Call for Papers: 2nd Annual Jīl Jadīd @ UT Austin

Dates: February 23-25, 2012

Location: The University of Texas at Austin

Abstract deadline: November 1, 2011

Topic: Arabic Literature and Linguistics

Contact: Anthony Edwards - jiljadidconf at gmail.com<mailto: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 2nd Annual Jīl
Jadīd Conference, a graduate student conference in Arabic Literature
and Linguistics, to be held at the University of Texas at Austin,
February 23-25, 2012.

Last February, graduate students from eighteen universities assembled
to set the tone for Arabic studies in the twenty-first century. The
overwhelming, positive feedback from this ‘new generation’ for Jīl
Jadīd 2011 prompts us to assemble again in order to keep the
conversation going. The purpose of this conference remains to bring
together students spread across area studies, linguistics, comparative
literature and other departments in order to facilitate a productive
and interdisciplinary exchange of new ideas.

At the center of the conference lies the goal of fostering productive
and fruitful dialogue. Jīl Jadīd 2012 intends to continue exploring
innovative approaches to presentations and the conference committee
will decide the final format of the conference, to be announced when
available.
The conference will feature keynote speakers on Arabic literature and
linguistics, as well as a career development workshop offered by
faculty from the UT Department of Middle Eastern Studies.

Topics:
All papers on Arabic literature (classical and modern) and Arabic
linguistics will gladly be considered. We especially encourage state
of the field papers that provide a focused overview of a specific
subfield of Arabic studies and suggest new avenues for research in
that area.

Submitters presenting papers on the ‘the state of the field’ will be
asked to provide a bibliography in electronic formation two weeks
prior to the conference. All other submitters, who are accepted, will
not be asked to provide a summary of their papers this year.

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.

Papers that 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/jiljadid2012

The deadline for abstracts is November 1, 2011. Abstracts should not
include identifying information. However, you must indicate the
highest degree you have obtained and your current position (e.g.
“M.A., Graduate Student”, Ph.D., Assistant Professor”, etc.)

Funding:
We are well aware of the financial restrictions facing graduate
students. Due to budget difficulties, Jīl Jadīd is unable to provide
financial assistance for travel expenses. Lodging with local graduate
students will be made available when possible.

Conference fees:
There will be no fees required of presenters and/or attendees.

Subject:Needs info on Self-study Arabic programs

My name is Greg Askew. I am currently teaching English in the United Arab
Emirates. Over the past year I have been teaching myself Arabic (a mix of
Modern Standard and colloquial) by using a range of free resources online
(websites, YouTube videos, etc.), a handful of simple phrase books and
dictionaries, conversation with Arab colleagues, and everyday practice. I'm
proud of what I have accomplished in just ten months of living in an Arab
country--I understand most of the writing system, including the common
harakat; I've got a reasonable handle on pronunciation of new words in
written texts; and I'm not bashful about practicing my beginner's Arabic
with folks outside; however, I feel I need a much more regimented approach
if I'm to attain the level of proficiency I desire. If it is not too much
trouble, could you please share with me any recommendations for online,
text, audio, and/or multimedia language-learning programs that focus on
Modern Standard Arabic.

Subject:Passing of Dr. Wallace Erwin

Dear Colleagues:

Wallace M. Erwin died at the age of 89 on August 4, 2011 in Amherst, Mass.
He taught at Georgetown University from 1964 to 1986 where he chaired the
Arabic Department from 1964 to 1981, was the author or co-author of Arabic
textbooks and grammars, and mentored many master's and doctoral theses from
the 1960s to 1980s.  Dr. Erwin was also a founding member of AATA. Many of
us remember with great fondness and appreciation his highly organized and
engaging teaching, from elementary MSA to graduate courses in dialectology
and Arabic linguistics.  He was a dedicated and brilliant teacher and
mentor.

We will remember Dr. Erwin during the 12:00 noon Mass in Dahlgren Chapel on
the Georgetown University campus in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 21, 2011.
All are welcome to attend.  Please RSVP to Jackie Murgida if you plan to
attend the service (jmurg at cox.net<mailto:jmurg at cox.net>), NOT TO ARABIC-L.

