The study of the Arabic language has a long and rich history: earliest grammatical accounts date from the 8th century and include full syntactic, morphological, and phonological analyses of the vernaculars and of Classical Arabic. In recent years the academic study of Arabic has become increasingly sophisticated and broad. This state-of-the-art volume presents the most recent research in Arabic linguistics from a theoretical point of view, including computational linguistics, syntax, semantics, and historical linguistics. It also covers sociolinguistics, applied linguistics, and discourse analysis by looking at issues such as gender, urbanization, and language ideology. Underlying themes include the changing and evolving attitudes of speakers of Arabic and theoretical approaches to linguistic variation in the Middle East. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- End of Arabic-L: 03 Jul 2012 From dilworthparkinson at GMAIL.COM Tue Jul 3 22:31:52 2012 From: dilworthparkinson at GMAIL.COM (Dilworth Parkinson) Date: Tue, 3 Jul 2012 16:31:52 -0600 Subject: Arabic-L:GEN:Princeton U Global Fellows Program Message-ID: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Arabic-L: Tue 03 Jul 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:Princeton U Global Fellows Program -------------------------Messages----------------------------------- 1) Date: 03 Jul 2012 From:forwarded by Kirk Belnap Subject:Princeton U Global Fellows Program Each year, the Fung Global Fellows Program will select six scholars from around the world to be in residence at Princeton for one academic year and to engage in research, writing, and collaboration around a common theme. The program includes a public seminar series where the fellows will present their work to the University community. Fellowships will be awarded through a competitive application process to scholars employed outside the United States who have demonstrated outstanding scholarly achievement, exhibit unusual intellectual promise, and are still early in their careers. Languages and Authority In 2013–14, the program’s inaugural year, the fellows and the accompanying seminar series will focus on how languages interact with political, social, economic, and cultural authority. Languages can be powerful tools for expressing and asserting authority. Yet they also constitute forms of authority in and of themselves (such as in the standardization and uniformity that they impose). Languages as forms of authority are also contested, and language communities have often formed a basis for resisting authority. Possible topics for this cycle include the ways in which languages and language use interact with globalization, empire, decolonization, nation-state formation, nationalism, language policy, language ideology, social stratification, migration, commerce and trade, social and religious movements, and the sociology of knowledge production. The application deadline for the 2013–14 Fung Global Fellows Program is November 1, 2012. Interested scholars whose research engages with the theme “Languages and Authority” and who meet the eligibility criteria as outlined below are invited to submit their application online by November 1, 2012.

I am posting the message below on behalf of Dr. Catharine Keatley who has been working and collaborating with her for decades. She has been very close to Dora and kept her company on almost daily basis. May God bless Dora's soul and shower her with His mercy. Salaam Muhammad Eissa ====================== Dear Standards Task Force: I am writing to let you know that Dora Johnson died this morning. She had been fighting pancreatic cancer for over two years. She loved working with teachers of Arabic, with you, and believed strongly in the importance of educating Americans about the Arabic language and culture. She felt that this was a way to build undersanding and peace in our world. Dora was very proud of the Arabic Strandards and regretted that she would not be able to take part in the revisions. Until recently she had planned to go to the meeting in Chicago even though she was already feeling sick and weak. I know she would want you to know how much she cared for all of you, and appreciated what you have done for the field. So far there aren't any plans for a memorial. Dora said she didn't want any fuss, but her son and daughter say that they might just do it anyway and have a memorial. We all need it. If you want to get in touch with her family, her daughter is Alicia Koundakjian and her son is Martin Johnson. Alicia's email is dearaliciadc.gmail.com. and letters to Alicia and Martin can be written to Dora's address, 1861 Newton Street, Washington, D.C. 20010.

