Subject:New Years Resolutions in Arab Tradition

I would like to know if any of you have some information about New
Year's resolutions tradition in the arab/muslim culture for Muharram
and if it is mentioned in the Qoran or by the Hadaith. I guess it is
mainly related to the concepts of tobah and da3oa.
Thank you

Subject:CFP:Volume on language phenomena related to Arab revolutions

Dear Colleagues,

I am currently working with a major publisher on producing an edited volume
on the various language-related phenomena attending the Arab revolutions.
If you are interested in contributing a paper to this volume, please send
me a one page abstract summarizing your topic, basic proposition(s),
research data, and expected conclusions. The central theme of this volume
is language, so all proposals need to maintain thematic relevance by
exploring the various ways the revolts have impacted the Arabic language
(or other languages if a case can be made). Fields of investigation are
open, however, and include linguistics, communication, orthography,
semiotics, discourse analysis, translation studies, etc. This will be a
peer-reviewed work, so research rigor is expected. Papers are expected to
be about 10,000 words on average. Please send your proposal to me, Muhamed
Osman Al Khalil, at muhamed.alkhalil at nyu.edu .

Kind regards,

Muhamed Osman Al Khalil, Ph.D.

another
خـيـط حـرير على حـيـط خلـيل

one more
خشبت الحبـس حبـست خمـس خشـبات وخشـبة

another one which is quite long
تكت كتكوتنا كتكوتتين فهل يستطيع كتكوتكم ان يتكتك تكتوكتين مثلما تكتك
تكتوكنا تكتوكتين

the following is from Moroccan I think
علاش ما تليفونيتوش لينا كون تليفونيتو لينا كون تليفونينا ليكم

another is

Call for Papers: Mobile Language Learning

Special Issue Editors: Glenn Stockwell & Susana Sotillo

There has been increased interest in portable technologies which allow
learners to access tools for learning languages in virtually any time
or place that suits them. The quickly developing functionalities of
mobile phones, MP3 players, laptop and tablet computers, and other
hand-held devices with touch screen technology mean that the range of
possibilities for language learning has greatly diversified.
Godwin-Jones (2011), for example, points out that iPhone and Android
phones have ushered in a phenomenal expansion in the development of
Apps for just about every topic under the sun, and educators have been
exploring the value of Apps for learning specific skills (e.g., math,
geometry) and language since 2009. The interest in such mobile
technologies for learning languages has also been reflected in recent
literature, with the appearance of studies using mobile technologies,
such as podcasts (e.g., Rosell-Aguilar, 2006), short message service
(SMS) (e.g., Levy & Kennedy, 2008; Sotillo, 2010; Thurlow, 2003,
2009), and mobile phones (Stockwell, 2010), to name a few. This
special issue of Language Learning & Technology seeks to provide a
variety of perspectives on learning through mobile technologies, with
a particular focus on corpus-based or empirical studies investigating
how the use of these technologies affect and are affected by the
language learning environment, or discussions of theoretical issues
associated with learning through mobile technologies.

Please consult the LLT Website for general guidelines on submission
(http://llt.msu.edu/contrib.html) and research
(http://llt.msu.edu/resguide.html) and note that articles containing
only descriptions of software or pedagogical procedures without
presenting in-depth empirical data and analysis on language learning
processes or outcomes will not be considered.

Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

     * Practical issues of mobile language learning
     * Theories applicable to mobile language learning
     * Autonomy and/or self-directed learning through mobile technologies
     * Teacher education for mobile language learning
     * Development of Apps and software for mobile language learning
     * Using mobile technologies for specialized language learning
     * Teaching second language pragmatics through mobile technologies

Please send letter of intent and 250-word abstract by February 1, 2012
to llted at hawaii.edu.

Publication timeline:

     * February 1, 2012: Submission deadline for abstracts
     * February 15, 2011: Invitation to authors to submit a manuscript
     * July 1, 2012: Submission deadline for manuscripts

Subject:Language and Literature conference in Oman

Full Title: Language and Literature: Challenges in an Aliterate Age

Date: 03-Dec-2012 - 05-Dec-2012
Location: Birkat al Mouz, Nizwa, Oman
Contact Person: Joseph Rega
Meeting Email: alitunizwa at gmail.com

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics; Translation

Subject Language(s): Arabic, Standard (arb)
                    English (eng)

Call Deadline: 30-Jun-2012

Meeting Description:

Aliteracy, the condition of being able to read but not doing so, is a
problematic fact in education, with particular repercussions in the
teaching of language, literature, linguistics and translation studies.
This lack of reading, with the attendant problem of delayed
acquisition of necessary vocabulary impedes understanding of course
content across programs. How then do we transfer knowledge to students
who simply don't read? How do we accommodate aliteracy within an
academic setting that depends on reading? Reading is a laborious
process in a second language - how does that affect students? How can
students acquire research skills in an age of effortless access to
information? How do we teach students how to separate the wheat from
the electronic chaff? How do we engage students without compromising
quality and competition? Connected to this is the equally troublesome
emergence of electronic epistemology, where knowledge is cut and
pasted from web sources like Wikipedia. What are the consequences of a
process-free access to knowledge? Instead of lamenting these facts,
this conference is aimed at finding ways to impart knowledge in an
increasingly aliterate age, recognizing the often difficult transition
from oral-based transmission of knowledge to literary-based
transmission.

The University of Nizwa is an emerging institution of 8,000 students
dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in higher education in the
Sultanate of Oman. This conference is centered on Foreign Language
Learning, Arabic Language Studies, English Literature, Linguistics and
Translation Studies, but is not exclusive to these areas and
disciplines.