Best regards,
-- Jackie

Subject:Request for Participation in Survey on Teaching Heritage Languages

Dear colleague,

At  the National Heritage Resource Center at the University of California,  Los
Angeles (UCLA), we are collecting information on  teaching heritage  languages
in the U.S, Arabic is my part in the project.  The goal for this  project is to
establish a website that benefit the educational as well  as the research
community by providing: a) information on teaching  heritage languages in the
U.S., b) resources for material,  experiences, training workshops, articles, C)
an online sharing and  communication space to bridge the gap between theoretical
and  pedagogical implications of teaching languages for heritage learners,  and
D) ultimately to address heritage learners' needs to insure a  successful
experience in learning and maintaining  their heritage language.


If you are  an Arabic instructor at college/university level, would you  please
do me a huge favor and fill out this project survey.  It  won't take more than
10 minutes of your time and your time and contribution  is greatly appreciated.

Survey link (if you have any questions or concern, please do not hesitate to
email me)

Hi all and hi Ibrahim,

I can remember some few references related to word frequency. Here they are:

1. Samy, Waheed: "Computer Word Frequency Counting in Arabic", in Elgibali, A. (1996): Understanding Arabic. Essays in Contemporary Arabic Linguistics in Honor of El-Said Badawi. Cairo. The American University in Cairo Press, pages 259-271.   The corpus is based on arabic language textbooks, but the author says that previous studies on arabic word frequency are -but I didn't have access to them-:

. Landau, Jacob M.: A word count of Modern Arabic Prose. New York: American COucil of Learned Societies (not year indicated)
. Sartain, E. (comp.): Modern Written Arabic Graded Vocabulary Lists. Cairo. The American University in Cairo. (1978) (For use with Graded REaders in Modern Written Arabic)
. L'Arabe Fonctionnel. La comission Permanente de l'Arabe Foctionel. Second Edition. Tunis. 1976.
. المفردات الشائعة في اللغة العربية; إعداد  الدكتور عطيّة عبدة, مطبوعات جامعة الرياض. ١٩٧٩
قائمة مكة للمفردات الشائعة; جامعة أم القرى، معهد العربية، وحدة البحوث ولمناهج.

I'm sorry for the mistakes on arabic: I have not adaptated my keyboard on this pc. I don't know if this author (Waheed Samy) has more studies on word frequency..maybe it's good to look for in this way.

2. And of course...: Buckwalter, T. & Parkinson, D. : A Frequency Dictionary of Arabic: Core Vocabulary for Learners. Routledge Frequency Dictionnaries


Hope that can help you. Regards,

Laura

Dear Colleagues,

 Due to the coincidence of the dates of the conference of Fez and Taza with a national and religious holiday period,  this holiday period has been extended at national level from November 7 to 13. The Conference Organizing Committee is obliged to delay the dates of the conference to Wednesday 16 and Thursday 17, November. We ask our fellow participants in the conference to excuse us for any inconvenience this change may cause due to reasons beyond our will.

Subject:Needs Text Editor for Tagging Arabic Texts

Dear all,

I wonder if anyone can help me with the following problem. I am tagging
Arabic texts (classical Arabic sources, mostly biographical dictionaries and
chronicles) to be converted into XML format for the following analysis.
Currently I am doing that in MS Word 2007, which, despite all improvements,
does not handle long text files well and crashes from time to time. I was
desperately trying to find a good alternative, but did not succeed so far. I
need a text editor which have/do the following:

  - Support for bi-directional text and Unicode;
  - Support for large text files (mine are not too big, but may go up to
  20Mb of TXT in UTF-8; Yaqut’s *Mu‘jam al-Buldan* is ~9Mb, Ibn
‘Imad’s *Shadharat
  al-Dhahab* is ~8Mb; Ibn al-Jawzi’s *al-Muntazam* is 12Mb);
  - Changing Font and its Size;
  - Custom Highlighting: an editable list of symbols and phrases (in
  Arabic) to be highlighted for visibility. The sources I work with have a
  number of technical topoi (most obvious examples are the words like bab,
  fasl, harf etc.) that mark the structure of the book as well as
  transition points between information of different kind (for example, in
  al-Sam‘ani’s *Kitab al-ansab* the explanation of most of nisba names
  begins with phrases like wa-hadhihi-l-nisba ila and ends with wa-l-mashhur
  bi-hadhihi-l-nisba, or wa-ilay-ha, or wa-ntasaba[t] ila etc.). Having
  them highlighted makes the structure of the test highly visible and tagging
  process much faster and easier.
  - The editor should be stable and fast.

