Ahalan wa sahalan... Greetings...

Let me know which dialect[s] is of interest, and I can refer you to
some suitable titles and vendors?

While most outlets are in Saudi Arabia, Jordan or UAE, a good number
of them offer online order service.

A number of in-Arabic publications exist about local dialects in the
Gulf states, including a translation & publication in 1972 by King
Saud University [then U of Riyadh] of the late T. M. Johnstone's
_Eastern Arabic Dialect Studies_.

Hope this helps... kair, in shaa' Allah.

Greetings;

Here is the link for information on one of the Arabic Proficiency
Tests,  which was developed by Professor Rammuny and  is available at
the Center for Applied Linguistics.
http://www.cal.org/CALWebDB/FLAD/FLADDetails.aspx?id=218   For
Speaking, the administration of the Oral Proficiency Interview can be
arranged through ACTFL (The American Council for the Teaching of
Foreign Languages).

The U.S. Government has several of these tests  (e.g. the Foreign
Service Institute  (FSI),  the Defense Language Proficiency Test among
others) but as far as I know,  they are not available to use outside
of government circles.

Subject:2nd Call Clause Linking in Semitic Languages

International Symposium on Clause Linking in Semitic Languages, 5-7 August
2012 in Kivik, Sweden


SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS


International Symposium on Clause Linking in Semitic Languages

5-7 August 2012 in Kivik, Sweden



Key-note speakers:

Dr. Eran Cohen, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel

Dr. Reinhard G. Lehmann, Johannes Gutenberg-University of Mainz, Germany

Assoc. Prof. Tsvetomira Pashova, Sofia University, Bulgaria



The symposium welcomes papers dealing with clause linking in all varieties
of Semitic languages. A strong incentive

for the symposium is the renewed interest in recent years in the nature of
non-main clause linking, which has brought

into focus the concept of a main line and digressions from this main line in
various discourse types. Recent research has

also questioned the traditional view that non-main clauses must be
introduced by a conjunction (Dixon 2009, Givón

2001, 299, Isaksson et al. 2009). The conference committee invites scholars
to submit papers on all related topics with

emphasis on "ways of combining clauses other than through relative clause
and complement clause constructions"

(Dixon 2009, 1). Specific areas of interest are:



• the concept of a main line and digressions from a main line

• features of specific discourse types in the coding of a main line and its
digressions

• the use and non-use of conjunction in non-main clause linking

• the use and function of gram-switching in clause linking (Fleischman 1985,
1990)

• non-main clauses functioning as focal clauses (Dixon 2009, 4)

• the nature and coding of conditional clause linking

• the encoding of hierarchies in non-main clause linking (non-main clauses
having mutually "unequal status", Halliday

2004, 374)



Important dates and practical information:

Dead-line for abstracts: 2 May 2012.

Conference fee: 800 SEK (25% VAT included). To be paid according to
instructions on the conference website. Online

payment is enabled. Information on other alternatives will be posted closer
to the conference date.

Dead-line for payment: 25 May 2012.



Venue: Agda Lund Hotel, Kivik, Sweden.

Accommodation:The conference board has reserved accommodation for the
participants at Hanöbris Hotel. The whole

hotel, located at walking distance from the conference venue, is reserved
for the conference and this is also where all

conference dinners will be served.

Participants who wish to stay at the hotel need to make a reservation
through the conference website. The

accommodation cost is paid directly to the hotel upon arrival. More
information on costs and alternatives as well as

instructions on how to make a reservation at Hanöbris Hotel online will be

Hours per week :Full-time
Location :Oxford Road

This is an exciting opportunity to work on a major ERC-funded project
to edit and study the Arabic commentaries on the Hippocratic Aphorisms
in a variety of innovative ways.

You will compile provisional editions of the extant Arabic
commentaries on the basis of medieval manuscript copies, and enter
them as XML into a database that is to be constructed during the
project.  You will also assist with the analysis of this database.
This requires the ability to read and transcribe medieval Arabic
manuscripts accurately and efficiently, and to help in the
interpretation of the rich exegetical tradition of the Aphorisms in
Arabic.  A familiarity with classical Greek and/or Syriac would be an
advantage, although not a prerequisite for the post.  You should have
obtained a doctorate in a field relevant to this project.  Previous
experience with editing medieval Arabic manuscripts is essential.

Both posts are fixed term for four years.

