Subject: Arabi Liblib vo. 3

The third volume of "Arabi Liblib," by Kamal AlEkhnawy and Jamal Ali,
is basically a reference work covering Egyptian idiomatic expressions.
It will list idioms in alphabetical order in Arabic. Each entry will
give the idiom, followed by an explanation of its meaning and usage in
Egyptian Arabic, then a translation of the idiom into English. This
particular volume is not out yet, but will probably be out in the fall
some time.

In Arabic this would be قولاً وعملا "qawlan wa 9amalan." In the same vein, "to talk the talk but not walk the walk" would translate to: قولاً وليس عملا

ARABIC EQUIVALENTS FOR "WALK THE TALK", "WALK THE WALK" AND "TALK THE TALK"
Hello,
 
Arabs typically use a number of expressions to refer to the discrepancy between action and words.  One expression other than ‘walk the talk’ in English is, of course, ‘actions speaker louder than words’, but in Arabic, here is what comes to mind at this point:
 
·         The first expression is perhaps the closest you can get to the English equivalent, and this is taken from the Quran:
o    يقولون ما لا يفعلون – They say that which they do not do.  This is an indication of hypocrisy. 
·         The second expression is used when it noted that someone tries dissuade you, in words, from doing something they themselves do:
o   ينهي عن خلق ويأتي بمثله:  forbidding you (in words) from doing something while performing actions that illustrate the (verbal) forbidding.
·         The third expression, a grinding metaphor, is used when there is too much talk and no action to accompany that talk: 
o   تسمع جعجعة لا ترى طحنا – You hear (much) roaring/fanfare/grinding noise, but you see no powder.
·         The fourth expression comes from a celebrated poem by Arab poet Abu Tammam, and is a variation on these three.  It says in traditional warfare terms that when you see an action performed, this action is truer, more concrete than a piece of news that appears in a book.  Here is focused is shifted from speaking and hearsay to news in writing.  That something appears in print does not make it a fact:
o   السيف أصدق أنباء من الكتب :: في حده الحد بين الجد واللعب  The sword represents truer news than (written) books::On its edge is the edge/line between seriousness and play.
 
I hope this helps.

Dear Dilworth,

CALPER at Penn State and LARC at San Diego State present a new webinar series on assessment that we will host throughout the year. Intended to provide an engaging professional development opportunity for language educators, we invite our colleagues to participate in the first webinar.

LARC/CALPER Webinar on Assessment

"Foreign Language Classroom Assessment in Support of Teaching and Learning"

Matthew E. Poehner, Penn State

Foreign language teachers must balance their commitment to meeting learner needs and promoting learner language abilities with their responsibility to generate grades and document learner progress toward curricular objectives. 

Large-scale, formal testing practices lead many to view teaching and assessment as distinct or even competing activities that classroom practitioners must choose between. 

The focus of this webinar is on how assessment may be conceived not as a separate undertaking but rather as a perspective on teaching and learning activities - that is, a way of looking at regular classroom activities as sources of information regarding forms of learner participation and contribution, difficulties they encounter, and forms of support they require to progress. 

This way of thinking about assessment's relation to teaching resonates with recent calls for an Assessment-for-Learning framework, which underscores the relevance to instructional decisions of insights into learner abilities that are gained through informal assessments. It also draws heavily upon the recent innovation of Dynamic Assessment as a principled approach to integrating teaching and assessment as a single activity that supports learners to stretch beyond their current language abilities. 

Examples of classroom interactions intended to serve both instructional and evaluative purposes will be presented. 

Participants will be invited to critically examine these examples and, through discussion, to derive principles for teaching and assessing to promote language learning.

Date and Time 
February 10, 2011
3:30 - 4:40pm Eastern / 12:30 - 1:40pm Pacific

Subject: Arabic apps query, and AP Arabic

Dear All:
 
My school is entertaining the idea of introducing ipads in the classroom. We already have smartboards, and laptops in our classrooms and all my Arabic class lessons are prepared interactively by using the smartboard and several softwares (Prezi, Moodle, etc..).
In April, I will be attending the following conference:
iCreate. iInnovate. iLearn. Effective Strategies for Integrating the iPad into Your Curriculum:

http://www.nysais.org/page.cfm?id=1161&verbose=1072

At this point my question is , will there be any Arabic educational Apps that can correlate with print-edition books such as Al-Kitaab or other creative and interesting Arabic Apps?
 
