it is opened on a computer that does not have the same fonts.
 
I hope this helps, and I am sorry for sending this long e-mail and repeating things that you might already be very familiar with.
 
Enjoy the weekend.

Try Gentium. It's free, it's unicode, it looks nice and it's very easy to use once you have installed your own keyuboard shortcuts. You can download it for instance on :

Subject: Proper names which have lost the Al- prefix

Hello everyone,

First thanks a lot for the all the responses I got about transcription fonts. 

I want to ask this time about examples of proper names in Arabic that are attached with the definite marker al-. I know this was maybe more common in pre-Islamic and Islamic eras, but I am interested in examples of names which had al as part of it in those days but then in modern times lost the al, such as الشيماء     شيماء. Do you know more examples like this?

Thanks a lot.

Subject: Need electronic text from19th early 20th centuries

I have been contacted about providing search capabilities so that a scholar can search early Arabic newspapers from the latter part of the 19th century and the early part of the 20th century in order to do studies on the introduction and change in meaning and use of particular words.  It occurs to me that if such a capability were available, many scholars would be interested.  I have volunteered to make the engine of the arabiCorpus.byu.edu tool available for any such project.  We could divide it, for example, by decades, so that scholars could see the development of how words are actually used over time.  However, this would require the existence of a digitized version of a reasonable amount of this text. If anyone either has such a thing or knows where it might be obtained, please let us know.  In addition to newspaper and magazine text, any electronic texts from this period (basically 1800-1920 or even 1950) would be welcome.
Thanks.

Subject: Arabic romanization in social networking media

Dear Colleagues,

A colleague in Chinese has asked me whether Arabic speakers use  
"romanization" on  their Facebook or other social networking pages.   
Since I work almost exclusively on premodern texts, and also do not  
subscribe to any social networking sites, I am doubly unqualified to  
answer this question, so I am asking you.  Can I ask you please to  
respond directly to me and I will collate your answers and forward  
them to my colleague.  If anyone happens to be studying this  
phenomenon, which probably extends to the use of romanization in any  
digital media, like texting, I'm sure my colleague would like to hear  
from you and I could put you in touch.

Thanks,
Joe Lowry

Subject: New Book: Dynamism in MSA

Author:  Hasan, Rashid
Title: Dynamism in Modern Standard Arabic
Subtitle: An Analytical Study
Year: 2010
Publisher:  Lambert Academic Publishing (https://online.lap-publishing.com/)
ISBN: 978-3-8383-8177-0

Subject:  Dynamism is an intrinsic part of existence.  The entire universe along with all its entities is in constant state of lfux.  Giant creatures disappear and monuments are reduced to rubles with the passage of time.  Languages are diverse and dynamic.  They are shaped and their continuity and discipline disrupted by their locale, race, class, ethnicity, gender, and age, as well as inherent elements present in a particular language.  Arabic is no exception to this tradition of change.  Despite having a recorded consistency and continuity of a little more than 1500 years, Modern Standard Arabic has all the basic elements preserved of its ancestor language.  The spirit is same with a new form that reflects the massive changes arrived through by the humanity during the pasty 15 centuries.  This is an unparalleled example in the history of human languages, wherein a language has retained its fundamental structure with such an integrity.  Islam, Sunnah, QUran, Arab nationalism - we can contribute this to many factors.  By all means, what we have today is an amazing communication system thriving and flourishing in all its glory, rooted strongly to its very origin.

Subject: Biblioteca de al-Andalus

From the Fundaci?n Ibn Tufayl de Estudios ?rabes we would like to inform you about the Biblioteca de al-Andalus, an unprecedented work that gathers and analyses the rich andalusian intelectual production, made with complete scientific rigour, within the Encyclopaedia of the Andalusian Culture project.

The Biblioteca de al-Andalus has been made with the collaboration of a numerous team of specialists of recognized prestige. It offers the biographies of over 2000 authors from all over al-Andalus, and a detailed study of their works, focused on different fields of knowledge. We would like to distinguish the following ones:

*
Literature: Ibn Shuhayd, Ibn Zaydun, al-Mu'tamid, Ibn Jafaya, Ibn Quzman...
*
Law: Ibn Rushd (Averroes), Cadi Iyad of Ceuta...
*
Philosophy and Thought: Averroes, Ibn Hazm, Avempace, Maim?nides, Ibn Tufayl...
*
Sufism: Ibn al-Arabi de Murcia, Ibn Masarra, Ibn al-Arif, Ibn Sab'in...
*
History: Ibn Hayyan, al-Razi, Ibn al-Jatib, Ibn Jaldun...
*
Medicine: Avenzoar, al-Zahrawi...
*
Geography: al-Idrisi, al-Himyari, al-Bakri...
*
Linguistics: Ibn Malik, Ibn Mada', Ibn al-Sid al-Batalyawsi, Abu Hayyan al-Garnati, Ibn Sida of Murcia...
*
Astronomy: Azarquiel, Ibn Baso, Ibn al-Saffar...
*
Agronomy: Ibn al-Awwam, Ibn Bassal, Ibn Luyun...
*
Travel Literature: Ibn Battuta, Ibn Yubayr, Abu Hamid al-Garnati...
*
Mathematics: al-Mu'taman, al-Qalasadi...
*
And a lot more besides.

It is made up of seven volumes, of about 700 pages each, 21x29 cm size. Through them, you have access to a full systematized information (onomastic and toponymic indexes, as welll as analytic indexes of subjects and activities) and graphic tools of great didactic use (family trees, maps, statistics and other illustrations). Written in Spanish language, it can also be easily used by people who cannot speak this language, as the clear structure of entries enables direct access to practical information.

We also would like to inform you about another important work, El Cantar de M?o Cid: G?nesis y autor?a ?rabe, by Dolores Oliver from Universidad de Valladolid. In this book she supports the thesis that one of the fundamental texts of the Spanish Literature would have an arabic origin. Dolores Oliver defends that it could have been written by the erudite historian al-Waqqashi, who was a loyal partner of the Cid and the one who was  nominated cadi of Valencia in 1094.

We hope this information has been of your interest. If you wish to purchase this work, you can contact us by answering this e-mail, or by phone, at: (+34)950237709.
In the catalogue below, you can consult the description of every volume of the Biblioteca de al-Andalus and the other publications, together with their prices.
Over these prices we offer you a 5% discount. The delivery expenses will only be of 6 euros per 3 kgs of weight within Europe, and 8 euros overseas.

We are at your service for any inquiry you wish to make.

NEW BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT

Title: Second Language Instruction with Linguistic Awareness: Teaching Arabic to Speakers of English

Book Description:
This research-based book presents a study that examined the impact of explicit instruction in phonetics and the phonologies of English and Arabic on the development of sound production and recognition skills. The study utilized an intervention strategy that introduced the sounds and letters of Arabic to two groups of adult English-speaking learners of Arabic. The data strongly suggest that including an introductory component to articulatory phonetics and the phonologies of the first and target languages improves sound production and sound recognition skills of adult foreign language learners. These results are based on quantitative and qualitative data analysis and show statistically consistent differences in the sound production and sound recognition skills of the students in the two groups, with the students in the experimental group achieving higher scores than the students in the control group. The book provides recommendations for students, teachers, and curriculum developers.

About the Author:
Dr. Khaled Huthaily is a Fulbright scholar with an Ed.D. in Curriculum and Instruction, an M.A. in Applied Linguistics, and a B.A. in Education. He is working as Assistant Professor of Arabic and Linguistics at The University of Montana, USA. His areas of research include English-Arabic contrastive linguistics and curriculum development.

Subject: refs on gestures and taboos in Egypt

The information is rather old, but You might want to look at Desmond Morris' "Gestures", which covers a large number of emblematic gestures around the Europe and the Mediterranean (including the African side of the Med). Also Robert Barakat did a paper back in the 70s on emblems used in the Arab world. 

More  recently, you can check with Sue Duncan of the McNeill gesture lab at U Chicago. They are in the middle of transcribing a multimodal corpus, which includes Egyptian, Iraqi (of various kinds), and Gulf (UAE). All materials are on video, and the corpus consists of spoken language as well as McNeill-style gestural analysis.

Hope this helps,

-Dan.

Greetings.. ahalan wa sahlan...

Two references in English which include citations of some gestures as specific to Egypt are:

Arabic Gestures [article includes many illustrations], Robert Barakat, J. of Popular Culture,  6, 749-792, 1973

Arab Cultural Communication Patterns, Ellen Feghali, Intl. J. of Intercultural Relations [IJIR], 21, pp 345-378, 1997

Most everything else on Arab gestures I have seen published in the English and Arabic discuss the gestures and their semiotics common to the Eastern Mediterranean area or, more recently, the Arabian Peninsula and Gulf region, where more research has been done and published.

Look forward to responses and citations kindly provided by other subscribers to the list.

Hope this helps. Khair, in shaa' Allah.