Subject:Palestinian negation query

I am working on an undergraduate thesis on Arabic negation, focussing
on the loss of ma in Palestinian Arabic and possible syntactic
repercussions.  However, I have received conflicting information as to
what the actual data is, i.e. whether negation without ma actually
exists in Palestinian Arabic, and how widespread it is.  I would
appreciate any concrete information regarding this issue, including
data and sources that have discussed it.
Thank you very much,
Laura McClane

Dear colleagues,
We thank all of you who have answered positively to our call for papers.
We believe that we should encourage young scholars, and are happy to
inform you that we have applied for extra-funding that would cover
accommodation expenses for the younger participants.
We would therefore greatly appreciate it if you could send us as soon
as possible the final confirmation of your participation in the
conference as well as your abstract, so that we can start working on
the conference schedule and plan the accommodation funding.
We look forward to hearing from you soon and to seeing you in Jerusalem.
With our best regards,
The organizing committee

from readings and classroom debates; and
*       Live in Ramallah, a culturally vibrant Palestinian city, and
participate in cultural excursions.

Subject:Dissertation: Demonstratives

I would like to announce to the list my completed PhD dissertation.

Zaki, M. (2011). The Semantics and Pragmatics of Demonstratives in English
and Arabic. PhD Dissertation. Middlesex University.

Abstract:

This research investigates the semantics and pragmatics of demonstratives
in two languages, English and Arabic, within the framework of relevance
theory. The study applies the fundamental distinction between ‘conceptual’
and ‘procedural’ semantics in an attempt to account for the various
instantiations of such referring expressions in the two languages. I argue
that demonstratives play a crucial role in aligning the discourse models of
the speaker and hearer by encoding procedural semantics instructing the
hearer to maintain or create a joint level of attention to the intended
referent as opposed to other referential candidates. Following Diessel
(2006), I take it that this notion of joint attention subsumes all the
cognitive and functional roles played by demonstratives in discourse. I
also argue that demonstratives encode a (pro)concept of distance which
falls under the scope of the attention-directing procedure, thus creating
the internal contrast between the intended referent and other candidate
referents. Within this proposal, I discuss how demonstratives can
contribute to both the explicit and the implicit levels of meaning by
virtue of the interaction between their encoded semantics and the context
in a relevance-driven framework. Compared to other referring expressions or
no referring expression at all, the role of a demonstrative achieves
relevance on the implicit level. It can either highlight a certain aspect
of the referent, or encourage the creation of weak implicatures, or signal
a certain cognitive/emotional attitude towards the referent. The study is
supported by an analysis of corpus data from both languages in order to
supplement theoretical proposals with attested evidence.

I further extend my analysis to include two areas. First, I discuss cases
of self-repair in spoken English discourse which involves the definite
article and demonstratives. By linking the notion of self-repair to that of
optimal relevance, I shed some light on the semantic and pragmatic
differences between these two referring expressions. Second, I extend my
analysis to include other forms of demonstratives in Arabic and explore
their semantic and pragmatic behaviour in discourse. I propose a procedural
account for the three forms attentional *haa*, *kadhaalik* and
*haakadhaa,*arguing that their contribution goes well beyond that of
mere demonstrative
reference to that of being discourse markers encoding procedural
constraints on interpretation. I also investigate some alternative
syntactic structures where demonstratives occur, arguing that the stylistic
effect of emphasis which they give rise to can be explained in terms of
relevant cognitive effects.

I attach it here for your reference, I know you do not include attachments
in the list emails.

Best wishes,

Mai

Subject:Citizenship requirement in job ads

Dear Colleagues,

Several job ads on the list recently have included stipulations such as
"[employees] MUST be U.S. Citizens."

I would like to direct your attention to the United States Department of
Justice Best Practices for Online Job Postings:
http://www.justice.gov/crt/about/osc/htm/best_practices.php

In particular, allow me to quote the following passage:

> Do avoid making the assumption that only U.S. citizens are authorized to
work in the United States.
>
> Do avoid the following language in job postings:
>
>       • "Only U.S. Citizens"
>       • "Citizenship requirement"*
>       • "Only U.S. Citizens or Green Card Holders"
>       • "H-1Bs Only"
>       • "Must have a U.S. Passport"
>       • "Must have a green card"
> *UNLESS U.S. citizenship is required by law, regulation, executive order,
or government contract.

Given the DOJ policy stated above, unless U.S. citizenship is required by
law, regulation, executive order, or government contract, the stipulations
in ads of this sort are not only unfair and discriminatory, but may also be
unlawful.

