The volume reflects the central themes of Ramzi Baalbaki's scholarly work: history of Arabic grammar, Arabic lexicography, Arabic linguistics, comparative Semitics, Arabic epigraphy, and textual editing of classical texts. It provides intellectual, literary, and social historians, as well as Arabists, philologists, and linguists with an interesting glimpse into the early medieval and modern traditions related to the Arabic language, its grammar, historical development, and demonstrates its centrality to other fields of study such as Qur'ānic studies, adab, folk literature, sufism, and poetry.

Some of the best-known scholars in the field of Arabic linguistics debate such issues as the technical definition of words and morphemes in the Arabic grammatical and rhetorical traditions, the theoretical status of the root and its interactions with morphology, the analysis of word in the computer treatment of Arabic texts, some relevant phenomena in the contact of Arabic with other languages. The result is a fresh portrait of some of the most interesting research currently under way in Arabic linguistics from different theoretical and methodological viewpoints. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- End of Arabic-L: 03 Feb 2012 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

BUT while the Alpheios.net enables online reading, I am not clear whether you can download a whole book as a corpus textfile. At the NITS'2011 National Information Technology Symposium on "Arabic and Islamic Content on the Internet" at King Saud University, Riyadh, Mansour Alhamdi outlined the KACST initiative to collect a large Arabic corpus including Classical and Modern Arabic http://nits2011.ksu.edu.sa/en/cap/CD/Keynote%20Speakers/Mansour%20Alghamdi.pdf BUT I have not heard how far this has succeeded yet.

IGAI is a language, cultural and educational center located in the historical and cultural capital of Morocco, Fez. Our summer intensive program offers more than Arabic classes. Students at IGAI do not only enjoy learning Arabic from native and very experienced professors (most of whom taught Arabic in the US as Fulbright scholars) but they also have the opportunity to: · Attend lectures on various issues related to the Arab and Muslim World such as women’s rights in Islam, media in the Arab world and Islam in the West, to name a few. · Take part in a variety of cultural activities and events which allow students to get an authentic cultural experience. · Travel to many Moroccan cities and experience the rich and diverse cultures and regions of Morocco. · Live in and explore the imperial city of Fez which remains the biggest medieval city in the world and one of the few remaining ones. · Experience the wonderful beauty of the Moroccan craftsmanship through visiting workshops and learning the basics. Last year, we had students from many US universities such as the University of Connecticut, Fordham University, Syracuse University and Juniata College. I invite you to take a look at our website http://www.igai-fez.com for more information. I will be very grateful if you could forward the info to your students.

In order to do this, we need to assess the proficiency of all speakers in their foreign language. Since we're in Germany, getting our hands on a German L2 proficiency test is easy, but for Arabic it's more difficult. Therefore I'm asking here. Does anyone have available or know of an L2 proficiency test for Modern Standard Arabic that we could use? Something that uses the CEFR[1] would be great, but that is not a prerequisite. Thanks for any and all help that you can provide us. Sincerely, Joost Kremers PS: I have another question regarding our planned experiment, but that is a completely different topic, so I'm asking that in a separate mail. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- End of Arabic-L: 29 Feb 2012 From dilworthparkinson at GMAIL.COM Wed Feb 29 17:46:23 2012 From: dilworthparkinson at GMAIL.COM (Dilworth Parkinson) Date: Wed, 29 Feb 2012 10:46:23 -0700 Subject: Arabic-L:LING:Needs Arabic dialectology refs written in Arabic Message-ID: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Arabic-L: Wed 29 Feb 2012 Moderator: Dilworth Parkinson [To post messages to the list, send them to arabic-l at byu.edu] [To unsubscribe, send message from same address you subscribed from to listserv at byu.edu with first line reading: unsubscribe arabic-l ] -------------------------Directory------------------------------------ 1) Subject:Needs Arabic dialectology refs written in Arabic -------------------------Messages----------------------------------- 1) Date: 29 Feb 2012 From:Dan Parvaz Subject:Needs Arabic dialectology refs written in Arabic Are there any works on modern Arabic linguistics/dialectology written in Arabic?

We would be especially interested in studies regarding the use of 3rd person sg. pronouns (huwa, hiya) vs. lack of pronoun (so-called 'pro-drop'), but also personal pronoun vs. demonstrative (hāḏā/hāḏihi and ḏālika/tilka) in Standard Arabic and in the dialects (for example, Egyptian huwwa/hiyya vs. dah/dī vs. no pronoun). So far we haven't been able to turn up much, but perhaps we're looking in the wrong places... :-) Any kind of study would be helpful, theoretical, experimental, corpus-based, etc. We would appreciate any pointers or hints you could give us.