I will deeply appreciate any comments and suggestions.

Best regards,
Maxim G. Romanov

ANNOUNCEMENT

CENTER FOR ARABIC STUDY ABROAD (CASA)

*Application deadline for 2012-2013 programs is December 16, 2011*

CASA II          2012-2013 Program for Post-CASA I Language Study and
Arabic-Based Research

The CASA II program aims to provide further opportunities for CASA fellows,
who have completed the CASA I Full-Year program within the past five years,
to continue to enhance their language skills and advance their Arabic-based
research in Egypt.

The CASA II program offers the opportunity to study for one or two semesters
(Fall, Spring or both) at the American University in Cairo.  The program is
meant to be flexible in order to cater to the individual linguistic and
research needs of each CASA II fellow.  Individual academic programs will be
designed in close consultation between the fellow and the CASA Executive
Director in Cairo.

Each CASA II fellow is expected to enroll in three tutorials per semester.
These tutorials can be in any of the language skills or in the fellow's own
field of specialization.  In addition, CASA II fellows are welcome to enroll
in any of the regular CASA I classes offered during the fall and spring
semesters as part of their CASA II program.  Fellows will also be expected
to participate in and contribute to the full range of activities of the CASA
program in Egypt.

Requirements:

To qualify for a CASA II fellowship, an applicant must have completed the
CASA I Full-Year program within the past five years and must be enrolled in
a graduate program in Arabic and/or Middle Eastern Studies.  Former CASA
fellows who graduated more than five years ago may apply for a CASA II
fellowship, but will be required to take the CASA Entrance Exam in order to
assess their current level of proficiency in Arabic.

Each applicant must complete and submit the CASA II application form and
provide all supporting documents by the designated deadline.  For those
applicants being considered for a fellowship, a 15-20 minute oral interview
in Arabic will be coordinated to discuss their proposals with the CASA
Executive Director. This interview takes place in early March when the CASA
Selection Committee convenes.

Each CASA II fellow is expected to pay a non-refundable program fee of $825
per semester (Consortium rate) or $1,100 per semester (Non-Consortium rate).
Please note that only fellows affiliated with a CASA Consortium university,
at the time program fees are due, are eligible for the Consortium rate.

Applicants for CASA II have the option of participating on a
Pay-Your-Own-Way basis, if they have other sources of funding.  Applicants
are encouraged to seek funding from other available sources, such as the
Fulbright Hays Student Scholarships, for their CASA studies. The deadline
for Fulbright Hays Scholarships is October 17, 2011. Please visit the
website for more information:
http://us.fulbrightonline.org/program_country.html?id=32

Benefits:

A CASA II fellowship award covers tuition for one or two semesters based on
the fellow's choice, round trip airfare and a monthly stipend of 3,550
Egyptian pounds.

For detailed descriptions of the CASA programs, a list of Consortium
members, or to download application forms, please visit the CASA website at:

Subject:Arabic Verbs with Prep query


Dear all,
I have a question about the Arabic verbs that become transitive by the use of the prepositions such as jaa' bi-. Do they behave in a similar way to the the English phrasal verbs which are considered as transitive because they are inseperable such as (count on)? What I know is that, in English, the noun phrases after such verbs are considered DO, but in Arabic the whole prepositional phrase is the object. Is that right? In Arabic, can we consider only the noun phrase which follows the prepositions in the prepositional phrase as DO, as in English?
I appreciat if you have any comments about this issue, or any references that you think are helpful.
Thank you very much.
Zainab

Subject:Euphrates Summit

We would like to warmly invite you to attend a groundbreaking event, the Euphrates Summit: Our World Beyond 9/11, held at Principia College this October 27th and 28th.  On the heels of memorials and reflections marking the ten-year anniversary of 9/11, the Euphrates Institute offers a new way forward in America’s relationship with the Middle East.  The Summit will bring together visionaries on global issues and an audience of change agents to create a platform for paradigm shifts on the Middle East.  Joined by Euphrates’ Warriors for Peace®, the next generation of peace and sustainability leaders focused on the Middle East, participants in the Summit will explore ideas for progress and new levels of thinking in this post-9/11 era.