Sincerely,

--

setting for students to focus on learning Arabic while exploring
ancient and modern Morocco. The main AALIM center is located inside
the traditional walled old city, called the Medina, an area which
features heavily in the Western popular imagination of Morocco. Meknes
is also a thriving modern metropolis of over one million residents.
The AALIM center is just a short walk from the bustling town center in

Dear All,

Is anyone of you familiar with a beginners course of Media Arabic?

I do know Julia Ashtiany’s ‘Media Arabic’,  and the booklet ‘the top
1000 words for understanding Media Arabic’.

What I am searching for is a beginners text book that will start with
basic grammar using vocabulary like presidents and other heads of
state (although names are very tricky these days ;-), war and peace,
political processes etc.

Thanks for your attention,

Jan Hoogland

Hi Kalim,

Any nationality can send an abstract and participate in the panel. The
abstract must be in English. We would love to have the presentation in
Arabic, but it has been the norm to present in English as the meeting
is open to educators of all nationalities and languages.

Hope this helps.

Subject:dialectology works in Arabic

Another work in Arabic about dialectology is Ayoub.


العربية ولهجاتها -  تأليف د\ عبد الرحمن ايوب  - 1968 مطابع سجل العرب :
القاهرة
 The author presents a good if brief and somewhat simplified overview of
the modern field of dialectology as it applies to Arabic before devoting
chapters to the phonology, morphology, syntax and lexicon of the Arabic
dialects.

An example of the author's perspective as adhering to the modern study of
dialects rather than that of those adhering to the traditional view
originating with later medieval Arab grammarians comes when, towards the
end of the first chapter (p. 41-41), he says this:

قال البعض بان أصل العربية الفصحى لهجة قريش. واعتمدوا هذا على ما ورد من ان
القرآن قد نزل بلهجة قريش :  وعلى ما افترضوا من أن النبي من قريش ، و لا بد
أن تكون لغة النبي خير اللغات ، و خير اللغات الفصحى ، و بالتالي فلا بد أن
تكون لهجة قريش أصل الفصحى

هذا الفرض غير واقعي يعتمد على اعتبارات غير لغوية  ، إذ أن الحكم بأن لغة خير
من لغة ، ليس أمراً لغوياً بل هو مجرد اعتبار اجتماعي

That was enough to clinch the decision for me to choose it for my students
to read!

Hi everyone,
I'm doing some personal translation training and trying to push beyond
general proficiency to into more profession specific language (intel
and security specifically). Does anybody know of any resources and /
or references that have glossaries or guides for intelligence and
security arabic. Anything with language pertinent to intel, security,
counter terrorism, jihadist or islamist thought, etc would be very
helpful.

Best,

Subject:Reach Out NGO in Cairo

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am contacting you on behalf of Reach Out Development, an NGO based
in Cairo, aimed at promoting cultural exchange between Egyptians and
foreigner through the medium of education. As part of this objective
+we launched the Access Cairo Program in 2009. The program aims to
ease the transition into life in Egypt and offer lessons in both MSA
(standard Arabic) and the Egyptian dialect taught by highly qualified
professors at, for students, affordable prices.

However, Arabic lessons are just one of the many services that we
offer. As well as assistance with finding accommodation, we also give
applicants the opportunity to gain valuable experience as volunteer
teachers and even to apply for an internship within the organisation
itself. We offer internships in a number of fields including teaching
your native language, web design, marketing and advertising and
graphic design.

We are currently trying to increase awareness of our program outside
of Egypt, particularly targeting university students who are willing
to learn the Arabic language and immerse themselves in the Arabic
culture.

It is with this intention in mind that I am writing you. From the
website of your university I understood that your university offers
courses in either Arabic studies, languages or otherwise
internationally related fields. I would like to offer our Arabic
lessons and internship positions to those  students who might be
interested.

Please find our Access Cairo brochure attached to this email with more
information about our organisation and the services that we offer.
More information can also be found on our website: www.reachoutngo.org

I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards,

Dabber Sagel

Subject:Online workspace for Arabic culture Open Source audiovisuals

Dear colleagues,

I am developing an online workspace with the purpose of exposing
learners of Arabic to culture using Open Source audiovisuals, and I
would like to share it with you.

http://arabicculture.pbworks.com/w/page/29964513/Arabic%20Culture%20in%20the%20Classroom

It is far from being perfect or comprehensive, but it is a first step
towards having lots of materials in the same place, and towards
raising some questions around the importance and the challenges of
teaching culture in the language classroom.

Your feedback and suggestions are very welcomed.

Laila

Hi Jan!