After the successful first symposium in Louvain-­‐la-­‐Neuve (2004), the second symposium in Amsterdam (2007) and the third symposium in Florence (2010),1 our university has taken over the task to convene the fourth symposium on the same topic of Middle/Mixed Arabic. The objectives of the fourth symposium are the same as those of the three preceding ones: to study written varieties of Middle Arabic and Mixed Arabic (=MMA) and varieties, particularly oral, of contemporary Mixed Arabic. The main topic of the conference is The Role of Middle/Mixed Arabic in the Standardization of Modern Arabic in its Actual Written/Spoken Use. The conference theme will deal with questions such as, How is MMA used in contemporary forms of written Arabic? What was the role of MMA in the “invention” of Modern Standard Arabic (=MSA)? How are mixed Arabic forms used in contemporary Arabic? How is the Arabic continuum used? How is MMA used in literary classical and modern texts? Of course, this theme is only a suggestion and proposals of papers on other topics will be accepted, provided they fit in the general theme of Middle/Mixed Arabic. You will find a list of other possible themes hereunder in document 2. Please find attached four documents: 1. A presentation of the International Association for the Study of Middle and Mixed Arabic (AIMA). 2. A summary of the objectives and a list of other topics or themes on which the papers may also be concentrated; please feel free to send this document to colleagues specialized in other linguistic areas, who might be interested in these themes and possibly would wish to give a paper related with their and our concern. 3. A list of the Organizing and Scientific Committees. 4. An answer form. Colleagues and researchers who plan to attend the symposium are kindly requested to email back the answer form upon receipt of this circular and not later than 15 August 2012 to aima4in2013 at emory.edu: Participants who wish to give a paper are requested to send an abstract (about half a page) by e-­‐mail not later than 1 December 2012. Title and abstract will be passed on to the Scientific Committee, which is expected to give you its definite answer before the end of March 2013. Papers may be given in Arabic, English or French and should not exceed 20 minutes. Every presentation will be followed by a 10 minutes discussion. All information on accommodation, tour of Atlanta, transportation facilities, working sessions planning and the General Assembly of AIMA will be published on the Conference site linguistics.emory.edu/aima4 in due time. Please note that we hope to be able to offer a limited number of fellowships to scholars who need help with travel and/or accommodation at Emory University. We are also planning to organize an opening evening banquet and an organized tour of Atlanta (Martin Luther King Center, CNN center, the Carter Center, and more).

Le thème principal proposé pour ce quatrième colloque est : «Le rôle du moyen arabe et de l’arabe mixte dans la standardisation de l’arabe moderne (usage réel écrit et parlé)». Ce thème principal tentera de répondre à des questions telles que : comment l’AMM est-­‐il utilisé dans les formes contemporaines de l’arabe écrit ? Quel a été le rôle de l’AMM dans l’«invention» de l’arabe standard moderne (ASM) ? Comment les formes arabes mixtes utilisées dans l’arabe contemporain sont-­‐elles utilisées ? Comment le continuum arabe est-­‐il utilisé ? Comment l’AMM est-­‐il utilisé dans les textes littéraires classiques et modernes ? Les propositions de communications portant sur d’autres sujets seront acceptées, pourvu qu’elles s’intègrent dans le thème général de l’AMM. Une liste d’autres sujets possibles de communications figure dans le document 2 joint en annexe à cette première circulaire. Vous trouverez quatre documents en annexe à cette circulaire : 1. Présentation de l’Association Internationale pour l’étude du moyen arabe et des variétés mixtes de l’arabe (AIMA) ; 2.

I am the new Academic and Library Account Manager at East View specializing in maps, atlases and GIS data. We have a wide variety of products from all over the world. A couple weeks ago, there was a post on the Arabic List for someone looking for a source for an Arabic language map of the Middle East. The post was forwarded to me and I believe the name was Scott. I don’t know if they found what they are looking for and I do not have their contact information, but we have some options they may be interested in. Could you pass this information to them, or send me Scott’s email if you can find it? First is a folded tourist map published by Gizi Map. It is a multilingual map that has everything in English, but has major place names in the native language of the countries shown; Arabic, Hebrew, Russian, Georgian, Armenian, etc. The map covers from Egypt and Sudan to Pakistan and the westernmost tip of China. It can be found here: http://www.evmaplink.com/product_p/2058746m.htm We have another folded map published in 1997 by Lehenert & Landrock titled “Map of the Arab World”. It is in English and Arabic covering North Africa and the gulf countries, showing political boundaries and major roads. We also have a large flat map published in 2002 by the Arab Republic of Egypt titled “Map of the Arab World”. It is in Arabic only, covering North Africa and the gulf countries. It is a political/admin map, but also has flags and statistics for each country. Lastly, we have a map published in 2001 by the Royal Jordanian Geographic Centre title “Arab World Route Map”. This is in English and Arabic covering N. African and the gulf countries. It shows major place names, roads, rivers and lakes. We can also get many other maps from this publisher that are in Arabic.

Volumes 44 and 45 (2011-2012), a joint issue edited by Dr. Reem Bassiouney of Georgetown University, will be the first issue, and it will be available in December 2012. Al-cArabiyya is the only scholarly journal with a focus on Arabic language, linguistics, literature, and pedagogy. “We are thrilled to work with the AATA to produce the leading journal for teaching Arabic language,” says Hope LeGro, Director of Georgetown Languages at GU Press. “GU Press is committed to serving the field of Arabic language learning, as we have been for nearly fifty years. This journal partnership is a natural evolution of our shared mission with AATA.” The press publishes the Al-Kitaab Arabic Language Program, as well as Arabic dictionaries and other Arabic textbooks. This year, the AATA celebrates fifty years of serving the scholars of Arabic around the world. Dr. Elizabeth M. Bergman, Executive Director of AATA, praises the new relationship saying, “The AATA has demonstrated its commitment to scholarship on Arabic language, literature, and pedagogy through publication of Al-cArabiyya and through other activities for nearly fifty years. Our partnership with Georgetown University Press is a fitting commemoration of these years of service. It is also a wonderful way to more forward, and serve the growing number of those who study and teach Arabic language and literature.” Georgetown Languages at Georgetown University Press is a collaboration of language experts and publishing professionals to produce high quality language learning resource materials in traditional and new learning media. Working with the academic community to develop foreign language learning materials grounded in superior scholarship and experienced pedagogy, we publish in critical as well as commonly taught languages in print and electronic formats, primarily for college, high school, and adult learners.

