Arabic (SA) accented English for native English (British and American) 
listeners and Dutch listeners who use English as a lingua franca. The 
intelligibility of SA-accented English is compared with that of native English.

The study also investigates how well the SA students of English identify 
English sounds and recognize English words in simple sentences spoken by 
a native English speaker. The perception tests show that the intelligibility of 
SA-accented English is predominantly compromised by incorrect 
pronunciation of the English vowels. This finding was predicted from a 
contrastive analysis of the Arabic and English sound inventories.The SA 
students of English produced the vowels, consonants and consonant clusters 
of English in controlled materials. Acoustic analyses were carried out in order 
to establish the differences in pronunciation between SA-accented and native 
British pronunciation. The comparison revealed substantial discrepancies 
between the native and non-native varieties, which can be used to explain the 
degraded intelligibility of SA-accented English.

Written questionnaires were administered in which both SA students of 
English and their instructors were asked to identify strengths and 
weaknesses in the students' production and perception of English sounds 
and words, and to speculate on the underlying causes of the difficulties. The 
results show that the SA students as well as their instructors have clear 
intuitions on where the weaknesses are, and that these intuitions correspond 
closely to the findings of the perception experiments and the acoustic 
analyses.

This book is of relevance to (applied) linguists and language teachers in 
general and to specialists on the teaching of English pronunciation and 
listening skills to university students with an Arabic native language 
background.

Subject: APA panel on reception of Arabic Literature


Apologies for cross-posting.Note that "literature" is not construed as
belles lettres alone, and that "receptions" embraces all modes of
reception, not simply translation.
CFP: Islamic and Arabic Receptions of Classical Literature

*Sponsored by the APA Committee on Classical Tradition and Reception*

The American Philological Association’s  Committee on Classical Tradition
and Reception invites submissions for a panel to be held at the 2013 annual
meeting of the APA in Seattle, Washington, on the topic of “Islamic and
Arabic Receptions of Classical Literature.”

We seek contributions which examine the Arabic translation of Greek
literature as an active process of creative production, not simply as a
vehicle for preserving and transmitting lost (or better) witnesses of
classical texts. Such a perspective has been most forcefully and
persuasively championed over the past two decades by A. I. Sabra and
Dimitri Gutas, both insisting that any properly historical treatment of the
Arabic reception of Greek texts must take into account the precise contexts
informing the conscious appropriation and adaptation of ancient works for
specific constituencies and audiences. At the same time, we encourage
papers that question the role played by Islam in this process, that is the
degree to which "Islam " as such can explain the selection, rejection,
and/or modification of Classical material by Arabic translators. We hope
that the panel will underline the need for an essentially contextual, i.e.
historical, approach to classical receptions, and will offer implications
for understanding other cultural receptions as well.

Proposals for papers taking no more than twenty minutes to deliver should
be sent via email attachment (in Word or Open Office format) to Dr. Paul
Kimball (pkimball at bilkent.edu.tr) no later than *January 15, 2011*. Please
follow the program committee's suggestions for preparing individual
abstracts as specified in the APA Program
Guide<http://apaclassics.org/index.php/annual_meeting/program_guide>.
APA membership is normally required to participate and must be verified
before proposals are considered. However, waivers may be granted to
scholars residing outside North America or working in allied fields such as
Islamic history or Arabic studies. All submissions will be subject to
double-blind review by two referees and the panel as a whole evaluated by
the APA Program Committee before notification of final acceptance.

Subject:Symposium on Clause Linking in Semitic Languages

Invitation and call for papers for
International Symposium on Clause Linking in Semitic Languages, 5-7 August 2012 in Kivik, Sweden
 
The symposium welcomes papers dealing with clause linking in all varieties of Semitic languages. A strong incentive for the symposium is the renewed interest in recent years in the nature of non-main clause linking, which has brought into focus the concept of a main line and digressions from this main line in various discourse types. Recent research has also questioned the traditional view that non-main clauses must be introduced by a conjunction (Dixon 2009, Givón 2001, 299, Isaksson et al. 2009).
 
The conference committee invites scholars to submit papers on all related topics with emphasis on "ways of combining clauses other than through relative clause and complement clause constructions" (Dixon 2009, 1). Specific areas of interest are:
 
- the concept of a main line and digressions from a main line
- features of specific discourse types in the coding of a main line and its digressions
- the use and non-use of conjunction in non-main clause linking
- the use and function of gram-switching in clause linking (Fleischman 1985, 1990)
- non-main clauses functioning as focal clauses (Dixon 2009, 4)
- the nature and coding of conditional clause linking
- the encoding of hierarchies in non-main clause linking (non-main clauses having mutually "unequal status", Halliday 2004, 374)
 
Important dates and practical information:
Dead-line for abstracts: 2 May 2012.
Conference fee: 800 SEK (25% VAT included). To be paid according to instructions on the conference website. Online payment is enabled. Information on other alternatives will be posted closer to the conference date.
Dead-line for payment: 25 May 2012.
Venue: Agda Lund Hotel, Kivik, Sweden.
Accommodation: The conference board has reserved accommodation for the participants at Hanöbris Hotel. The whole hotel, located at walking distance from the conference venue, is reserved for the conference and this is also where all conference dinners will be served. Participants who wish to stay at the hotel need to make a reservation through the conference website. The accommodation cost is paid directly to the hotel upon arrival. More information on costs and alternatives as well as instructions on how to make a reservation at Hanöbris Hotel online will be posted closer to the conference date.