 
Also, is there any news about having AP Arabic? We the Arabic language teachers in the High school level, are competing with the Chinese language and since Chinese has an AP, although  students would like to learn Arabic, but  since we do not have AP many prefer to  join the Chinese classes.
 
I have 4 classes of Arabic and hope soon we can have AP !
 
Thank you,

Subject: Second Research Study Request for Native Arabic Instructors 

Dear Arabic-L Community,

We are graduate students in the Department of Teaching and Learning at New York University and are in need of participants to take part in a research study on the perceptions and practices of first-year, native-speaker Arabic instructors. We would like to better understand how Arabic teachers’ perceptions of student needs influence their classroom teaching practices.

If you are a native speaker of Arabic, and are currently teaching a first year Arabic language course (first or second semester) at the college or university level, please consider participating in this interesting and timely project! You can contact us through email at bc210 at nyu.edu, or by phone at (610) 597-0100. If you would prefer to contact us by regular mail, the address is

Beth Clark-Gareca and/or Tasha Darbes
Department of Teaching and Learning
239 Greene Street, 6th Floor
New York, NY 10003

Thank you very much,

Beth Clark-Gareca, PhD Candidate, Department of Teaching and Learning

The Fresh Language Scene Attending the Current Arab Revolts
 
The ongoing popular revolts in the Arab World have not only disrupted and upturned the long-stagnant political scene in the region, but have of a sudden disrupted and energized the lethargic linguistic scene as well. The revolts in Tunisia and Egypt, and the popular bestirrings in other Arab countries, have exposed the hollowness of defunct official discourses (of regimes and their symbiotic traditional oppositions alike) contrasting them with new young and lively discourses arising in the street. Examples of this could be seen in the use of new catchy slogans in both Arabic Standard and Colloquials (e.g.إذا الشعب يوما أراد الحياة  ,  تونس حرّة حرّة بن علي برّه برّه ,  الشعب يريد إسقاط النظام , مش عايزينك  etc. ), the formulaic Arabic used by the presidents and their old guard, the use of “Facebook” Arabic, the effective marrying of Standard to regional colloquials on Satellite TV stations, the confused prevaricating English of the White House, the variety of rhetorics adopted by regional and international media (unequivocally pro-street on Aljazeera, regimes-friendly on Al-Arabia, editorial enthusiasm on Al-Hurra that often conflicts with official US positions, angry tones of CNN crews beaten by pro-regime thugs, Israeli newsmen torn between enthusiasm and trepidation, etc.).
 
This panel seeks to explore and understand the various manifestations of this new linguistic scene forming around the popular Arab revolts and the various discourses and language phenomena at work in it. If you are interested in presenting a paper in this panel, please email an abstract of about 300-400 words to Muhamed Al Khalil (muhamed.alkhalil at nyu.edu) by February 14 . You can also email me to discuss your thoughts before you submit your abstract. I myself plan to present a paper on the reinvigorated use of Arabic poetry in the revolts and the implications for the art and its future.

SPECIAL ISSUE OF THE TAL JOURNAL

Deadline for submission: 27 February 2011

editors of the issue straight away:

CALL FOR PAPERS:

Computational morphology has become over the years one of the
Computational Linguistics subfields, with an annual competition, Morpho
Challenge and a recurring workshop, SigMorPhon. The objectives of the
Morpho Challenge evaluation campaigns are to compare the results and
algorithms of various morphological systems on a task of morpheme
segmentation and analysis. The competition  involves five languages :
English, German, Finnish, Turkish and Arabic. The researches presented
at the SigMorPhon workshops deal on the whole with phonology and morphology.

Besides these objectives, systems centered on morphology produce other
information, of a linguistic nature, in the course of the processes they
perform.  And these results are particularly relevant to the special
issue we propose. The issue aims at exploring the situation of
morphology with respect to its established interfaces such as:

* phonology,
* syntax,
* semantics,
* lexicon,

but also its connections with cognitive processes and language acquisition.

Therefore, submitted papers should not be limited to the presentation of
results of competitions. Rather, the themes of this issue include all
studies dealing computationally with any complex matter related to
derivation or compounding. Original models of inflectional morphology
are also welcome. The studies can be concerned with the morphology of
the general language, but also with that of specialty domains languages.
Studies may have to do with French as well as with any other language in
the world; the described systems may be monolingual or multilingual.