The study of the Arabic language has a long and rich history: earliest grammatical accounts date from the 8th century and include full syntactic, morphological, and phonological analyses of the vernaculars and of Classical Arabic. In recent years the academic study of Arabic has become increasingly sophisticated and broad. This state-of-the-art volume presents the most recent research in Arabic linguistics from a theoretical point of view, including computational linguistics, syntax, semantics, and historical linguistics. It also covers sociolinguistics, applied linguistics, and discourse analysis by looking at issues such as gender, urbanization, and language ideology. Underlying themes include the changing and evolving attitudes of speakers of Arabic and theoretical approaches to linguistic variation in the Middle East. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- End of Arabic-L: 03 Jul 2012 From dilworthparkinson at GMAIL.COM Tue Jul 3 22:31:52 2012 From: dilworthparkinson at GMAIL.COM (Dilworth Parkinson) Date: Tue, 3 Jul 2012 16:31:52 -0600 Subject: Arabic-L:GEN:Princeton U Global Fellows Program Message-ID: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Arabic-L: Tue 03 Jul 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:Princeton U Global Fellows Program -------------------------Messages----------------------------------- 1) Date: 03 Jul 2012 From:forwarded by Kirk Belnap Subject:Princeton U Global Fellows Program Each year, the Fung Global Fellows Program will select six scholars from around the world to be in residence at Princeton for one academic year and to engage in research, writing, and collaboration around a common theme. The program includes a public seminar series where the fellows will present their work to the University community. Fellowships will be awarded through a competitive application process to scholars employed outside the United States who have demonstrated outstanding scholarly achievement, exhibit unusual intellectual promise, and are still early in their careers. Languages and Authority In 2013?14, the program?s inaugural year, the fellows and the accompanying seminar series will focus on how languages interact with political, social, economic, and cultural authority. Languages can be powerful tools for expressing and asserting authority. Yet they also constitute forms of authority in and of themselves (such as in the standardization and uniformity that they impose). Languages as forms of authority are also contested, and language communities have often formed a basis for resisting authority. Possible topics for this cycle include the ways in which languages and language use interact with globalization, empire, decolonization, nation-state formation, nationalism, language policy, language ideology, social stratification, migration, commerce and trade, social and religious movements, and the sociology of knowledge production. The application deadline for the 2013?14 Fung Global Fellows Program is November 1, 2012. Interested scholars whose research engages with the theme ?Languages and Authority? and who meet the eligibility criteria as outlined below are invited to submit their application online by November 1, 2012.

I am posting the message below on behalf of Dr. Catharine Keatley who has been working and collaborating with her for decades. She has been very close to Dora and kept her company on almost daily basis. May God bless Dora's soul and shower her with His mercy. Salaam Muhammad Eissa ====================== Dear Standards Task Force: I am writing to let you know that Dora Johnson died this morning. She had been fighting pancreatic cancer for over two years. She loved working with teachers of Arabic, with you, and believed strongly in the importance of educating Americans about the Arabic language and culture. She felt that this was a way to build undersanding and peace in our world. Dora was very proud of the Arabic Strandards and regretted that she would not be able to take part in the revisions. Until recently she had planned to go to the meeting in Chicago even though she was already feeling sick and weak. I know she would want you to know how much she cared for all of you, and appreciated what you have done for the field. So far there aren't any plans for a memorial. Dora said she didn't want any fuss, but her son and daughter say that they might just do it anyway and have a memorial. We all need it. If you want to get in touch with her family, her daughter is Alicia Koundakjian and her son is Martin Johnson. Alicia's email is dearaliciadc.gmail.com. and letters to Alicia and Martin can be written to Dora's address, 1861 Newton Street, Washington, D.C. 20010.

The ACT produces al-hakawati.net, a digital library that tells the story of Arab heritage and civilizations through folktales and fairy tales from the Arab and Islamic past, through biographies of personalities ancient to modern, artists and their arts, architecture, the environment, religion, and more. The content of al-hakawati covers the 22 Arab states, members of the Arab League. The content is arranged thematically in ten sections, each with an average of seven subsections. New sections are added regularly. The ACT together with the Department of Middle Eastern Studies at UT is currently applying for funding to enhance the website to make materials more easily accessible and useful for Teachers of Arabic as a Foreign Language.