Dear Friends,

Ahlan wa-sahlan.

Would you know of any Arabic tongue-twisters?  These are fun little devices to practice the pronunciation of minimal pairs (among other things).  I do not know of any in Arabic.  Examples in English include:

"She sells seashells by the seashore"

"Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers"

Thanks very much.

Cheers,
Abu Sammy

Subject: Google Translate Cautionary Tale


All of us have some relatively hilarious examples of Google Translations from Arabic, even though at other times the results are impressive.  I was recently in a restaurant in Amman where the 'sit-down' menu was reasonably translated, but I picked up the 'take-out' menu on the way in, and as I looked over it I couldn't stop laughing.  When I got home, I started looking up the items on the Arabic side of the menu, and found that the whole thing had come, lock stock and barrel, from Google translate.  It was so wonderful that I thought it would make a wonderful cautionary tale for students on the mindless use of Google Translate (or of any other dictionary aid).  It is also a great example of what I call the massive 'graphical' ambiguity of Arabic, which makes the authomatic computer understanding of Arabic problematic.  (Here we have salaTa and SulTa spelled the same, as well as Haara and Haarra).  And there is also, of course, the just plain ambiguity, without the graphical part (compare xiyaar cucumber with xiyaar choice; Habba as piece, pill, bead).  I can send you a pdf of the two sides of the actual menu if you like. But here I will just type in the two sides of the menu.  (My favorites are Power Hot Hot, Turkish Authority Lane, and Option of Milk--sounds good doesn't it?)

I'll type the English on top.  You can then scroll down to check what it says in Arabic if you can't figure it out from the English.  If you don't have time to look over the whole thing, just look at the list of hot and cold salads near the end.

It is also interesting to note that Google Translate often gets common things right when they are in phrases (Greek Salad), but in less common combinations, those same things go terribly wrong (Turkish Authority Lane).  I'd be interested in any other insights.

This is a study on the pronunciation and perception of English sounds and 
words by university students of English in Sudan, whose native language is 
Sudanese Arabic. The study aims to establish the intelligibility of Sudanese-
Arabic (SA) accented English for native English (British and American) 
listeners and Dutch listeners who use English as a lingua franca. The 
intelligibility of SA-accented English is compared with that of native English.

The study also investigates how well the SA students of English identify 
English sounds and recognize English words in simple sentences spoken by 
a native English speaker. The perception tests show that the intelligibility of 
SA-accented English is predominantly compromised by incorrect 
pronunciation of the English vowels. This finding was predicted from a 
contrastive analysis of the Arabic and English sound inventories.The SA 
students of English produced the vowels, consonants and consonant clusters 
of English in controlled materials. Acoustic analyses were carried out in order 
to establish the differences in pronunciation between SA-accented and native 
British pronunciation. The comparison revealed substantial discrepancies 
between the native and non-native varieties, which can be used to explain the 
degraded intelligibility of SA-accented English.

Written questionnaires were administered in which both SA students of 
English and their instructors were asked to identify strengths and 
weaknesses in the students' production and perception of English sounds 
and words, and to speculate on the underlying causes of the difficulties. The 
results show that the SA students as well as their instructors have clear 
intuitions on where the weaknesses are, and that these intuitions correspond 
closely to the findings of the perception experiments and the acoustic 
analyses.

This book is of relevance to (applied) linguists and language teachers in 
general and to specialists on the teaching of English pronunciation and 
listening skills to university students with an Arabic native language 
background.

Subject: APA panel on reception of Arabic Literature


Apologies for cross-posting.Note that "literature" is not construed as
belles lettres alone, and that "receptions" embraces all modes of
reception, not simply translation.
CFP: Islamic and Arabic Receptions of Classical Literature

*Sponsored by the APA Committee on Classical Tradition and Reception*

The American Philological Association?s  Committee on Classical Tradition
and Reception invites submissions for a panel to be held at the 2013 annual
meeting of the APA in Seattle, Washington, on the topic of ?Islamic and
Arabic Receptions of Classical Literature.?

We seek contributions which examine the Arabic translation of Greek
literature as an active process of creative production, not simply as a
vehicle for preserving and transmitting lost (or better) witnesses of
classical texts. Such a perspective has been most forcefully and
persuasively championed over the past two decades by A. I. Sabra and
Dimitri Gutas, both insisting that any properly historical treatment of the
Arabic reception of Greek texts must take into account the precise contexts
informing the conscious appropriation and adaptation of ancient works for
specific constituencies and audiences. At the same time, we encourage
papers that question the role played by Islam in this process, that is the
degree to which "Islam " as such can explain the selection, rejection,
and/or modification of Classical material by Arabic translators. We hope
that the panel will underline the need for an essentially contextual, i.e.
historical, approach to classical receptions, and will offer implications
for understanding other cultural receptions as well.