Call for Papers:

The dates for this conference are tentative, but the conference is
planned for late November 2012. This CFP will be updated shortly to
include definite dates and an accompanying website dedicated to
conference information. Please submit a 200-300 word abstract,
including your name, email address, and affiliation, by June 30, 2012
to Chairman:

alitunizwa at gmail.com

Subject:Dutch Role in Arabic Printing

Eurabic vs Arabic
A talk about the Dutch Role in Middle Eastern Arabic printing, in
Reykjavik, during the ATypI Conference last October is now posted by
river-valley.tv:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lJsfUQ-qqw

Summary:

Western scholars of Islam have a tradition of writing and printing
Arabic in a mixture of styles enriched with fantasy constructions.
This produced a new kind of script, Eurabic, while in the Middle East
typography for Islamic scripts only gained wide acceptance following
Ohannis Mühendisoğlu’s successful adhering to Arabic script grammar
with stylistic consistency. In the 20th century, superior Western
technology was exclusively geared to Eurabic, and as a result it
gained a powerful foothold in the Middle Eastern market. Computer
technology adapted Eurabic rather than Arabic, which led to a sudden
prominence of Eurabic to the detriment of Arabic.  Eurabic script is
now well-established and can be considered almost a separate branch in
the family of Semitic scripts. As the demand for script grammar-driven
Arabic remains, technical support for it on the computing platform is
growing steadily. As a result Arabic and Eurabic now exist side by
side.

Subject:Islamic New Years Resolutions

Hallo,
About your question, there is no reference or mention in al-quran
al-kareem or the sunnah of Muhammad-peace and blessings be upon
him-(hadith) for this tradition. Actually, the Islamic calendar was
issued and effected several years after the prophet's death, only the
point in time when the prophet immigrated (hijra) was chosen to be the
beginning date for the Islamic calendar. Therefore, celebrating a
hijri new year is considered an innovation, an imitation of other
customs, and is not constituted Islamically.
Repentance is encouraged throughout the year, but emphasized in the
fasting and pilgrimage seasons.

Ce colloque bisannuel permet aux chercheurs s'intéressant à la
diversité, aux variétés et variations des langues, des cultures et des
médias, d'échanger leurs idées, de partager les résultats de leurs
travaux liés aux notions de diversité, de variation, de pratiques et
de représentations dans les écrits, les discours et les moyens de
transmissions. Il constitue un lieu où peuvent se  discuter les
apports de la recherche en sciences humaines et sociales -notamment la
linguistique, la sociolinguistique, l'anthropologie, la sociologie,
l'ethnologie culturelle, la psychologie, la psychologie sociale, la
philosophie, les sciences de l'information et de la communication et
les autres domaines connexes - à la compréhension des mécanismes
sous-jacents à la production du sens et de sa circulation dans
l'espace méditerranéen à travers l'usage des langues et des médias.

Les différentes approches des langues écrites et/ou parlées,
officielles, étrangères, secondes ou d' « intégration » en
Méditerranée doivent prendre en compte les critères contextuels et
sociohistoriques qui ont commandé aussi bien le processus d'existence,
de stabilisation et/ou de déstabilisation que celui qui a présidé aux
mutations des langues  et à la migration des individus et des groupes
(littérature, textes juridiques et administratifs, textes religieux,
formes parémiques et sentencieuses, etc.). La considération du statut
et du poids des langues en coexistence conduit à prendre en charge une
réflexion s'articulant autour des représentations linguistiques, de
leurs genèses et de leurs structurations en discours.

Le traitement des langues d'usage en Méditerranée s'élaborera en
corrélation avec une réflexion sur leurs prises en charge dans et par
les médias. Au-delà des caractéristiques purement linguistiques, comme
l'utilisation des emprunts, de l'alternance codique, les langues des
médias en Méditerranée (du moins au sud) se distinguent par leur
hybridité, leur hétérogénéité et leur interculturalité. Elles
reflètent l'image d'un espace mixte, divers  et multiculturel. Ce
colloque, au-delà de l'interrogation sur l'interculturel, sur
l'identité et ses représentations, sera l'occasion d'approcher les
médias, leur genre, leurs discours, leurs stratégies et leurs liens
avec le culturel, le cultuel et le politique. Il laissera donc une
place à l'examen  des croyances et de leur influence sur la réception,
la construction des événements et le changement des pratiques sociales
et culturelles. Et à la lumière des événements qui secouent
actuellement l'espace méditerranéen, nous nous demanderons si les
médias sont une arme dangereuse ou une forme de libération des
esprits, des langues et des plumes.

Appel à Communications :

Les axes:

1. Situation des langues écrites et/ou orales en Méditerranée:
variation, diversité, mixité et représentations sociolinguistiques.
2. Espaces, langues, médias, textes, discours, cultures et identité
3. Langues et médias : grammaire, sémantique, phonétique, pragmatique,
phraséologie, parémiologie et figement

(nouveaux enjeux, nouvelles langues et nouveaux médias)
6. La formation aux langues et aux médias : dispositifs, méthodes,
labellisations et représentations

I would recommend the wordreference.com Arabic
forums<http://forum.wordreference.com/forumdisplay.php?f=41> and
dictionaries. One can usually find some kind of answer there.

One used to be able to search a pretty decent dictionary of technical,
scientific terms through the Arabic Academy of Egypt website (مجمع اللغة
العربية بالقاهرة).The website is now defunct, apparently, but here's an
internet archive link.

Subject:Host Guest Teacher from Egypt

Dear Arabic-L Members:

Our non-profit organization, American Councils for International Education,
would like to share information about two programs that expose K-12 schools
and students to Arabic and Chinese language and culture. Both programs are
fully funded through the U.S. State Department.

*Host a Guest Teacher from China or Egypt*

The Teachers of Critical Languages Program (TCLP) provides U.S. K-12
schools with the opportunity to host fully funded exchange teachers from
Egypt and China for an entire academic year in order to begin *or* further
grow an Arabic or Mandarin program. Public, private, or religious schools
from all corners of the nation are encouraged to apply. Bring the world to
your school by introducing Arabic or Chinese language and culture to your
students.

TCLP provides teachers’ salaries, healthcare, roundtrip airfare, training,
professional development funds, and ongoing program support. To increase
the number of Americans teaching and learning these critical languages,
selected host schools also receive access to grant opportunities to support
language learning projects.

To learn more about the program benefits and requirements, please read
about our Program Timeline and
Details<http://www.americancouncils.org/TCLP/Host_Intro.pdf>,
or check out our introduction
video<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzWlGEzYn68>.

To apply, please visit www.tclprogram.org or email tclp at americancouncils.org
.