Papers on specific applications in NLP and linguistics are also welcome,
including:

* machine translation
* information retrieval
* terminology
* language typology
* dialectology
* evolution of languages and phylogenetics

Subject: Grammar query

Dear readers,

I have come across an Arabic sentence which interestingly combines the 
grammatical constraints implied by "'anna and its sisters" with the 
constraints implied by "kaana and its sisters".

The sentence is:

واضاف ان احد اهداف القمة سيكون "جعل وقف اطلاق النار دائما".

It can be glossed as:

And he added that one of the goals of the summit will be "making the 
ceasefire permanent".


Let me ask your opinions about the grammatical role of the word جعل 
"making" and its case ending that you perceive as correct and/or 
natural. Which phrase is the subject, and which one is the predicate 
of the clause after ان "that", please? Which one is the topic, and 
which one is the focus? If سيكون "will be" were omitted, would the 
status of جعل "making" change?


Thank you very much for your comments.


Best regards and wishes,

Otakar Smrz

Subject: Naming the recent events in Egypt

I am interested in how well-known events get 'named', and what processes lead to particular names 'sticking'.  For example, participants in the recent events in Egypt expressed annoyance when some news organizations referred to them as 'protests' rather than as a 'revolution'.  Further, it seemed to me (although I could be wrong) that certain non-Egyptian news organizations consistently used 'Lotus' to refer to the Egyptian events, but that this was never adopted in the Egyptian press.  I used search to come up with the following list of references to the events in the various newspapers listed.  I would happy to hear of any additions or any insights into this naming process that other readers have come to.

Subject: word form list from arabiCorpus

A couple of people asked me about a word frequency list from arabiCorpus.  Of course, arabiCorpus is an unlemmatized corpus, so it is impossible to create a word frequency list for it.  However, it is possible to create a 'word form' list, meaning that every distinct graphemic word form is counted separately.  This means that يكتب is counted separately not only from تكتب, but also from ويكتب، يكتبه، , فيكتب, ليكتب, etc.  Anyway, I have produced such a list, and have made it available for download at the following url: 

arabiCorpus.byu.edu/wordFormListSource.html

Once you get there, click on the folder, click on the file you want to download, and choose 'more' from the sub-menu, which lets you choose 'download'.  There is an info file which explains what the different files are.

Abstract:

With a written history of nearly five thousand years, the Semitic languages
comprise one of the world's earliest attested and longest attested
families. Well known members of the family include Arabic, Hebrew, Aramaic,
Amharic, and Akkadian. This volume provides an overview of this important
language family, including both ancient and modern languages. After a brief
introduction to the history of the family and its internal classification,
subsequent chapters cover topics in phonology, morphology, syntax, and
lexicon. Each chapter describes features that are characteristic of the
Semitic language family as a whole, as well as some of the more
extraordinary developments that take place in the individual languages.
This provides both a typological overview and a description of more unique
features. The chapters contain abundant examples from numerous languages.
All the examples include morpheme by morpheme glosses, as well as
translations, which help make these examples clear and accessible even to
those not familiar with a given language. Concluding the book is a detailed
guide to further reading, which directs the reader to the most important
reference tools and secondary literature, and an up-to-date bibliography.
This brief introduction contains a rich variety of data, and covers topics
not normally found in short sketches such as this. The clarity of
presentation makes it useful not only to those in the field of Semitic
linguistics, but also to the general linguist or language enthusiast who
wishes to learn something about this important language family.

The subject of the 'anna clause is 'aHad 'ahdaaf Alqimma, and the predicate (or xabar kaan if you like) is all the rest of the words after the sayakuun.  The word ja9l is marked with a fatha, accusative, because the whole idaafa is xabar kaan.  If you took out the sayakuun it would just be a regular predicate and would be voweled with a damma, nominative.  My reading makes 'one of the goals of the summit' the topic.  I'm not sure what the term 'focus' refers to so I can't identify a focus.

Subject: Naming Egypt events

On Twitter, which was widely used to mobilize protestors and disseminate information over the past few weeks, the hashtag #Jan25 (and occasionally #25Jan) gained broad currency in marking messages ("tweets") related to the protests/revolution. (There were others, like #tahrir, but this one seemed the most common.) One can see here  (http://hashtags.org/Jan25) that at 11 AM on Feb 11, 1.35% of all messages on Twitter were marked with this tag.