The Summit takes place at Euphrates’ partnering institution, Principia College, a four-year liberal arts college with a century-old institutional history. The National Historic Landmark campus is perched on the Mississippi River bluffs about 30 miles north of St. Louis. The two-day Summit, Thursday and Friday, October 27th and 28th, will include three sessions designed around Euphrates’ IIT approach – to Inform, Inspire, and Transform. An expert-led, in-depth overview of the status of the Middle East – West relations will kick things off Thursday morning for the Inform session, followed by a look at inspiring models of peace, coexistence, and cooperation from the globe’s most successful peacemakers in the Inspire session.  Friday will focus on “bringing the ideas home” as peacemakers provide not only the reasons, but the tools for each one of us to heal divides, take personal responsibility, and commit to action in the Transform session.

Speakers at the Summit include Dr. James Zogby, head of the Arab American Institute, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Iran Ambassador John Limbert, Rev. Can. Charles Gibbs, head of United Religions Initiative, Manal Omar, current Middle East Programs director at USIP, Tom Quiggin, a court-qualified expert on terrorism, Israeli peacemaker Dr. Yehuda Stolov, and Sami Awad, executive director of Palestinian non-profit Holy Land Trust, among over a dozen other speakers from the Middle East, the U.S., and Canada.

Two days spent delving into one of the greatest questions of the age -- our relationship with the Middle East -- is an opportunity not to be missed!

To register for the Summit or learn more about the event, visit www.euphratessummit.com<http://www.euphratessummit.com/>, or send an email toinfo at euphratesinstitute.org<mailto:info at euphratesinstitute.org> for more information.

Subject:Learning Arabic by oneself

Having learned Arabic on my own, I found that in starting as a complete beginner I got the most out of Teach Yourself Arabic, then I went through the much more thorough Al Kitaab series in three volumes (with excellent DVD's included). If you already have the basics and do not feel the need for the simplified introduction that the Teach Yourself series provides, I suggest going straight to the Al-Kitaab series.

Other online resources I found helpful were Learn Arabic Online, which has short newspaper articles in both written and spoken format, and Aswaat Arabiyya, which is free and focuses on listening comprehension at all levels of study. For reading, I also found graphic novels and cartoons an enjoyable entry into the intermediate/advanced reading level. Tintin, for instance, is readily available in Arabic, as are many Anime videos (colloquial and Fusha).

For vocabulary building, I can recommend my own software, Latifah, which is a glorified flashcard program with built-in vocabulary from the standard Arabic methods, including the two I mentioned. It sells for $35 and is also available online or directly from me.

Good luck in your studies.

ANNOUNCEMENT
CENTER FOR ARABIC STUDY ABROAD (CASA)
CASA I 2012-2013 Program
*Application deadline for 2012-2013 program is December 16, 2011*