Part I addresses morpho-syntactic and semantic interfaces in temporality, aspectuality, and actionality, including the Past/Perfect/Perfective ambiguity akin to the very synthetic temporal morphology, collocating time adverb construal, and interpretability of verbal Number as pluractional. Part II is dedicated to nominal architecture, the behaviour of bare nouns as true indefinites, the count/mass dichotomy (re-examined in light of general, collective, and singulative DP properties), the mirror image ordering of serialized adjectives, and N-to-D Move in synthetic possession, proper names, and individuated vocatives. Part III examines the role of CP in time and space anchoring, double access reading (in a DAR language such as Arabic), sequence of tense (SOT), silent pronominal categories in consistent null subject languages (including referential and generic pro), and the interpretability of inflection. Semantic and formal parameters are set out, within a mixed macro/micro-parametric model of language variation. The book is of particular interest to students, researchers, and teachers of Arabic, Semitic, comparative, typological, or general linguistics. *[Linguistik Aktuell/Linguistics Today, 182] 2012. xx, 358 pp.* *Hb 978 90 272 5565 5 EUR 99.00* *E-bOOK 978 90 272 7496 0 EUR 99.00**able of contents* Foreword Provenance of Chapters *Part I.

Solidly grounded in scholarship ranging from the rich Arabic linguistic tradition to inquiries at the forefront of current research, the author provides incisive and compelling accounts of central features of Semitic languages, placing them in a revealing comparative framework, and also develops stimulating new ideas about semantics and syntax of broad import and reach.

The volume reflects the central themes of Ramzi Baalbaki's scholarly work: history of Arabic grammar, Arabic lexicography, Arabic linguistics, comparative Semitics, Arabic epigraphy, and textual editing of classical texts. It provides intellectual, literary, and social historians, as well as Arabists, philologists, and linguists with an interesting glimpse into the early medieval and modern traditions related to the Arabic language, its grammar, historical development, and demonstrates its centrality to other fields of study such as Qur'?nic studies, adab, folk literature, sufism, and poetry.

Some of the best-known scholars in the field of Arabic linguistics debate such issues as the technical definition of words and morphemes in the Arabic grammatical and rhetorical traditions, the theoretical status of the root and its interactions with morphology, the analysis of word in the computer treatment of Arabic texts, some relevant phenomena in the contact of Arabic with other languages. The result is a fresh portrait of some of the most interesting research currently under way in Arabic linguistics from different theoretical and methodological viewpoints. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- End of Arabic-L: 03 Feb 2012 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

BUT while the Alpheios.net enables online reading, I am not clear whether you can download a whole book as a corpus textfile. At the NITS'2011 National Information Technology Symposium on "Arabic and Islamic Content on the Internet" at King Saud University, Riyadh, Mansour Alhamdi outlined the KACST initiative to collect a large Arabic corpus including Classical and Modern Arabic http://nits2011.ksu.edu.sa/en/cap/CD/Keynote%20Speakers/Mansour%20Alghamdi.pdf BUT I have not heard how far this has succeeded yet.

IGAI is a language, cultural and educational center located in the historical and cultural capital of Morocco, Fez. Our summer intensive program offers more than Arabic classes. Students at IGAI do not only enjoy learning Arabic from native and very experienced professors (most of whom taught Arabic in the US as Fulbright scholars) but they also have the opportunity to: ? Attend lectures on various issues related to the Arab and Muslim World such as women?s rights in Islam, media in the Arab world and Islam in the West, to name a few. ? Take part in a variety of cultural activities and events which allow students to get an authentic cultural experience. ? Travel to many Moroccan cities and experience the rich and diverse cultures and regions of Morocco. ? Live in and explore the imperial city of Fez which remains the biggest medieval city in the world and one of the few remaining ones. ? Experience the wonderful beauty of the Moroccan craftsmanship through visiting workshops and learning the basics. Last year, we had students from many US universities such as the University of Connecticut, Fordham University, Syracuse University and Juniata College. I invite you to take a look at our website http://www.igai-fez.com for more information. I will be very grateful if you could forward the info to your students. I will be happy to answer any question you or your students might have.