Given the crucial role of young, internet-savvy Egyptians in the revolution—as well as Egyptians' apparent predilection for events named after dates generally (e.g., 6 October, July 23)—I wouldn't be surprised if the Jan 25 tag sticks.

I know that this is not the answer you're looking for, but a colleague of mine at Duke, Frances Hasso, has coined the term "1/11 Revolutions." We can now speak of pre- and post-1/11 just as for the past 9 1/2 years we have spoken of pre- and post- 9/11.  Best, Nadia

Subject: Naming Egypt events

Dear Dil,

Thanks a lot for this list, it is indeed interesting to see how this revolution was named, and even how the names kept on changing each day with new developments.

I personally think that the name ثورة اللوتس understandably didn't get picked up in Egyptian press because it is would seem so historically moved from the present mood, the lotus is always associated with the phaoronic era and the mood was all about changing the present with an eye for the future.. Another reason, in my opinion, is that it seemed a cheesy attempt to mirror ثورة الياسمين in Tunisia.. I mean, there was a lot in common between the two cases but we shouldn't really push it..

I would add to the list 2 more names: ثورة التغيير - الثورة البيضاء

The other thing that might be worth noting is the kind of language used by the people in their chants and on their signs during the revolution. I was especially interested to see the contribution of standard Arabic (e.g. الشعب يريد اسقاط النظام), and of Egyptian Arabic (e.g. مش هنمشي، هو يمشي) and the influence of the English language (e.g. Hit the Road Mubarak). 

Finally, whatever its name, it was a historic two-week period in Egyptian history, and definitely the most exciting period my generation will ever see.. I am flying to Cairo myself in a couple of days, and can't wait to actually stand in Midan El Tahrir for the first time after the revolution :)

Somewhat off the main subject, it annoyed me terribly when blow hard American media bigmouths like Chris Matthews (who by the way supported Mubarak) persisted in calling the demonstrations "riots" and the  demonstrators "rioters"

I think if al sharq al awsat was using "lotus" it was aping Western news sources. (It is, after all, a mouthpiece for the Saudi royal family, and by a rather roundabout route then Neo con in orientation). 

The news sources I was following did not use the term lotus at all, as if it had never been uttered anywhere.  But I was mostly glued to al jazeera, occasionally reading the Lebanese al akhbar, about the only Arab paper worth reading - that and al Masry al Youm.

Dr. Aleya Rouchdy ("Dr. Aleya Rouchdy" <ad5006 at wayne.edu>) tried to post a number of photo's of posters used in the revolution, but this listserv only allows me to post plain text  messages.  She noted the mixing of colloquial and standard, humor and anger.  If you wish to see the posters you could contact her.  Both she and her husband were in Egypt at the time, and have interesting posts about it, and Arabic in general, on their blogs:

DescriptionContentsSubjects
A Frequency Dictionary of Arabic is an invaluable tool for all learners of Arabic, providing a list of the 5,000 most frequently used words in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) as well as several of the most widely spoken Arabic dialects.

Based on a 30-million-word corpus of Arabic which includes written and spoken material from the entire Arab world, this dictionary provides the user with detailed information for each of the 5,000 entries, including English equivalents, a sample sentence, its English translation, usage statistics, an indication of genre variation, and usage distribution over several major Arabic dialects.

Users can access the top 5,000 words either through the main frequency listing or through an alphabetical index arranged by Arabic roots. Throughout the frequency listing there are thematically-organized lists of the top words from a variety of key topics such as sports, weather, clothing, and family terms.

An engaging and highly useful resource, A Frequency Dictionary of Arabic will enable students of all levels to get the most out of their study of modern Arabic vocabulary.

A CD version is available to purchase separately. Designed for use by corpus and computational linguists it provides the full text in a format that researchers can process and turn into suitable lists for their own research work.

Tim Buckwalter is Research Associate at the University of Maryland.

Dilworth Parkinson is Professor of Arabic at Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah.

Subject: Needs Classical Arabic 'novels'

Dear all,
I am looking for classical Arabic fiction novels. I consider Arabian nights as one although it is similar to short stories. I know "Kaleela and Dimna" but I think it is translated to Arabic. I would appreciate if anyone suggest to me other names for fiction classical novels written originally in Arabic.
Thank you very much.