*Extended Program Application Deadline*: February 1, 2012

*Study Language in China or Egypt*

Intensive Summer Language Institutes (ISLI) provides fellowships for U.S.
classroom teachers to spend six weeks overseas studying intermediate and
advanced-level Arabic in Alexandria, Egypt, and Chinese in Changchun,
China. Current K-12 teachers, community college instructors of Arabic and
Mandarin Chinese, and students enrolled in education programs who intend to
teach these languages can apply. Participants earn ten hours of graduate
credit through Bryn Mawr College, and are provided with peer tutors and
roundtrip airfare. All travel and study-related costs are fully covered.
For more information, please visit www.americancouncils.org/isli or email
isli at americancouncils.org.

*Program Application Deadline*: March 2, 2012

Sincerely,
Alena Palevitz

الزملاء والزميلات الاعزاء،
كل عام وحضراتكم بخير.
نحن - وحدة التعلم باستخدام الكمبيوتر بمعهد اللغة العربية بالجامعة الامريكية
بالقاهرة - بصدد عمل تطبيق ( web application  ) عن حساب الجمل او الحساب في
علم الجفر الذي يعتمد على الرقم العددي - كما هو موضح باللون الاسود ادناه -
لكل حرف من حروف الهجاء، والذي من خلاله يستطيع الباحث ان يقوم بادخال كلمة او
جملة ويظهر له الرقم العددي للمدخل بدلا من استخدام الالة الحاسبة لكل كلمة.
وبعد التصفح في الانترنت وبعض الكتب مازال لدي بعض الاسئلة وارجو من لديه
معلومات بمرجعية ان يفيدنا بخصوص الاسئلة التالية:

1- الرقم العددي للحرف المشدد (عليه شدة) فعلى سبيل المثال " الله ، نزّلنا"
فهل يحسب حرف " ز " مثلا على انه 7 ام 14 على اعتبار انه مضعف؟

2- الرقم العددي للألف المقصورة ( ى ) مثل كلمة " اقصى " فهل تحسب الالف
المقصورة كألف اي بالعدد واحد ( 1 ) ام بصفر؟ علما بأن  *عبارة (المسجد الأقصى
) تُرسم في المصحف العثماني هكذا ( المسجد الأقصا )*

3- الرقم العددي للحرف الذي به تنوين مثل "كتابٍ" أو " يومٌ " او " مكنونٌ "
او " شيئأ " او " مساءً"

4- الرقم العددي لبعض اشكال الهمزة - كما ورد في كتاب د. محمود الجبالي عن
اعراب الارقام - مثل (ء ، ئ، يء ، ؤ) هو صفر، فما الرقم العددي لكل من  أَ ،
إِ ، أُ : صفر ام واحد؟

5- الرقم العددي للالف المدة  آ "

6- الرقم العددي للتاء المربوطة (ة) وهل تحسب كتاء مفتوحة ( ت ) اي برقم 400
ام  على انها هاء (هـ) اي برقم 5؟

7- الرقم العددي لكمة  "بقيت" كما جاء في القران الكريم " بقيت الله " فهل
تحسب كتاء مفتوحة ام كتاء مربوطة؟ اعتقد انها تحسب كتاء مفتوحة لأنها كتبت
هكذا لكن قد يكون لدى حضراتكم في البحث رأي اخر


ا = 1 ، ب=2، ج=3، د=4، ه=5، و=6، ز=7، ح=8، ط=9 .

ي=10 ، ك=20، ل=30، م=40، ن=50، س=60، ع=70، ف=80، ص=90.

Subject:Query on root 'nHr'

I was wondering if anyone could point me to some information regarding the
root nḥr which, in Badawi/Haleem's Dictionary of Qur'anic Usage, is given
as 'chest, the upper part of the chest, the throat, to slaughter; to
strive' (p 921). The entry implies that there is only one place in the
Qur'an in which a derivative of the root occurs (108:2), and that it's
debated as to whether it has here the meaning of 'stand upright', or to
'(make a) sacrifice'.

I'm particularly interested, however, in the first interpretations given –
'chest, upper part of the chest'. I've consulted pretty much all of the
relevant Semitic language dictionaries looking for cognates, and the
closest I've gotten to these is a supposed Aramaic nḥr, 'kill by stabbing
(in nose or throat)', and the (surely comical) Arabic naḥara, 'stab (a
camel in the windpipe)'. These are still a very far cry from 'chest, the
upper part of the chest', however, and I'd greatly appreciate a lead for
these.

Thanks a lot.

Subject:Written Arabic Conference at Hebrew University

WRITTEN ARABIC, WRITING ARABIC: CALL FOR PAPERS
Dear Colleagues,
We are very pleased to invite you to contribute to the First International
Conference on Written Arabic, which will be held from 19 to 21 June
2012 at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem.

The First International Conference on Written Arabic is intended to
establish a new framework for discussing a wide range of linguistic and
stylistic aspects of written Arabic, e.g., orthography (and pronunciation
of the text), morphology, micro-syntax and macro-syntax, discourse
analysis, style and literary and semi-literary genres. Participants will,
it is hoped, include specialists of different periods and different
varieties of Arabic. We believe that an interdisciplinary approach to these
topics, transecting the traditional fields in the research of Arabic and
studying and dealing with Arabic “without adjectives”,  will enhance our
knowledge of the patterns of development of written Arabic, the distinct
features defining each variety and the solid features  that are present
throughout the cultural continuum of writing Arabic.

The new framework for the study of written Arabic is a joint international
project: the first conference at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem, will be
followed by a second conference at Roma Tre University, Rome.
Colleagues who wish to give a paper are requested to send a tentative title
and an abstract (250 words), no later than  10 March 2012, to:

writtenarabic at mail.huji.ac.il

Papers may be given in English, French or Arabic and are allotted 20 min.
followed by 10 min. discussion. Presentation of ongoing projects as well as
final results of a research project are welcome. PhD students and young
researchers are warmly invited to contribute.