In order to do this, we need to assess the proficiency of all speakers in their foreign language. Since we're in Germany, getting our hands on a German L2 proficiency test is easy, but for Arabic it's more difficult. Therefore I'm asking here. Does anyone have available or know of an L2 proficiency test for Modern Standard Arabic that we could use? Something that uses the CEFR[1] would be great, but that is not a prerequisite. Thanks for any and all help that you can provide us. Sincerely, Joost Kremers PS: I have another question regarding our planned experiment, but that is a completely different topic, so I'm asking that in a separate mail. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- End of Arabic-L: 29 Feb 2012 From dilworthparkinson at GMAIL.COM Wed Feb 29 17:46:23 2012 From: dilworthparkinson at GMAIL.COM (Dilworth Parkinson) Date: Wed, 29 Feb 2012 10:46:23 -0700 Subject: Arabic-L:LING:Needs Arabic dialectology refs written in Arabic Message-ID: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Arabic-L: Wed 29 Feb 2012 Moderator: Dilworth Parkinson [To post messages to the list, send them to arabic-l at byu.edu] [To unsubscribe, send message from same address you subscribed from to listserv at byu.edu with first line reading: unsubscribe arabic-l ] -------------------------Directory------------------------------------ 1) Subject:Needs Arabic dialectology refs written in Arabic -------------------------Messages----------------------------------- 1) Date: 29 Feb 2012 From:Dan Parvaz Subject:Needs Arabic dialectology refs written in Arabic Are there any works on modern Arabic linguistics/dialectology written in Arabic?

In particular, the we are planning to study the use of pronouns in particular contexts and for this reason we are looking for studies on the use of pronouns in Arabic. We would be especially interested in studies regarding the use of 3rd person sg. pronouns (huwa, hiya) vs. lack of pronoun (so-called 'pro-drop'), but also personal pronoun vs. demonstrative (h???/h??ihi and ??lika/tilka) in Standard Arabic and in the dialects (for example, Egyptian huwwa/hiyya vs. dah/d? vs. no pronoun). So far we haven't been able to turn up much, but perhaps we're looking in the wrong places... :-) Any kind of study would be helpful, theoretical, experimental, corpus-based, etc. We would appreciate any pointers or hints you could give us. Sincerely, Joost Kremers -------------------------------------------------------------------------- End of Arabic-L: 29 Feb 2012 From dilworthparkinson at GMAIL.COM Wed Feb 29 17:46:28 2012 From: dilworthparkinson at GMAIL.COM (Dilworth Parkinson) Date: Wed, 29 Feb 2012 10:46:28 -0700 Subject: Arabic-L:AD:Muhsin Mahdi's private Library for sale Message-ID: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Arabic-L: Wed 29 Feb 2012 Moderator: Dilworth Parkinson [To post messages to the list, send them to arabic-l at byu.edu] [To unsubscribe, send message from same address you subscribed from to listserv at byu.edu with first line reading: unsubscribe arabic-l ] -------------------------Directory------------------------------------ 1) Subject:Muhsin Mahdi's private Library for sale -------------------------Messages----------------------------------- 1) Date: 29 Feb 2012 From:Gerlach Islamic Studies office at gerlach-books.de Subject:Muhsin Mahdi's private Library for sale Scholarly Library of Islamic Philosophy Today we offer the private working library of the late Professor Muhsin Mahdi (1926-2007) for sale.

Part I addresses morpho-syntactic and semantic interfaces in temporality, aspectuality, and actionality, including the Past/Perfect/Perfective ambiguity akin to the very synthetic temporal morphology, collocating time adverb construal, and interpretability of verbal Number as pluractional. Part II is dedicated to nominal architecture, the behaviour of bare nouns as true indefinites, the count/mass dichotomy (re-examined in light of general, collective, and singulative DP properties), the mirror image ordering of serialized adjectives, and N-to-D Move in synthetic possession, proper names, and individuated vocatives. Part III examines the role of CP in time and space anchoring, double access reading (in a DAR language such as Arabic), sequence of tense (SOT), silent pronominal categories in consistent null subject languages (including referential and generic pro), and the interpretability of inflection. Semantic and formal parameters are set out, within a mixed macro/micro-parametric model of language variation. The book is of particular interest to students, researchers, and teachers of Arabic, Semitic, comparative, typological, or general linguistics. *[Linguistik Aktuell/Linguistics Today, 182] 2012. xx, 358 pp.* *Hb 978 90 272 5565 5 EUR 99.00* *E-bOOK 978 90 272 7496 0 EUR 99.00**able of contents* Foreword Provenance of Chapters *Part I.

Solidly grounded in scholarship ranging from the rich Arabic linguistic tradition to inquiries at the forefront of current research, the author provides incisive and compelling accounts of central features of Semitic languages, placing them in a revealing comparative framework, and also develops stimulating new ideas about semantics and syntax of broad import and reach.