Subject: Arabi Liblib vo. 3

The third volume of "Arabi Liblib," by Kamal AlEkhnawy and Jamal Ali,
is basically a reference work covering Egyptian idiomatic expressions.
It will list idioms in alphabetical order in Arabic. Each entry will
give the idiom, followed by an explanation of its meaning and usage in
Egyptian Arabic, then a translation of the idiom into English. This
particular volume is not out yet, but will probably be out in the fall
some time.

ARABIC EQUIVALENTS FOR "WALK THE TALK", "WALK THE WALK" AND "TALK THE TALK"
Hello,
 
Arabs typically use a number of expressions to refer to the discrepancy between action and words.  One expression other than ?walk the talk? in English is, of course, ?actions speaker louder than words?, but in Arabic, here is what comes to mind at this point:
 
?         The first expression is perhaps the closest you can get to the English equivalent, and this is taken from the Quran:
o    ?????? ?? ?? ?????? ? They say that which they do not do.  This is an indication of hypocrisy. 
?         The second expression is used when it noted that someone tries dissuade you, in words, from doing something they themselves do:
o   ???? ?? ??? ????? ?????:  forbidding you (in words) from doing something while performing actions that illustrate the (verbal) forbidding.
?         The third expression, a grinding metaphor, is used when there is too much talk and no action to accompany that talk: 
o   ???? ????? ?? ??? ???? ? You hear (much) roaring/fanfare/grinding noise, but you see no powder.
?         The fourth expression comes from a celebrated poem by Arab poet Abu Tammam, and is a variation on these three.  It says in traditional warfare terms that when you see an action performed, this action is truer, more concrete than a piece of news that appears in a book.  Here is focused is shifted from speaking and hearsay to news in writing.  That something appears in print does not make it a fact:
o   ????? ???? ????? ?? ????? :: ?? ??? ???? ??? ???? ??????  The sword represents truer news than (written) books::On its edge is the edge/line between seriousness and play.
 
I hope this helps.

Professional Development
Join the Live Broadcast

Dear Dilworth,

CALPER at Penn State and LARC at San Diego State present a new webinar series on assessment that we will host throughout the year. Intended to provide an engaging professional development opportunity for language educators, we invite our colleagues to participate in the first webinar.   

Cordially,
Jim Lantolf and Karen Johnson (CALPER)

LARC/CALPER Webinar on Assessment

"Foreign Language Classroom Assessment in Support of Teaching and Learning"

Matthew E. Poehner, Penn State

Foreign language teachers must balance their commitment to meeting learner needs and promoting learner language abilities with their responsibility to generate grades and document learner progress toward curricular objectives. 

Large-scale, formal testing practices lead many to view teaching and assessment as distinct or even competing activities that classroom practitioners must choose between. 

The focus of this webinar is on how assessment may be conceived not as a separate undertaking but rather as a perspective on teaching and learning activities - that is, a way of looking at regular classroom activities as sources of information regarding forms of learner participation and contribution, difficulties they encounter, and forms of support they require to progress. 

This way of thinking about assessment's relation to teaching resonates with recent calls for an Assessment-for-Learning framework, which underscores the relevance to instructional decisions of insights into learner abilities that are gained through informal assessments. It also draws heavily upon the recent innovation of Dynamic Assessment as a principled approach to integrating teaching and assessment as a single activity that supports learners to stretch beyond their current language abilities. 

Examples of classroom interactions intended to serve both instructional and evaluative purposes will be presented. 

Participants will be invited to critically examine these examples and, through discussion, to derive principles for teaching and assessing to promote language learning.

Date and Time 
February 10, 2011
3:30 - 4:40pm Eastern / 12:30 - 1:40pm Pacific

Description: Applications are invited for two research posts (one post-doc, one research assistant) at the University of Qatar and one PhD studentship at the University of Manchester taking part in a project on Arabic Speech Recognition funded by the Qatar National Research Fund.  The aim of the project is to develop a system for understanding spoken Arabic, by using standard speech recognition techniques to produce an approximate transcription of the input speech and then refining this approximate transcription to a full understanding by applying a range of linguistic techniques. The speech recognition will be carried out using some externally supplied speech recognition toolkit ( HTK).