A final list of contributors, abstracts and the general schedule will be
published on the conference website in April 2012. All information on
transportation and accommodation will also be found there.
Organizers:
Prof. Giuliano Lancioni
Prof. Gabriel M. Rosenbaum
Mrs. Michal Marmorstein
Mr. Guy Ron-Gilboa

Subject:Arabic As World Language Conference Buyer Beware Warning

Dear Dil,
My apologies to bother you.
I have been following closely on this organization. It has nothing to do
with UNESCO or any of the UN organizations. I checked UNESCO site for
this conference nothing of the sort.
As I work for the UN, I have checked with UN offices in Lebanon, they have
no idea about it.
I have reported them to UNESCO to check on them and if they are really
affiliated with them.
The outrageous amount of subscription is what made me suspect them, their
site which has been empty with no addition at all except some articles
taken from other sources not even their own. Also one of the names
mentioned on their site has had many problems with different organizations
before.
If I receive any answer from UN office in Lebanon or UNESCO in France, I
will inform you.
Salaam and taHeyyaat,
Samia

Subject:Help with Moroccan Arabic stress placement

I was wondering if any speakers of Moroccan Arabic could help me out
with stress placement on some of my experimental materials.  As I
understand it, stress in Moroccan should be quite regular, but I think
it's important to check with native speakers to make sure I haven't
missed something.  If you speak Moroccan, could you take the time to
go through this list of words and make a note of where the stress is?


In order not to bias anyone, I am just giving a rough romanized
transcription of the words without stress or syllables marked.  Feel
free to alter my spellings, and please indicate stress by spelling the
stressed syllable in capital letters.  For example:

ktab 'book'  -->  k TAB

If a word is all one syllable, you can write the whole thing in capital letters.

Here is the list:

Subject:Revised deadlines for Arabic in "Arab Spring" CFP

Dear Colleagues,

I am currently working with Georgetown University Press on producing an
edited volume on the various language-related phenomena attending the Arab
revolutions. If you are interested in contributing a paper/chapter to this
volume, please send me a one page abstract summarizing your topic, basic
proposition(s), research basis, and expected conclusions. The central theme
of this volume is language, so all proposals need to maintain thematic
relevance by exploring the various ways the revolts have impacted the
Arabic language (or other languages if a case can be made). Fields of
investigation are open, however, and include linguistics, communication,
orthography, semiotics, discourse analysis, translation studies, etc. This
will be a peer-reviewed work, so research rigor is expected. Papers are
expected to be about 10,000 words on average. Please send your proposal to
me, Muhamed Osman Al Khalil, at muhamed.alkhalil at nyu.edu . Deadline for
proposal consideration is Jan 31, 2012. Submission deadline for finished
papers will be July 31, 2012.

Kind regards,

Muhamed Osman Al Khalil, Ph.D.