Proposals for papers taking no more than twenty minutes to deliver should
be sent via email attachment (in Word or Open Office format) to Dr. Paul
Kimball (pkimball at bilkent.edu.tr) no later than *January 15, 2011*. Please
follow the program committee's suggestions for preparing individual
abstracts as specified in the APA Program
Guide<http://apaclassics.org/index.php/annual_meeting/program_guide>.
APA membership is normally required to participate and must be verified
before proposals are considered. However, waivers may be granted to
scholars residing outside North America or working in allied fields such as
Islamic history or Arabic studies. All submissions will be subject to
double-blind review by two referees and the panel as a whole evaluated by
the APA Program Committee before notification of final acceptance.

Subject:Symposium on Clause Linking in Semitic Languages

Invitation and call for papers for
International Symposium on Clause Linking in Semitic Languages, 5-7 August 2012 in Kivik, Sweden
 
The symposium welcomes papers dealing with clause linking in all varieties of Semitic languages. A strong incentive for the symposium is the renewed interest in recent years in the nature of non-main clause linking, which has brought into focus the concept of a main line and digressions from this main line in various discourse types. Recent research has also questioned the traditional view that non-main clauses must be introduced by a conjunction (Dixon 2009, Giv?n 2001, 299, Isaksson et al. 2009).
 
The conference committee invites scholars to submit papers on all related topics with emphasis on "ways of combining clauses other than through relative clause and complement clause constructions" (Dixon 2009, 1). Specific areas of interest are:
 
- the concept of a main line and digressions from a main line
- features of specific discourse types in the coding of a main line and its digressions
- the use and non-use of conjunction in non-main clause linking
- the use and function of gram-switching in clause linking (Fleischman 1985, 1990)
- non-main clauses functioning as focal clauses (Dixon 2009, 4)
- the nature and coding of conditional clause linking
- the encoding of hierarchies in non-main clause linking (non-main clauses having mutually "unequal status", Halliday 2004, 374)
 
Important dates and practical information:
Dead-line for abstracts: 2 May 2012.
Conference fee: 800 SEK (25% VAT included). To be paid according to instructions on the conference website. Online payment is enabled. Information on other alternatives will be posted closer to the conference date.
Dead-line for payment: 25 May 2012.
Venue: Agda Lund Hotel, Kivik, Sweden.
Accommodation: The conference board has reserved accommodation for the participants at Han?bris Hotel. The whole hotel, located at walking distance from the conference venue, is reserved for the conference and this is also where all conference dinners will be served. Participants who wish to stay at the hotel need to make a reservation through the conference website. The accommodation cost is paid directly to the hotel upon arrival. More information on costs and alternatives as well as instructions on how to make a reservation at Han?bris Hotel online will be posted closer to the conference date.

Dear Friends,

Ahlan wa-sahlan.

Would you know of any Arabic tongue-twisters?  These are fun little devices to practice the pronunciation of minimal pairs (among other things).  I do not know of any in Arabic.  Examples in English include:

"She sells seashells by the seashore"

"Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers"

Thanks very much.

Cheers,
Abu Sammy

Subject: Google Translate Cautionary Tale


All of us have some relatively hilarious examples of Google Translations from Arabic, even though at other times the results are impressive.  I was recently in a restaurant in Amman where the 'sit-down' menu was reasonably translated, but I picked up the 'take-out' menu on the way in, and as I looked over it I couldn't stop laughing.  When I got home, I started looking up the items on the Arabic side of the menu, and found that the whole thing had come, lock stock and barrel, from Google translate.  It was so wonderful that I thought it would make a wonderful cautionary tale for students on the mindless use of Google Translate (or of any other dictionary aid).  It is also a great example of what I call the massive 'graphical' ambiguity of Arabic, which makes the authomatic computer understanding of Arabic problematic.  (Here we have salaTa and SulTa spelled the same, as well as Haara and Haarra).  And there is also, of course, the just plain ambiguity, without the graphical part (compare xiyaar cucumber with xiyaar choice; Habba as piece, pill, bead).  I can send you a pdf of the two sides of the actual menu if you like. But here I will just type in the two sides of the menu.  (My favorites are Power Hot Hot, Turkish Authority Lane, and Option of Milk--sounds good doesn't it?)

I'll type the English on top.  You can then scroll down to check what it says in Arabic if you can't figure it out from the English.  If you don't have time to look over the whole thing, just look at the list of hot and cold salads near the end.

It is also interesting to note that Google Translate often gets common things right when they are in phrases (Greek Salad), but in less common combinations, those same things go terribly wrong (Turkish Authority Lane).  I'd be interested in any other insights.