Subject: Arabic apps query, and AP Arabic

Dear All:
 
My school is entertaining the idea of introducing ipads in the classroom. We already have smartboards, and laptops in our classrooms and all my Arabic class lessons are prepared interactively by using the smartboard and several softwares (Prezi, Moodle, etc..).
In April, I will be attending the following conference:
iCreate. iInnovate. iLearn. Effective Strategies for Integrating the iPad into Your Curriculum:

http://www.nysais.org/page.cfm?id=1161&verbose=1072

At this point my question is , will there be any Arabic educational Apps that can correlate with print-edition books such as Al-Kitaab or other creative and interesting Arabic Apps?
 
 
Also, is there any news about having AP Arabic? We the Arabic language teachers in the High school level, are competing with the Chinese language and since Chinese has an AP, although  students would like to learn Arabic, but  since we do not have AP many prefer to  join the Chinese classes.
 
I have 4 classes of Arabic and hope soon we can have AP !
 
Thank you,
 
Mimi Melkonian

The Fresh Language Scene Attending the Current Arab Revolts
 
The ongoing popular revolts in the Arab World have not only disrupted and upturned the long-stagnant political scene in the region, but have of a sudden disrupted and energized the lethargic linguistic scene as well. The revolts in Tunisia and Egypt, and the popular bestirrings in other Arab countries, have exposed the hollowness of defunct official discourses (of regimes and their symbiotic traditional oppositions alike) contrasting them with new young and lively discourses arising in the street. Examples of this could be seen in the use of new catchy slogans in both Arabic Standard and Colloquials (e.g.??? ????? ???? ???? ??????  ,  ???? ???? ???? ?? ??? ???? ???? ,  ????? ???? ????? ?????? , ?? ???????  etc. ), the formulaic Arabic used by the presidents and their old guard, the use of ?Facebook? Arabic, the effective marrying of Standard to regional colloquials on Satellite TV stations, the confused prevaricating English of the White House, the variety of rhetorics adopted by regional and international media (unequivocally pro-street on Aljazeera, regimes-friendly on Al-Arabia, editorial enthusiasm on Al-Hurra that often conflicts with official US positions, angry tones of CNN crews beaten by pro-regime thugs, Israeli newsmen torn between enthusiasm and trepidation, etc.).
 
This panel seeks to explore and understand the various manifestations of this new linguistic scene forming around the popular Arab revolts and the various discourses and language phenomena at work in it. If you are interested in presenting a paper in this panel, please email an abstract of about 300-400 words to Muhamed Al Khalil (muhamed.alkhalil at nyu.edu) by February 14 . You can also email me to discuss your thoughts before you submit your abstract. I myself plan to present a paper on the reinvigorated use of Arabic poetry in the revolts and the implications for the art and its future.

SPECIAL ISSUE OF THE TAL JOURNAL

Deadline for submission: 27 February 2011

Authors intending to submit a paper are encouraged to contact the guest
editors of the issue straight away:

* Nabil Hathout, Nabil.Hathout at univ-tlse2.fr et
* Fiammetta Namer, Fiammetta.Namer at univ-nancy2.fr

GUEST EDITORS:

Nabil Hathout (CLLE-ERSS, CNRS & Toulouse2) and Fiammetta Namer (ATILF,
CNRS & Nancy-Universit?)

CALL FOR PAPERS:

Computational morphology has become over the years one of the
Computational Linguistics subfields, with an annual competition, Morpho
Challenge and a recurring workshop, SigMorPhon. The objectives of the
Morpho Challenge evaluation campaigns are to compare the results and
algorithms of various morphological systems on a task of morpheme
segmentation and analysis. The competition  involves five languages :
English, German, Finnish, Turkish and Arabic. The researches presented
at the SigMorPhon workshops deal on the whole with phonology and morphology.

Besides these objectives, systems centered on morphology produce other
information, of a linguistic nature, in the course of the processes they
perform.  And these results are particularly relevant to the special
issue we propose. The issue aims at exploring the situation of
morphology with respect to its established interfaces such as:

* phonology,
* syntax,
* semantics,
* lexicon,

but also its connections with cognitive processes and language acquisition.

Therefore, submitted papers should not be limited to the presentation of
results of competitions. Rather, the themes of this issue include all
studies dealing computationally with any complex matter related to
derivation or compounding. Original models of inflectional morphology
are also welcome. The studies can be concerned with the morphology of
the general language, but also with that of specialty domains languages.
Studies may have to do with French as well as with any other language in
the world; the described systems may be monolingual or multilingual.