Subject:root 'nHr' response

Salaam,
I tried to check Lasan Al-3arab for the root and Here's what I found:
نَّحْرُ: الصَّدْر. والنُّحُورُ: الصدُور. ابن سيده: نَحْرُ الصدر أَعلاه،
وقيل: هو موضعُ القلادة منه، وهو المَنْحَر، مدكر لا غير؛ صرح اللحياني بذلك،
وجمعه نُحور لا يُكَسَّر على غير ذلك. ونَحَره ينْحَره نَحْراً: أَصاب
نَحْرَه. ونَحَر البعيرَ ينحَره نحراً: طَعَنه في مَنْحَرِه حيث يبدو الحُلقوم
من أَعلى الصدْر؛ وجَمَلٌ نَحِير في جمال نَحْرى ونُحَراء ونَحائِرَ، وناقة
نَحِير ونَحِيرَة في أَنْيُق نَحْرى ونُحَرَاء ونَحائرَ. ويومُ النَّحر: عاشر
ذي الحجة يومُ الأَضحى لأَن البُدْنَ تُنحر فيه. والمنْحَر: الموضع الذي يُنحر
فيه الهدْي وغيره.
وتَناحَرَ القومُ على الشيء وانْتَحَرُوا: تَشاحُّوا عليه فكاد بعضهم يَنْحَر
بعضاً من شِدّة حِرْصِهم، وتناحَرُوا في القِتال.
والنَّاحِرَانِ والنَّاحِرَتانِ: عِرْقان في النحر، وفي الصحاح: الناحِران
عِرْقانِ في صَدر الفَرَس. المحكم: والناحِرَتانِ ضِلعان من أَضلاع الزَّوْرِ،
وقيل: هما الواهِنَتانِ، وقال ابن الأَعرابي: الناحِرَتان التَّرْقُوَتانِ من
الناس والإِبِل وغيرهم. غيرُه: والجَوانِحُ ما رُفِع عليه الكَتِف من الدابة
والبعير، ومن الإِنسان الدَّأْيُ، والدَّأْيُ ما كان من قِبَلِ الظهر، وهي
سِتٌّ ثلاثٌ من كل جانب، وهي من الصدر الجوانح لِجُنُوحِها على القلب؛ وقال:
الكتف على ثلاثة أَضلاع من جانب وستة أَضلاع من جانب، وهذه الستة يقال لها
الدَّأَياتُ. أَبو زيد: الجوانح أَدنى الضلوع من المنحر، وفيهن الناحِرات وهي
ثلاث من كل جانب، ثم الدَّأَياتُ وهي ثلاث من كل شقٍّ، ثم يبقى بعد ذلك ست من
كل جانب متصلات بالشَّراسِيفِ لا يسمونها إِلا الأَضلاع، ثم ضِلَع الخَلْفِ
وهي أَواخر الضلوع.
ونَحْرُ النهار: أَولُه. وأَتيتُه في نَحْرِ النهار أَي أَوله، وكذلك في
نَحْرِ الظهيرة. وفي حديث الهجرة: أَتانا رسول اللَّه، صلى اللَّه عليه وسلم،
في نَحْرِ الظَّهِيرَةِ؛ هو حين تبلغ الشمس مُنتهاها من الارتفاع كأَنها
وصَلَتْ إِلى النحر، وهو أَعلى الصدر. وفي حديث الإِفْكِ: حتى أَتينا الجيشَ
في نَحْرِ الظهيرة. وفي حديث وابِصَةَ: أَتاني ابن مسعود في نَحْرِ الظهيرة
فقلت: أَيَّةُ ساعةِ زيادةٍ، ونُحُورُ الشُّهور: أَوائِلُها، وكل ذلك على
المَثَلِ. والنَّحِيرَةُ: أَوّل يوم من الشهر، ويقال لآخر ليلة من الشهرِ
نَحِيرَةٌ لأَنها تَنْحَرُ الهلال؛ قال الكميت: فَبادَرَ لَيْلَةَ لا
مُـقْـمِـرٍ،
نَحِيرَةَ شهرٍ لِشهرٍ سِرَارَا  أَراد ليلة لا رَجُلٍ مُقْمِرٍ، والسِّرارُ:
مردودٌ على الليلة، ونَحِيرَة: فعيلة بمعنى فاعلة لأَنها تَنْحَر الهلال أَي
تَسْتقبِله، وقيل: النَّحِيرَة آخر يوم من شهر لأَنه يَنْحَر الذي يَدخل بعده،
وقيل: النَّحِيرة لأَنها تنحَر التي قبلها أَي تستقبلها في نحرها، والجمع
ناحِراتٌ ونَواحِرُ، نادران؛ قال الكميت يصف فعل الأَمطار بالديار: والغَيْثُ
بالـمُـتَـأَلِّـقـا
تِ من الأَهلَّة في النَّواحِرْ  وقال: النَّحِيرة آخر ليلة من الشهر مع يومها
لأَنها تَنْحَر الذي يدخل بعدها أَي تصير في نحره، فهي ناحرة؛ وقال ابن أَحمر
الباهلي: ثم اسْتمرّ عليه واكِفٌ هَـمِـعٌ
في ليلة نَحَرَتْ شعبانَ أَو رجبا  قال الأَزهري: معناه أَنه يَستقبل أَوّل
الشهر ويقال له ناحِرٌ. وفي الحديث: أَنه خرج وقد بَكَّروا بصلاة الضحى، فقال:
نَحَرُوها نَحَرَهُمُ لله أي صَلَّوْها في أَول وقتها من نَحْرِ الشهر، وهو
أَوله؛ قال ابن الأَثير: وقوله نحرهم الله يحتمل أَن يكون دعاءً لهم، أَي
بكَّرهم الله بالخير كما بكَّروا بالصلاة في أَول وقتها، ويحتمل أَن يكون
دعاءً عليهم بالنَّحْرِ والذبح لأنهم غَيَّروا وقتها؛ وقوله أَنشده ثعلب: مرفوعةٌ
مِثلُ نَوْءِ السِّـمَـا
كِ، وافَقَ غُرَّةَ شهرٍ نَحِيرا  قال ابن سيده: أَرى نَحِيراً فعيلاً بمعنى
مفعول، فهو هلى هذا صفة لِلْغُرَّة، قال: وقد يجوز أَن يكون النَّحِيرُ لغة في
النَّحِيرة.
والدَّارَانِ تَتناحَرَانِ أَي تَتقابلانِ، وإِذا استقبلتْ دَارٌ دَاراً قيل:
هذه تَنْحَرُ تلك؛ وقال الفرّاء: سمعت بعض العرب يقول منازلُهم تَناحَرُ هذا
بِنَحْرِ هذا أَي قُبالَتِهِ؛ قال وأَنشدني بعض بني أَسد: أَبا حَكَمٍ، هل
أَنتَ عمُّ مُجالِـدٍ
وسيِّدُ أَهلِ الأَبْطَحِ المُتناحِرِ?  وفي الحديث: حتى تُدْعَقَ الخيول في
نَواحِرِ أَرضهم أَي مُقابِلاتِها؛ يقال: منازل بني فلان تَتَناحَرُ أَي
تَتَقابَلُ؛ وقول الشاعر: أَوْرَدْتُهم وصُدورُ العِيسِ مُسْنَـفَةٌ
والصبحُ بالكَوكَبِ الدُّرِّيِّ مَنْحُورُ  أَي مستقبَلٌ. ونَحَرَ الرجلُ في
الصلاة يَنْحَرُ: انتصب ونَهَدَ صَدْرُه. وقوله تعالى: فصلِّ لربك وانحرْ؛
قيل: هو وضع اليمين على الشمال في الصلاة؛ قال ابن سيده: وأَراها لغة شرعية،
وقيل: معناه وانْحَرِ البُدْن، وقال طائفة: أُمِرَ بنحر النُّسك بعد الصلاة،
وقيل: أَمر بأَن ينتصِب بنَحْره بإِزاء القبلة وأَن لا يلتفتَ يميناً ولا
شمالاً؛ وقال الفراء: معناه استقبل القبلة بِنَحْرِك. ابن الأَعرابي:
النَّحْرَة انتصاب الرجلُ في الصلاة بإِزاء المحراب.
والنَّحْرُ والنِّحْريرُ: الحاذق الماهر العاقل المجرِّب، وقيل: النِّحريرُ
الرجل الطَّبِنُ الفطِن المُتْقِن البصِير في كل شيء، وجمعه النَّحارِير. وفي
حديث حُذيفة: وُكِّلَتِ الفِتنةُ بثلاثة: بالحادِّ النحرير، وهو الفطِن البصير
بكل شيء.
والنَّحْرُ في اللَّبَّة: مثلُ الذبح في الحلق. ورجل مِنْحار، وهو للمبالغة:
يوصف بالجود. ومن كلام العرب: إِنه لَمِنْحارٌ بَوائِكَها أَي يَنْحَرُ سِمانَ
الإِبلِ.
ويقال للسحاب إذا انْعَقَّ بماء كثير: انْتَحَرَ انْتِحاراً؛ وقال الراعي: فمرّ
على منازِلِها، وأَلقـى
بها الأَثْقالَ، وانْتَحر انْتِحارا  وقال عديّ بن زيد يصف الغيث: مَرِحٌ
وَبْلُهُ يَسُحُّ سُيُوبَ ال
ماءِ سَحّاً، كأَنه مَنْحُـورُ ودائرةُ الناحِرِ تكون في الجِرَانِ إِلى أَسفل
من ذلك. ويقال: انْتَحر الرجلُ اي نَحَر نفسه. وفي المثل: سُرِقَ السارِقُ
فانْتَحَر.
وبَرَقَ نَحْرُهُ: اسم رجل؛ وأَورد الجوهري في نخر بيتاً لغَيلان بن حُريث
شاهداً على مُنْخورِه لغة في الأَنْفِ وهو: من لَدُ لَحْيَيْه إِلى
مُنْخُورِه قال ابن بري: صواب إِنشاده كما أَنشده سيبويه إِلى
مُنْحُورِهِ، بالحاء.
Please let me know if you need the translation for this in English.
Best,
Adel Eldaba

I would like to know if any of you have some information about New
Year's resolutions tradition in the arab/muslim culture for Muharram
and if it is mentioned in the Qoran or by the Hadaith. I guess it is
mainly related to the concepts of tobah and da3oa.
Thank you

circulate within this global network in pursuit of common research
interests, the promotion of cross-cultural understanding and solutions
for problems, both local and global.