The Center for Arabic Study Abroad (CASA) is pleased to announce that it will offer CASA I Fellowships for advanced Arabic language study at the American University in Cairo for the 2012-2013 academic year.
CASA I Fellowships: (Cairo: June 2012-May 2013)
The CASA I fellowships provide intensive language and culture training in Egyptian Colloquial and Modern Standard Arabic (reading, listening and writing) for three semesters (summer, fall and spring) and allow students in the spring semester to take courses in Arabic in their respective areas of specialization.
In 2011-2012, CASA offered 46 CASA I fellowships in Cairo, and we expect to offer 28 fellowships in 2012-2013.
Requirements:
To qualify for a CASA I fellowship, an applicant must: 1) be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident; 2) be enrolled in a graduate or undergraduate program or be in between their undergraduate and graduate study; 3) be committed to a career in Middle Eastern Studies; and 4) pass the CASA Selection exam, which usually requires a minimum of 3 years of college level language study. The exam will be administered to all applicants at a school in their locality on Friday, January 20, 2012.
Each applicant must complete and submit the CASA I application form and provide all supporting documents by the designated deadline.  For those applicants awarded a fellowship, a 20 to 30 minute Oral Proficiency Interview in Arabic will be coordinated with a certified oral proficiency tester. This interview takes place in April once an applicant’s enrollment in CASA is confirmed.
Each CASA I applicant is required to pay a non-refundable program fee of $1,650 (Consortium rate) or $2,200 (Non-Consortium rate) once an award has been accepted. Please note that only applicants affiliated with a CASA Consortium university, at the time program fees are due, are eligible for the Consortium rate.
Applicants for CASA I have the option of participating on a Pay-Your-Own-Way basis, if they have other sources of funding.  Applicants are encouraged to seek funding from other available sources, such as the Fulbright Hays Student Scholarships, for their CASA studies. The deadline for Fulbright Hays Scholarships is October 17, 2011. Please visit the website for more information: http://us.fulbrightonline.org/program_country.html?id=32
Please note that non-U.S. citizens are also welcome to apply to CASA, and if accepted, may participate on a Pay-Your-Own-Way basis only.
Benefits:
A CASA I fellowship award covers tuition, round-trip airfare and a monthly stipend of 3,200 Egyptian Pounds.

Call for Papers: 2nd Annual J?l Jad?d @ UT Austin

Dates: February 23-25, 2012

Location: The University of Texas at Austin

Abstract deadline: November 1, 2011

Topic: Arabic Literature and Linguistics

Contact: Anthony Edwards - jiljadidconf at gmail.com<mailto: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 2nd Annual J?l
Jad?d Conference, a graduate student conference in Arabic Literature
and Linguistics, to be held at the University of Texas at Austin,
February 23-25, 2012.

Last February, graduate students from eighteen universities assembled
to set the tone for Arabic studies in the twenty-first century. The
overwhelming, positive feedback from this ?new generation? for J?l
Jad?d 2011 prompts us to assemble again in order to keep the
conversation going. The purpose of this conference remains to bring
together students spread across area studies, linguistics, comparative
literature and other departments in order to facilitate a productive
and interdisciplinary exchange of new ideas.

At the center of the conference lies the goal of fostering productive
and fruitful dialogue. J?l Jad?d 2012 intends to continue exploring
innovative approaches to presentations and the conference committee
will decide the final format of the conference, to be announced when
available.
The conference will feature keynote speakers on Arabic literature and
linguistics, as well as a career development workshop offered by
faculty from the UT Department of Middle Eastern Studies.

Topics:
All papers on Arabic literature (classical and modern) and Arabic
linguistics will gladly be considered. We especially encourage state
of the field papers that provide a focused overview of a specific
subfield of Arabic studies and suggest new avenues for research in
that area.

Submitters presenting papers on the ?the state of the field? will be
asked to provide a bibliography in electronic formation two weeks
prior to the conference. All other submitters, who are accepted, will
not be asked to provide a summary of their papers this year.

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.

Papers that 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/jiljadid2012

The deadline for abstracts is November 1, 2011. Abstracts should not
include identifying information. However, you must indicate the
highest degree you have obtained and your current position (e.g.
?M.A., Graduate Student?, Ph.D., Assistant Professor?, etc.)

Funding:
We are well aware of the financial restrictions facing graduate
students. Due to budget difficulties, J?l Jad?d is unable to provide
financial assistance for travel expenses. Lodging with local graduate
students will be made available when possible.

Conference fees:
There will be no fees required of presenters and/or attendees.

Subject:Needs info on Self-study Arabic programs

My name is Greg Askew. I am currently teaching English in the United Arab
Emirates. Over the past year I have been teaching myself Arabic (a mix of
Modern Standard and colloquial) by using a range of free resources online
(websites, YouTube videos, etc.), a handful of simple phrase books and
dictionaries, conversation with Arab colleagues, and everyday practice. I'm
proud of what I have accomplished in just ten months of living in an Arab
country--I understand most of the writing system, including the common
harakat; I've got a reasonable handle on pronunciation of new words in
written texts; and I'm not bashful about practicing my beginner's Arabic
with folks outside; however, I feel I need a much more regimented approach
if I'm to attain the level of proficiency I desire. If it is not too much
trouble, could you please share with me any recommendations for online,
text, audio, and/or multimedia language-learning programs that focus on
Modern Standard Arabic.