Papers on specific applications in NLP and linguistics are also welcome,
including:

* machine translation
* information retrieval
* terminology
* language typology
* dialectology
* evolution of languages and phylogenetics

All approaches are welcome, including rule-based methods, analogy-based
ones, or mixed approaches. They can involve unsupervised,
semi-supervised or supervised machine learning.

Subject: Grammar query

Dear readers,

I have come across an Arabic sentence which interestingly combines the 
grammatical constraints implied by "'anna and its sisters" with the 
constraints implied by "kaana and its sisters".

The sentence is:

????? ?? ??? ????? ????? ????? "??? ??? ????? ????? ?????".

It can be glossed as:

And he added that one of the goals of the summit will be "making the 
ceasefire permanent".


Let me ask your opinions about the grammatical role of the word ??? 
"making" and its case ending that you perceive as correct and/or 
natural. Which phrase is the subject, and which one is the predicate 
of the clause after ?? "that", please? Which one is the topic, and 
which one is the focus? If ????? "will be" were omitted, would the 
status of ??? "making" change?


Thank you very much for your comments.


Best regards and wishes,

Otakar Smrz

Subject: Naming the recent events in Egypt

I am interested in how well-known events get 'named', and what processes lead to particular names 'sticking'.  For example, participants in the recent events in Egypt expressed annoyance when some news organizations referred to them as 'protests' rather than as a 'revolution'.  Further, it seemed to me (although I could be wrong) that certain non-Egyptian news organizations consistently used 'Lotus' to refer to the Egyptian events, but that this was never adopted in the Egyptian press.  I used search to come up with the following list of references to the events in the various newspapers listed.  I would happy to hear of any additions or any insights into this naming process that other readers have come to.

Subject: word form list from arabiCorpus

A couple of people asked me about a word frequency list from arabiCorpus.  Of course, arabiCorpus is an unlemmatized corpus, so it is impossible to create a word frequency list for it.  However, it is possible to create a 'word form' list, meaning that every distinct graphemic word form is counted separately.  This means that ???? is counted separately not only from ????, but also from ?????? ?????? , ?????, ?????, etc.  Anyway, I have produced such a list, and have made it available for download at the following url: 

arabiCorpus.byu.edu/wordFormListSource.html

Once you get there, click on the folder, click on the file you want to download, and choose 'more' from the sub-menu, which lets you choose 'download'.  There is an info file which explains what the different files are.

Abstract:

With a written history of nearly five thousand years, the Semitic languages
comprise one of the world's earliest attested and longest attested
families. Well known members of the family include Arabic, Hebrew, Aramaic,
Amharic, and Akkadian. This volume provides an overview of this important
language family, including both ancient and modern languages. After a brief
introduction to the history of the family and its internal classification,
subsequent chapters cover topics in phonology, morphology, syntax, and
lexicon. Each chapter describes features that are characteristic of the
Semitic language family as a whole, as well as some of the more
extraordinary developments that take place in the individual languages.
This provides both a typological overview and a description of more unique
features. The chapters contain abundant examples from numerous languages.
All the examples include morpheme by morpheme glosses, as well as
translations, which help make these examples clear and accessible even to
those not familiar with a given language. Concluding the book is a detailed
guide to further reading, which directs the reader to the most important
reference tools and secondary literature, and an up-to-date bibliography.
This brief introduction contains a rich variety of data, and covers topics
not normally found in short sketches such as this. The clarity of
presentation makes it useful not only to those in the field of Semitic
linguistics, but also to the general linguist or language enthusiast who
wishes to learn something about this important language family.

The subject of the 'anna clause is 'aHad 'ahdaaf Alqimma, and the predicate (or xabar kaan if you like) is all the rest of the words after the sayakuun.  The word ja9l is marked with a fatha, accusative, because the whole idaafa is xabar kaan.  If you took out the sayakuun it would just be a regular predicate and would be voweled with a damma, nominative.  My reading makes 'one of the goals of the summit' the topic.  I'm not sure what the term 'focus' refers to so I can't identify a focus.

Subject: Naming Egypt events

On Twitter, which was widely used to mobilize protestors and disseminate information over the past few weeks, the hashtag #Jan25 (and occasionally #25Jan) gained broad currency in marking messages ("tweets") related to the protests/revolution. (There were others, like #tahrir, but this one seemed the most common.) One can see here  (http://hashtags.org/Jan25) that at 11 AM on Feb 11, 1.35% of all messages on Twitter were marked with this tag.