FIRST CIRCULAR (AIMA IV) Fourth International Symposium at Emory University, Atlanta, GA, USA, 12?15 October 2013 The Role of Middle/Mixed Arabic in the Standardization of Modern Arabic in Its Actual Written/Spoken Use Dear Colleagues, We are very pleased to invite you to take part in the Fourth International Symposium on Middle and Mixed Arabic, which will be held from Saturday 12 to Tuesday 15 October 2013 at Emory University in Atlanta, GA, USA. After the successful first symposium in Louvain-??la-??Neuve (2004), the second symposium in Amsterdam (2007) and the third symposium in Florence (2010),1 our university has taken over the task to convene the fourth symposium on the same topic of Middle/Mixed Arabic. The objectives of the fourth symposium are the same as those of the three preceding ones: to study written varieties of Middle Arabic and Mixed Arabic (=MMA) and varieties, particularly oral, of contemporary Mixed Arabic. The main topic of the conference is The Role of Middle/Mixed Arabic in the Standardization of Modern Arabic in its Actual Written/Spoken Use. The conference theme will deal with questions such as, How is MMA used in contemporary forms of written Arabic? What was the role of MMA in the ?invention? of Modern Standard Arabic (=MSA)? How are mixed Arabic forms used in contemporary Arabic? How is the Arabic continuum used? How is MMA used in literary classical and modern texts? Of course, this theme is only a suggestion and proposals of papers on other topics will be accepted, provided they fit in the general theme of Middle/Mixed Arabic. You will find a list of other possible themes hereunder in document 2. Please find attached four documents: 1. A presentation of the International Association for the Study of Middle and Mixed Arabic (AIMA). 2. A summary of the objectives and a list of other topics or themes on which the papers may also be concentrated; please feel free to send this document to colleagues specialized in other linguistic areas, who might be interested in these themes and possibly would wish to give a paper related with their and our concern. 3. A list of the Organizing and Scientific Committees. 4. An answer form. Colleagues and researchers who plan to attend the symposium are kindly requested to email back the answer form upon receipt of this circular and not later than 15 August 2012 to aima4in2013 at emory.edu: Participants who wish to give a paper are requested to send an abstract (about half a page) by e-??mail not later than 1 December 2012. Title and abstract will be passed on to the Scientific Committee, which is expected to give you its definite answer before the end of March 2013. Papers may be given in Arabic, English or French and should not exceed 20 minutes. Every presentation will be followed by a 10 minutes discussion. All information on accommodation, tour of Atlanta, transportation facilities, working sessions planning and the General Assembly of AIMA will be published on the Conference site linguistics.emory.edu/aima4 in due time. Please note that we hope to be able to offer a limited number of fellowships to scholars who need help with travel and/or accommodation at Emory University. We are also planning to organize an opening evening banquet and an organized tour of Atlanta (Martin Luther King Center, CNN center, the Carter Center, and more). Furthermore, we may be able to pay for some of the food cost while you are at the conference.

I am the new Academic and Library Account Manager at East View specializing in maps, atlases and GIS data. We have a wide variety of products from all over the world. A couple weeks ago, there was a post on the Arabic List for someone looking for a source for an Arabic language map of the Middle East. The post was forwarded to me and I believe the name was Scott. I don?t know if they found what they are looking for and I do not have their contact information, but we have some options they may be interested in. Could you pass this information to them, or send me Scott?s email if you can find it? First is a folded tourist map published by Gizi Map. It is a multilingual map that has everything in English, but has major place names in the native language of the countries shown; Arabic, Hebrew, Russian, Georgian, Armenian, etc. The map covers from Egypt and Sudan to Pakistan and the westernmost tip of China. It can be found here: http://www.evmaplink.com/product_p/2058746m.htm We have another folded map published in 1997 by Lehenert & Landrock titled ?Map of the Arab World?. It is in English and Arabic covering North Africa and the gulf countries, showing political boundaries and major roads. We also have a large flat map published in 2002 by the Arab Republic of Egypt titled ?Map of the Arab World?. It is in Arabic only, covering North Africa and the gulf countries. It is a political/admin map, but also has flags and statistics for each country. Lastly, we have a map published in 2001 by the Royal Jordanian Geographic Centre title ?Arab World Route Map?. This is in English and Arabic covering N. African and the gulf countries. It shows major place names, roads, rivers and lakes. We can also get many other maps from this publisher that are in Arabic. If you would like additional information about these maps, or other maps in Arabic including topographic, geological, nautical charts and atlases, please feel free to call or email me directly.