Entering its second year, NYU Abu Dhabi has already recruited a cohort

Subject:Mobile Language Learning

Call for Papers: Mobile Language Learning

Special Issue Editors: Glenn Stockwell & Susana Sotillo

There has been increased interest in portable technologies which allow
learners to access tools for learning languages in virtually any time
or place that suits them. The quickly developing functionalities of
mobile phones, MP3 players, laptop and tablet computers, and other
hand-held devices with touch screen technology mean that the range of
possibilities for language learning has greatly diversified.
Godwin-Jones (2011), for example, points out that iPhone and Android
phones have ushered in a phenomenal expansion in the development of
Apps for just about every topic under the sun, and educators have been
exploring the value of Apps for learning specific skills (e.g., math,
geometry) and language since 2009. The interest in such mobile
technologies for learning languages has also been reflected in recent
literature, with the appearance of studies using mobile technologies,
such as podcasts (e.g., Rosell-Aguilar, 2006), short message service
(SMS) (e.g., Levy & Kennedy, 2008; Sotillo, 2010; Thurlow, 2003,
2009), and mobile phones (Stockwell, 2010), to name a few. This
special issue of Language Learning & Technology seeks to provide a
variety of perspectives on learning through mobile technologies, with
a particular focus on corpus-based or empirical studies investigating
how the use of these technologies affect and are affected by the
language learning environment, or discussions of theoretical issues
associated with learning through mobile technologies.

Please consult the LLT Website for general guidelines on submission
(http://llt.msu.edu/contrib.html) and research
(http://llt.msu.edu/resguide.html) and note that articles containing
only descriptions of software or pedagogical procedures without
presenting in-depth empirical data and analysis on language learning
processes or outcomes will not be considered.

Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

? ? ?* Practical issues of mobile language learning
? ? ?* Theories applicable to mobile language learning
? ? ?* Autonomy and/or self-directed learning through mobile technologies
? ? ?* Teacher education for mobile language learning
? ? ?* Development of Apps and software for mobile language learning
? ? ?* Using mobile technologies for specialized language learning
? ? ?* Teaching second language pragmatics through mobile technologies

Please send letter of intent and 250-word abstract by February 1, 2012
to llted at hawaii.edu.

Publication timeline:

? ? ?* February 1, 2012: Submission deadline for abstracts
? ? ?* February 15, 2011: Invitation to authors to submit a manuscript
? ? ?* July 1, 2012: Submission deadline for manuscripts

Subject:Language and Literature conference in Oman

Full Title: Language and Literature: Challenges in an Aliterate Age

Date: 03-Dec-2012 - 05-Dec-2012
Location: Birkat al Mouz, Nizwa, Oman
Contact Person: Joseph Rega
Meeting Email: alitunizwa at gmail.com

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics; Translation

Subject Language(s): Arabic, Standard (arb)
                    English (eng)

Call Deadline: 30-Jun-2012

Meeting Description:

Aliteracy, the condition of being able to read but not doing so, is a
problematic fact in education, with particular repercussions in the
teaching of language, literature, linguistics and translation studies.
This lack of reading, with the attendant problem of delayed
acquisition of necessary vocabulary impedes understanding of course
content across programs. How then do we transfer knowledge to students
who simply don't read? How do we accommodate aliteracy within an
academic setting that depends on reading? Reading is a laborious
process in a second language - how does that affect students? How can
students acquire research skills in an age of effortless access to
information? How do we teach students how to separate the wheat from
the electronic chaff? How do we engage students without compromising
quality and competition? Connected to this is the equally troublesome
emergence of electronic epistemology, where knowledge is cut and
pasted from web sources like Wikipedia. What are the consequences of a
process-free access to knowledge? Instead of lamenting these facts,
this conference is aimed at finding ways to impart knowledge in an
increasingly aliterate age, recognizing the often difficult transition
from oral-based transmission of knowledge to literary-based
transmission.

The University of Nizwa is an emerging institution of 8,000 students
dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in higher education in the
Sultanate of Oman. This conference is centered on Foreign Language
Learning, Arabic Language Studies, English Literature, Linguistics and
Translation Studies, but is not exclusive to these areas and
disciplines.

Call for Papers:

The dates for this conference are tentative, but the conference is
planned for late November 2012. This CFP will be updated shortly to
include definite dates and an accompanying website dedicated to
conference information. Please submit a 200-300 word abstract,
including your name, email address, and affiliation, by June 30, 2012
to Chairman:

alitunizwa at gmail.com

Subject:Dutch Role in Arabic Printing

Eurabic vs Arabic
A talk about the Dutch Role in Middle Eastern Arabic printing, in
Reykjavik, during the ATypI Conference last October is now posted by
river-valley.tv:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lJsfUQ-qqw

Summary:

Western scholars of Islam have a tradition of writing and printing
Arabic in a mixture of styles enriched with fantasy constructions.
This produced a new kind of script, Eurabic, while in the Middle East
typography for Islamic scripts only gained wide acceptance following
Ohannis M?hendiso?lu?s successful adhering to Arabic script grammar
with stylistic consistency. In the 20th century, superior Western
technology was exclusively geared to Eurabic, and as a result it
gained a powerful foothold in the Middle Eastern market. Computer
technology adapted Eurabic rather than Arabic, which led to a sudden
prominence of Eurabic to the detriment of Arabic. ?Eurabic script is
now well-established and can be considered almost a separate branch in
the family of Semitic scripts. As the demand for script grammar-driven
Arabic remains, technical support for it on the computing platform is
growing steadily. As a result Arabic and Eurabic now exist side by
side.

Subject:Islamic New Years Resolutions

Hallo,
About your question, there is no reference or mention in al-quran
al-kareem or the sunnah of Muhammad-peace and blessings be upon
him-(hadith) for this tradition. Actually, the Islamic calendar was
issued and effected several years after the prophet's death, only the
point in time when the prophet immigrated (hijra) was chosen to be the
beginning date for the Islamic calendar. Therefore, celebrating a
hijri new year is considered an innovation, an imitation of other
customs, and is not constituted Islamically.
Repentance is encouraged throughout the year, but emphasized in the
fasting and pilgrimage seasons.