Given the crucial role of young, internet-savvy Egyptians in the revolution?as well as Egyptians' apparent predilection for events named after dates generally (e.g., 6 October, July 23)?I wouldn't be surprised if the Jan 25 tag sticks.

Hi Dil,

I know that this is not the answer you're looking for, but a colleague of mine at Duke, Frances Hasso, has coined the term "1/11 Revolutions." We can now speak of pre- and post-1/11 just as for the past 9 1/2 years we have spoken of pre- and post- 9/11.  Best, Nadia

Dear Dil,

Thanks a lot for this list, it is indeed interesting to see how this revolution was named, and even how the names kept on changing each day with new developments.

I personally think that the name ???? ?????? understandably didn't get picked up in Egyptian press because it is would seem so historically moved from the present mood, the lotus is always associated with the phaoronic era and the mood was all about changing the present with an eye for the future.. Another reason, in my opinion, is that it seemed a cheesy attempt to mirror ???? ???????? in Tunisia.. I mean, there was a lot in common between the two cases but we shouldn't really push it..

I would add to the list 2 more names: ???? ??????? - ?????? ???????

The other thing that might be worth noting is the kind of language used by the people in their chants and on their signs during the revolution. I was especially interested to see the contribution of standard Arabic (e.g. ????? ???? ????? ??????), and of Egyptian Arabic (e.g. ?? ?????? ?? ????) and the influence of the English language (e.g. Hit the Road Mubarak). 

Finally, whatever its name, it was a historic two-week period in Egyptian history, and definitely the most exciting period my generation will ever see.. I am flying to Cairo myself in a couple of days, and can't wait to actually stand in Midan El Tahrir for the first time after the revolution :)

Somewhat off the main subject, it annoyed me terribly when blow hard American media bigmouths like Chris Matthews (who by the way supported Mubarak) persisted in calling the demonstrations "riots" and the  demonstrators "rioters"

I think if al sharq al awsat was using "lotus" it was aping Western news sources. (It is, after all, a mouthpiece for the Saudi royal family, and by a rather roundabout route then Neo con in orientation). 

The news sources I was following did not use the term lotus at all, as if it had never been uttered anywhere.  But I was mostly glued to al jazeera, occasionally reading the Lebanese al akhbar, about the only Arab paper worth reading - that and al Masry al Youm.

Subject: Language mixing on posters in Egypt revolution

Dr. Aleya Rouchdy ("Dr. Aleya Rouchdy" <ad5006 at wayne.edu>) tried to post a number of photo's of posters used in the revolution, but this listserv only allows me to post plain text  messages.  She noted the mixing of colloquial and standard, humor and anger.  If you wish to see the posters you could contact her.  Both she and her husband were in Egypt at the time, and have interesting posts about it, and Arabic in general, on their blogs:

DescriptionContentsSubjects
A Frequency Dictionary of Arabic is an invaluable tool for all learners of Arabic, providing a list of the 5,000 most frequently used words in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) as well as several of the most widely spoken Arabic dialects.

Based on a 30-million-word corpus of Arabic which includes written and spoken material from the entire Arab world, this dictionary provides the user with detailed information for each of the 5,000 entries, including English equivalents, a sample sentence, its English translation, usage statistics, an indication of genre variation, and usage distribution over several major Arabic dialects.

Users can access the top 5,000 words either through the main frequency listing or through an alphabetical index arranged by Arabic roots. Throughout the frequency listing there are thematically-organized lists of the top words from a variety of key topics such as sports, weather, clothing, and family terms.

An engaging and highly useful resource, A Frequency Dictionary of Arabic will enable students of all levels to get the most out of their study of modern Arabic vocabulary.

A CD version is available to purchase separately. Designed for use by corpus and computational linguists it provides the full text in a format that researchers can process and turn into suitable lists for their own research work.

Tim Buckwalter is Research Associate at the University of Maryland.

Dilworth Parkinson is Professor of Arabic at Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah.

Dear all,
I am looking for classical Arabic fiction novels. I consider Arabian nights as one although it is similar to short stories. I know "Kaleela and Dimna" but I think it is translated to Arabic. I would appreciate if anyone suggest to me other names for fiction classical novels written originally in Arabic.
Thank you very much.