Subject:Passing of Dr. Wallace Erwin

Dear Colleagues:

Wallace M. Erwin died at the age of 89 on August 4, 2011 in Amherst, Mass.
He taught at Georgetown University from 1964 to 1986 where he chaired the
Arabic Department from 1964 to 1981, was the author or co-author of Arabic
textbooks and grammars, and mentored many master's and doctoral theses from
the 1960s to 1980s.  Dr. Erwin was also a founding member of AATA. Many of
us remember with great fondness and appreciation his highly organized and
engaging teaching, from elementary MSA to graduate courses in dialectology
and Arabic linguistics.  He was a dedicated and brilliant teacher and
mentor.

We will remember Dr. Erwin during the 12:00 noon Mass in Dahlgren Chapel on
the Georgetown University campus in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 21, 2011.
All are welcome to attend.  Please RSVP to Jackie Murgida if you plan to
attend the service (jmurg at cox.net<mailto:jmurg at cox.net>), NOT TO ARABIC-L.

Best regards,
-- Jackie

Subject:Request for Participation in Survey on Teaching Heritage Languages

Dear colleague,

At  the National Heritage Resource Center at the University of California,  Los
Angeles (UCLA), we are collecting information on  teaching heritage  languages
in the U.S, Arabic is my part in the project.  The goal for this  project is to
establish a website that benefit the educational as well  as the research
community by providing: a) information on teaching  heritage languages in the
U.S., b) resources for material,  experiences, training workshops, articles, C)
an online sharing and  communication space to bridge the gap between theoretical
and  pedagogical implications of teaching languages for heritage learners,  and
D) ultimately to address heritage learners' needs to insure a  successful
experience in learning and maintaining  their heritage language.


If you are  an Arabic instructor at college/university level, would you  please
do me a huge favor and fill out this project survey.  It  won't take more than
10 minutes of your time and your time and contribution  is greatly appreciated.

Survey link (if you have any questions or concern, please do not hesitate to
email me)

Hi all and hi Ibrahim,

I can remember some few references related to word frequency. Here they are:

1. Samy, Waheed: "Computer Word Frequency Counting in Arabic", in Elgibali, A. (1996): Understanding Arabic. Essays in Contemporary Arabic Linguistics in Honor of El-Said Badawi. Cairo. The American University in Cairo Press, pages 259-271.   The corpus is based on arabic language textbooks, but the author says that previous studies on arabic word frequency are -but I didn't have access to them-:

. Landau, Jacob M.: A word count of Modern Arabic Prose. New York: American COucil of Learned Societies (not year indicated)
. Sartain, E. (comp.): Modern Written Arabic Graded Vocabulary Lists. Cairo. The American University in Cairo. (1978) (For use with Graded REaders in Modern Written Arabic)
. L'Arabe Fonctionnel. La comission Permanente de l'Arabe Foctionel. Second Edition. Tunis. 1976.
. ???????? ??????? ?? ????? ???????; ?????  ??????? ????? ????, ??????? ????? ??????. ????
????? ??? ???????? ???????; ????? ?? ?????? ???? ???????? ???? ?????? ???????.

I'm sorry for the mistakes on arabic: I have not adaptated my keyboard on this pc. I don't know if this author (Waheed Samy) has more studies on word frequency..maybe it's good to look for in this way.