Meeting Description:

Langues, Cultures et M?dias en M?diterran?e: Diversit?, Variation,
Pratiques et Repr?sentations
Colloque International, Ouarzazate, 15-17 Octobre 2012

Conf?rences Pl?ni?res :

Henri Boyer, Universit? Paul-Val?ry (Montpellier III) : Comment la
publicit? t?l?vis?e fran?aise met en sc?ne les identit?s
ethnosociolinguistiques : continuit?s et ?volutions

Miloud Taifi, Universit? Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah (F?s) :
Linguistique de ?l'usage et usage des m?dias

Organis? pour la premi?re fois au sud de la M?diterran?e, en mai 2010,
par l'Equipe de Recherche: Culture, M?dias, Identit? (ERCMI), le
colloque ? Langues et m?dias en M?diterran?e ? relance sa seconde
?dition ? Ouarzazate sous la th?matique Langues, Cultures et M?dias en
M?diterran?e : diversit?, variation, pratiques et repr?sentations. Il
aura lieu ? la Facult? Polydisciplinaire de Ouarzazate (Universit? Ibn
Zohr-Agadir) du 15 au 17 octobre 2012.

Ce colloque bisannuel permet aux chercheurs s'int?ressant ? la
diversit?, aux vari?t?s et variations des langues, des cultures et des
m?dias, d'?changer leurs id?es, de partager les r?sultats de leurs
travaux li?s aux notions de diversit?, de variation, de pratiques et
de repr?sentations dans les ?crits, les discours et les moyens de
transmissions. Il constitue un lieu o? peuvent se ?discuter les
apports de la recherche en sciences humaines et sociales -notamment la
linguistique, la sociolinguistique, l'anthropologie, la sociologie,
l'ethnologie culturelle, la psychologie, la psychologie sociale, la
philosophie, les sciences de l'information et de la communication et
les autres domaines connexes - ? la compr?hension des m?canismes
sous-jacents ? la production du sens et de sa circulation dans
l'espace m?diterran?en ? travers l'usage des langues et des m?dias.

Les diff?rentes approches des langues ?crites et/ou parl?es,
officielles, ?trang?res, secondes ou d' ? int?gration ? en
M?diterran?e doivent prendre en compte les crit?res contextuels et
sociohistoriques qui ont command? aussi bien le processus d'existence,
de stabilisation et/ou de d?stabilisation que celui qui a pr?sid? aux
mutations des langues ?et ? la migration des individus et des groupes
(litt?rature, textes juridiques et administratifs, textes religieux,
formes par?miques et sentencieuses, etc.). La consid?ration du statut
et du poids des langues en coexistence conduit ? prendre en charge une
r?flexion s'articulant autour des repr?sentations linguistiques, de
leurs gen?ses et de leurs structurations en discours.

Le traitement des langues d'usage en M?diterran?e s'?laborera en
corr?lation avec une r?flexion sur leurs prises en charge dans et par
les m?dias. Au-del? des caract?ristiques purement linguistiques, comme
l'utilisation des emprunts, de l'alternance codique, les langues des
m?dias en M?diterran?e (du moins au sud) se distinguent par leur
hybridit?, leur h?t?rog?n?it? et leur interculturalit?. Elles
refl?tent l'image d'un espace mixte, divers ?et multiculturel. Ce
colloque, au-del? de l'interrogation sur l'interculturel, sur
l'identit? et ses repr?sentations, sera l'occasion d'approcher les
m?dias, leur genre, leurs discours, leurs strat?gies et leurs liens
avec le culturel, le cultuel et le politique. Il laissera donc une
place ? l'examen ?des croyances et de leur influence sur la r?ception,
la construction des ?v?nements et le changement des pratiques sociales
et culturelles. Et ? la lumi?re des ?v?nements qui secouent
actuellement l'espace m?diterran?en, nous nous demanderons si les
m?dias sont une arme dangereuse ou une forme de lib?ration des
esprits, des langues et des plumes.

Appel ? Communications :

Les axes:

1. Situation des langues ?crites et/ou orales en M?diterran?e:
variation, diversit?, mixit? et repr?sentations sociolinguistiques.
2. Espaces, langues, m?dias, textes, discours, cultures et identit?
3. Langues et m?dias : grammaire, s?mantique, phon?tique, pragmatique,

I would recommend the wordreference.com Arabic
forums<http://forum.wordreference.com/forumdisplay.php?f=41> and
dictionaries. One can usually find some kind of answer there.

One used to be able to search a pretty decent dictionary of technical,
scientific terms through the Arabic Academy of Egypt website (???? ?????
??????? ????????).The website is now defunct, apparently, but here's an
internet archive link.

find some typing mistakes) and they have the Agh?n?.

And I'm not sure this one counts as a tongue twister; my informant
kept saying it so fast, I finally had to Google it to get it right:

A search on Google will show slight variations but essentially the same theme.

Subject:Host Guest Teacher from Egypt

Dear Arabic-L Members:

Our non-profit organization, American Councils for International Education,
would like to share information about two programs that expose K-12 schools
and students to Arabic and Chinese language and culture. Both programs are
fully funded through the U.S. State Department.

*Host a Guest Teacher from China or Egypt*

The Teachers of Critical Languages Program (TCLP) provides U.S. K-12
schools with the opportunity to host fully funded exchange teachers from
Egypt and China for an entire academic year in order to begin *or* further
grow an Arabic or Mandarin program. Public, private, or religious schools
from all corners of the nation are encouraged to apply. Bring the world to
your school by introducing Arabic or Chinese language and culture to your
students.

TCLP provides teachers? salaries, healthcare, roundtrip airfare, training,
professional development funds, and ongoing program support. To increase
the number of Americans teaching and learning these critical languages,
selected host schools also receive access to grant opportunities to support
language learning projects.

To learn more about the program benefits and requirements, please read
about our Program Timeline and
Details<http://www.americancouncils.org/TCLP/Host_Intro.pdf>,
or check out our introduction
video<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzWlGEzYn68>.