Abstract:

Coptic was the language spoken in Egypt from late ancient times to the
seventeenth century, when it was overtaken by Arabic as the national
language. Derived from ancient Egyptian, the language of the hieroglyphs,
it was written in an adapted form of Greek script. This dictionary lists
about 2,000 Coptic words whose etymology has been established from ancient
Egyptian and Greek sources, covering two-thirds of the known Coptic
vocabulary and complementing W. E. Crum's 1939 Coptic Dictionary, still the
standard in the field. The Egyptian forms are quoted in hieroglyphic and/or
demotic forms. An appendix lists the etymologies of Coptic place-names. The
final work of Czech Egyptologist Jaroslav ?ern? (1898-1970), Professor of
Egyptology at Oxford, the Dictionary was brought through to publication by
colleagues after his death.

Subject: Poetry and the Body in the Arabic Novel

Dear Colleagues,

Koll sana w antom bekoll khair.

I'd like to inform you that two of my Arabic books are available now on Amazon and creatspace.

1- What Laila Said to Almajnoun, A Collection of Poems

The love story of Laila and her infatuated lover (Almajnoun) is the most common one in Arabic literature. We know what the Arab poet Almajnoun said to his beloved Laila but we know very little about what she said to him. This is a collection of poems that Laila might say to Almajnoun.

Order from:

https://www.createspace.com/3470854

2- The Body in the Contemporary Arabic Novel
"The Body in the Contemporary Arabic Novel: Position, Gesticulation and Notion" deals with three novels from three Arab countries. The book aims are searching for distinctions in body representations. 

Concerning the methodology, the book uses Narratology, Semiology, Cognitive Psychology, Kinesics and Proxemics. 

The Introduction portrays the body notion in the Gnostic Theory and the Arabic traditional texts dealing with human sexuality. It also depicts the body notion in contemporary discourses, disclosing the body notion in Modernism 

The first chapter scrutinizes the Gnostic representation of the body in the novel "at-Tibr" (Gold), by the Libyan novelist Ibrahim al-Kouny. The second chapter examines the ideological representation of the body in the Syrian novelist Haydar Haydar's "Walimah li A'ashaab al-Bahr" (A Banquet for Sea Weeds). The third chapter explores the mythological representation in the novel "Madinat al-Lad dah" (City of Pleasure), by the Egyptian novelist Ezzat al-Qamhaawy.

Salaam,
 
If your question is related to IPA fonts to transcribe the sounds of Arabic, here is a link where you can download IPA fonts for free:
http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?item_id=encore-ipa 
 
However, one issue with those fonts is that the dental diacritic is not placed correctly below the /t/ and /d/. The font that I use in my works and publications is e-PhonTranslit UNI. It correctly puts the diactritics in their places. [It is for free, but see the copyright note]. Here is the link:
http://www.uni-hamburg.de/Wiss/FB/10/IndienS/Kniprath/INDOLIPI/Indolipi.htm 
 
Once you save the font(s) in the "Fonts" folder, which is in the "Windows" folder, they will be part of the "system fonts" and should work in any word processing program, regardless of its version/edition. In MS Word, you can use the "insert symbol" button and navigate to the "e-PhonTranslit UNI" font. Make sure you embed the fonts (or save the Word file as PDF) to see the fonts in the file when it is opened on a computer that does not have the same fonts.
 
I hope this helps, and I am sorry for sending this long e-mail and repeating things that you might already be very familiar with.
 
Enjoy the weekend.

Try Gentium. It's free, it's unicode, it looks nice and it's very easy to use once you have installed your own keyuboard shortcuts. You can download it for instance on :

Subject: Proper names which have lost the Al- prefix

Hello everyone,

First thanks a lot for the all the responses I got about transcription fonts. 

I want to ask this time about examples of proper names in Arabic that are attached with the definite marker al-. I know this was maybe more common in pre-Islamic and Islamic eras, but I am interested in examples of names which had al as part of it in those days but then in modern times lost the al, such as ???????     ?????. Do you know more examples like this?

Thanks a lot.

Subject: Need electronic text from19th early 20th centuries

I have been contacted about providing search capabilities so that a scholar can search early Arabic newspapers from the latter part of the 19th century and the early part of the 20th century in order to do studies on the introduction and change in meaning and use of particular words.  It occurs to me that if such a capability were available, many scholars would be interested.  I have volunteered to make the engine of the arabiCorpus.byu.edu tool available for any such project.  We could divide it, for example, by decades, so that scholars could see the development of how words are actually used over time.  However, this would require the existence of a digitized version of a reasonable amount of this text. If anyone either has such a thing or knows where it might be obtained, please let us know.  In addition to newspaper and magazine text, any electronic texts from this period (basically 1800-1920 or even 1950) would be welcome.
Thanks.