2. And of course...: Buckwalter, T. & Parkinson, D. : A Frequency Dictionary of Arabic: Core Vocabulary for Learners. Routledge Frequency Dictionnaries


Hope that can help you. Regards,

Subject:Needs Text Editor for Tagging Arabic Texts

Dear all,

I wonder if anyone can help me with the following problem. I am tagging
Arabic texts (classical Arabic sources, mostly biographical dictionaries and
chronicles) to be converted into XML format for the following analysis.
Currently I am doing that in MS Word 2007, which, despite all improvements,
does not handle long text files well and crashes from time to time. I was
desperately trying to find a good alternative, but did not succeed so far. I
need a text editor which have/do the following:

  - Support for bi-directional text and Unicode;
  - Support for large text files (mine are not too big, but may go up to
  20Mb of TXT in UTF-8; Yaqut?s *Mu?jam al-Buldan* is ~9Mb, Ibn
?Imad?s *Shadharat
  al-Dhahab* is ~8Mb; Ibn al-Jawzi?s *al-Muntazam* is 12Mb);
  - Changing Font and its Size;
  - Custom Highlighting: an editable list of symbols and phrases (in
  Arabic) to be highlighted for visibility. The sources I work with have a
  number of technical topoi (most obvious examples are the words like bab,
  fasl, harf etc.) that mark the structure of the book as well as
  transition points between information of different kind (for example, in
  al-Sam?ani?s *Kitab al-ansab* the explanation of most of nisba names
  begins with phrases like wa-hadhihi-l-nisba ila and ends with wa-l-mashhur
  bi-hadhihi-l-nisba, or wa-ilay-ha, or wa-ntasaba[t] ila etc.). Having
  them highlighted makes the structure of the test highly visible and tagging
  process much faster and easier.
  - The editor should be stable and fast.

I will deeply appreciate any comments and suggestions.

ANNOUNCEMENT

CENTER FOR ARABIC STUDY ABROAD (CASA)

*Application deadline for 2012-2013 programs is December 16, 2011*

CASA II          2012-2013 Program for Post-CASA I Language Study and
Arabic-Based Research

The CASA II program aims to provide further opportunities for CASA fellows,
who have completed the CASA I Full-Year program within the past five years,
to continue to enhance their language skills and advance their Arabic-based
research in Egypt.

The CASA II program offers the opportunity to study for one or two semesters
(Fall, Spring or both) at the American University in Cairo.  The program is
meant to be flexible in order to cater to the individual linguistic and
research needs of each CASA II fellow.  Individual academic programs will be
designed in close consultation between the fellow and the CASA Executive
Director in Cairo.

Each CASA II fellow is expected to enroll in three tutorials per semester.
These tutorials can be in any of the language skills or in the fellow's own
field of specialization.  In addition, CASA II fellows are welcome to enroll
in any of the regular CASA I classes offered during the fall and spring
semesters as part of their CASA II program.  Fellows will also be expected
to participate in and contribute to the full range of activities of the CASA
program in Egypt.

Requirements:

To qualify for a CASA II fellowship, an applicant must have completed the
CASA I Full-Year program within the past five years and must be enrolled in
a graduate program in Arabic and/or Middle Eastern Studies.  Former CASA
fellows who graduated more than five years ago may apply for a CASA II
fellowship, but will be required to take the CASA Entrance Exam in order to
assess their current level of proficiency in Arabic.

Each applicant must complete and submit the CASA II application form and
provide all supporting documents by the designated deadline.  For those
applicants being considered for a fellowship, a 15-20 minute oral interview
in Arabic will be coordinated to discuss their proposals with the CASA
Executive Director. This interview takes place in early March when the CASA
Selection Committee convenes.

Each CASA II fellow is expected to pay a non-refundable program fee of $825
per semester (Consortium rate) or $1,100 per semester (Non-Consortium rate).
Please note that only fellows affiliated with a CASA Consortium university,
at the time program fees are due, are eligible for the Consortium rate.

Applicants for CASA II have the option of participating on a
Pay-Your-Own-Way basis, if they have other sources of funding.  Applicants
are encouraged to seek funding from other available sources, such as the
Fulbright Hays Student Scholarships, for their CASA studies. The deadline
for Fulbright Hays Scholarships is October 17, 2011. Please visit the
website for more information:
http://us.fulbrightonline.org/program_country.html?id=32

Benefits:

A CASA II fellowship award covers tuition for one or two semesters based on
the fellow's choice, round trip airfare and a monthly stipend of 3,550
Egyptian pounds.