To apply, please visit www.tclprogram.org or email tclp at americancouncils.org
.

*Extended Program Application Deadline*: February 1, 2012

*Study Language in China or Egypt*

Intensive Summer Language Institutes (ISLI) provides fellowships for U.S.
classroom teachers to spend six weeks overseas studying intermediate and
advanced-level Arabic in Alexandria, Egypt, and Chinese in Changchun,
China. Current K-12 teachers, community college instructors of Arabic and
Mandarin Chinese, and students enrolled in education programs who intend to
teach these languages can apply. Participants earn ten hours of graduate
credit through Bryn Mawr College, and are provided with peer tutors and
roundtrip airfare. All travel and study-related costs are fully covered.
For more information, please visit www.americancouncils.org/isli or email
isli at americancouncils.org.

*Program Application Deadline*: March 2, 2012

Sincerely,
Alena Palevitz

Subject:Query on root 'nHr'

I was wondering if anyone could point me to some information regarding the
root n?r which, in Badawi/Haleem's Dictionary of Qur'anic Usage, is given
as 'chest, the upper part of the chest, the throat, to slaughter; to
strive' (p 921). The entry implies that there is only one place in the
Qur'an in which a derivative of the root occurs (108:2), and that it's
debated as to whether it has here the meaning of 'stand upright', or to
'(make a) sacrifice'.

I'm particularly interested, however, in the first interpretations given ?
'chest, upper part of the chest'. I've consulted pretty much all of the
relevant Semitic language dictionaries looking for cognates, and the
closest I've gotten to these is a supposed Aramaic n?r, 'kill by stabbing
(in nose or throat)', and the (surely comical) Arabic na?ara, 'stab (a
camel in the windpipe)'. These are still a very far cry from 'chest, the
upper part of the chest', however, and I'd greatly appreciate a lead for
these.

Thanks a lot.

Subject:Written Arabic Conference at Hebrew University

WRITTEN ARABIC, WRITING ARABIC: CALL FOR PAPERS
Dear Colleagues,
We are very pleased to invite you to contribute to the First International
Conference on Written Arabic, which will be held from 19 to 21 June
2012 at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem.

The First International Conference on Written Arabic is intended to
establish a new framework for discussing a wide range of linguistic and
stylistic aspects of written Arabic, e.g., orthography (and pronunciation
of the text), morphology, micro-syntax and macro-syntax, discourse
analysis, style and literary and semi-literary genres. Participants will,
it is hoped, include specialists of different periods and different
varieties of Arabic. We believe that an interdisciplinary approach to these
topics, transecting the traditional fields in the research of Arabic and
studying and dealing with Arabic ?without adjectives?,  will enhance our
knowledge of the patterns of development of written Arabic, the distinct
features defining each variety and the solid features  that are present
throughout the cultural continuum of writing Arabic.

The new framework for the study of written Arabic is a joint international
project: the first conference at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem, will be
followed by a second conference at Roma Tre University, Rome.
Colleagues who wish to give a paper are requested to send a tentative title
and an abstract (250 words), no later than  10 March 2012, to:

writtenarabic at mail.huji.ac.il

Papers may be given in English, French or Arabic and are allotted 20 min.
followed by 10 min. discussion. Presentation of ongoing projects as well as
final results of a research project are welcome. PhD students and young
researchers are warmly invited to contribute.

A final list of contributors, abstracts and the general schedule will be
published on the conference website in April 2012. All information on
transportation and accommodation will also be found there.
Organizers:
Prof. Giuliano Lancioni
Prof. Gabriel M. Rosenbaum
Mrs. Michal Marmorstein
Mr. Guy Ron-Gilboa

Subject:Arabic As World Language Conference Buyer Beware Warning

Dear Dil,
My apologies to bother you.
I have been following closely on this organization. It has nothing to do
with UNESCO or any of the UN organizations. I checked UNESCO site for
this conference nothing of the sort.
As I work for the UN, I have checked with UN offices in Lebanon, they have
no idea about it.
I have reported them to UNESCO to check on them and if they are really
affiliated with them.
The outrageous amount of subscription is what made me suspect them, their
site which has been empty with no addition at all except some articles
taken from other sources not even their own. Also one of the names
mentioned on their site has had many problems with different organizations
before.
If I receive any answer from UN office in Lebanon or UNESCO in France, I
will inform you.
Salaam and taHeyyaat,
Samia

Subject:Help with Moroccan Arabic stress placement

I was wondering if any speakers of Moroccan Arabic could help me out
with stress placement on some of my experimental materials.  As I
understand it, stress in Moroccan should be quite regular, but I think
it's important to check with native speakers to make sure I haven't
missed something.  If you speak Moroccan, could you take the time to
go through this list of words and make a note of where the stress is?


In order not to bias anyone, I am just giving a rough romanized
transcription of the words without stress or syllables marked.  Feel
free to alter my spellings, and please indicate stress by spelling the
stressed syllable in capital letters.  For example:

ktab 'book'  -->  k TAB

If a word is all one syllable, you can write the whole thing in capital letters.

Here is the list:

rmadi           'gray (m)'
3ammar          'he filled'
barrad          'teapot'

Subject:Revised deadlines for Arabic in "Arab Spring" CFP

Dear Colleagues,

I am currently working with Georgetown University Press on producing an
edited volume on the various language-related phenomena attending the Arab
revolutions. If you are interested in contributing a paper/chapter to this
volume, please send me a one page abstract summarizing your topic, basic
proposition(s), research basis, and expected conclusions. The central theme
of this volume is language, so all proposals need to maintain thematic
relevance by exploring the various ways the revolts have impacted the
Arabic language (or other languages if a case can be made). Fields of
investigation are open, however, and include linguistics, communication,
orthography, semiotics, discourse analysis, translation studies, etc. This
will be a peer-reviewed work, so research rigor is expected. Papers are
expected to be about 10,000 words on average. Please send your proposal to
me, Muhamed Osman Al Khalil, at muhamed.alkhalil at nyu.edu . Deadline for
proposal consideration is Jan 31, 2012. Submission deadline for finished
papers will be July 31, 2012.

Kind regards,

Muhamed Osman Al Khalil, Ph.D.
Director of Arabic Studies
New York University Abu Dhabi