For detailed descriptions of the CASA programs, a list of Consortium
members, or to download application forms, please visit the CASA website at:

*Application deadline for 2012-2013 programs is December 16, 2011*

Subject:Arabic Verbs with Prep query


Dear all,
I have a question about the Arabic verbs that become transitive by the use of the prepositions such as jaa' bi-. Do they behave in a similar way to the the English phrasal verbs which are considered as transitive because they are inseperable such as (count on)? What I know is that, in English, the noun phrases after such verbs are considered DO, but in Arabic the whole prepositional phrase is the object. Is that right? In Arabic, can we consider only the noun phrase which follows the prepositions in the prepositional phrase as DO, as in English?
I appreciat if you have any comments about this issue, or any references that you think are helpful.
Thank you very much.
Zainab

Subject:Learning Arabic by oneself

Having learned Arabic on my own, I found that in starting as a complete beginner I got the most out of Teach Yourself Arabic, then I went through the much more thorough Al Kitaab series in three volumes (with excellent DVD's included). If you already have the basics and do not feel the need for the simplified introduction that the Teach Yourself series provides, I suggest going straight to the Al-Kitaab series.

Other online resources I found helpful were Learn Arabic Online, which has short newspaper articles in both written and spoken format, and Aswaat Arabiyya, which is free and focuses on listening comprehension at all levels of study. For reading, I also found graphic novels and cartoons an enjoyable entry into the intermediate/advanced reading level. Tintin, for instance, is readily available in Arabic, as are many Anime videos (colloquial and Fusha).

For vocabulary building, I can recommend my own software, Latifah, which is a glorified flashcard program with built-in vocabulary from the standard Arabic methods, including the two I mentioned. It sells for $35 and is also available online or directly from me.

Good luck in your studies.

ANNOUNCEMENT
CENTER FOR ARABIC STUDY ABROAD (CASA)
CASA I 2012-2013 Program
*Application deadline for 2012-2013 program is December 16, 2011*


The Center for Arabic Study Abroad (CASA) is pleased to announce that it will offer CASA I Fellowships for advanced Arabic language study at the American University in Cairo for the 2012-2013 academic year.
CASA I Fellowships: (Cairo: June 2012-May 2013)
The CASA I fellowships provide intensive language and culture training in Egyptian Colloquial and Modern Standard Arabic (reading, listening and writing) for three semesters (summer, fall and spring) and allow students in the spring semester to take courses in Arabic in their respective areas of specialization.
In 2011-2012, CASA offered 46 CASA I fellowships in Cairo, and we expect to offer 28 fellowships in 2012-2013.
Requirements:
To qualify for a CASA I fellowship, an applicant must: 1) be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident; 2) be enrolled in a graduate or undergraduate program or be in between their undergraduate and graduate study; 3) be committed to a career in Middle Eastern Studies; and 4) pass the CASA Selection exam, which usually requires a minimum of 3 years of college level language study. The exam will be administered to all applicants at a school in their locality on Friday, January 20, 2012.
Each applicant must complete and submit the CASA I application form and provide all supporting documents by the designated deadline.  For those applicants awarded a fellowship, a 20 to 30 minute Oral Proficiency Interview in Arabic will be coordinated with a certified oral proficiency tester. This interview takes place in April once an applicant?s enrollment in CASA is confirmed.
Each CASA I applicant is required to pay a non-refundable program fee of $1,650 (Consortium rate) or $2,200 (Non-Consortium rate) once an award has been accepted. Please note that only applicants affiliated with a CASA Consortium university, at the time program fees are due, are eligible for the Consortium rate.
Applicants for CASA I have the option of participating on a Pay-Your-Own-Way basis, if they have other sources of funding.  Applicants are encouraged to seek funding from other available sources, such as the Fulbright Hays Student Scholarships, for their CASA studies. The deadline for Fulbright Hays Scholarships is October 17, 2011. Please visit the website for more information: http://us.fulbrightonline.org/program_country.html?id=32
Please note that non-U.S. citizens are also welcome to apply to CASA, and if accepted, may participate on a Pay-Your-Own-Way basis only.
Benefits:
A CASA I fellowship award covers tuition, round-trip airfare and a monthly stipend of 3,200 Egyptian Pounds.