I think that the magazine Al Moukhtatrat (published by the IMA in Paris) has
a few numbers devoted to media Arabic and, though it might be a little be
outdated today, it could still be helpful for general vocabulary:

http://www.imarabe.org/apprendre-arabe/revue-mokhtarat/a-la-une

I also suggest that you have a look at this dictionary:

Lexique bilingue de l'arabe des médias

http://www.editions-ellipses.fr/product_info.php?products_id=7037

And our colleague Mourad Diouri is about to publish another somewhat related
book:

http://www.v-arabic.com/mourad.diouri/?p=420

Last but not least, the Escuela de Traductores de Toledo in Spain published
(check out the 2008 newest edition with CD) two volumes on Media Arabic
geared toward basic level students:

Árabe de prensa. Método para la comprensión auditiva y escrita. Autores:
Juan Carandell, Jaime Sánchez Ratia y Ahmed Teziti. Incluye cederrón de
audio mp3. Vol. I: 115 págs. Vol. II: 141 págs. ISSN: 1578-5009.

http://www.uclm.es/escueladetraductores/investigacion/cuadernos.asp


I hope this info helps you add new titles to those that you already had…

Dear Jan,

The vocabulary used in Karin C. Ryding and David J. Mehall, Formal
Spoken Arabic (Washington, DC, 2005) is in line with your request. The
book assumes some knowledge of Arabic, but not too much.

Description:

The Department of Linguistics at the United Arab Emirates University seeks
to fill a position in phonology/phonetics  at Associate or Full Professor Rank.

The ideal candidate will have an earned PhD in linguistics and demonstrate a
record of excellence in university-level teaching and research in phonology or

particularly encouraged to apply. Expertise in Arabic phonology is desirable
but not required.

The Department of Linguistics offers undergraduate and PhD level programs
in theoretical and applied linguistics. Successful applicants are expected to
teach undergraduate courses in any area of linguistics. Faculty members are
expected to teach at all levels in the program, to share in general education
teaching, and to participate, as appropriate, in graduate teaching and

facilities housing psycholinguistic behavioral testing suites, an EEG system,
and a phonetics laboratory. In the coming year we will expand our capabilities
to fMRI and MEG imaging techniques for neurolinguistic research.

The initial appointment will be for a four-year period (renewable)
with the first
two years probationary. The standard teaching load is 12 hours per semester,
modified in varying degrees by course remissions arising from funded
research and consultative activities and administrative roles. All faculty
members are expected to have an ongoing research agenda and to be
engaged in the publication of works that have been subject to external peer
review and appear in internationally recognized and cited journals or other
volumes.

This appointment will commence in September 2012 or as soon as possible
thereafter.

qualifications and level of appointment. Benefits provided by the university
include housing, a furniture allowance, employer-paid comprehensive health
insurance, an education allowance for children, annual airline tickets for the
employee and family members, and an end-of-service gratuity based on
years of service.

Dear Brian

Edinburgh University Press has launched a new series called Essential
Middle Eastern Vocabularies. There is a volume forthcoming (the ms is
complete and publication is expected in June or July this year) called
"Intelligence and Security Arabic". It is simply a collection of the
most useful c.1,000 terms, listed in Arabic and English, with an
index. It also includes a CD with audio files of each of the 13
chapters and an online resource of audio-visual flashcards for each
entry. It has been compiled by someone with long experience in the
field.

I hope you will find it useful.

With best wishes

Elisabeth

Dear list members,
I'll spend about 4 weeks in Massachusetts from Mar.23. During this period
I'll be happy to offer free Arabic lessons to university students:
1. Lessons will focus mainly on conversation in Modern Standard Arabic (no
colloquials), in addition to preparations for exams.
2. Beginners and intermediate students will have priority.
3. We'll use Sahlawayhi's books, in addition to the students' own textbooks.
4. Preference will be given to groups of about five students.
5. I have an M.A. in TAFL from AUC, and over 25 years experience.
If interested, please contact me soon to arrange your schedule.
Looking forward to working with as many students of the area as possible.

(1) English Translation Treebank: An Nahar Newswire was developed by
LDC and consists of 599 distinct newswire stories from the Lebanese
publication An Nahar translated from Arabic to English and annotated
for part-of-speech and syntactic structure.
This corpus is part of an ongoing effort at LDC to produce parallel
Arabic and English treebanks. The guidelines followed for both
part-of-speech and syntactic annotation are Penn Treebank II style,
with changes in the tokenization of hyphenated words, part-of-speech
and tree changes necessitated by those tokenization changes and
revisions to the syntactic annotation to comply with the updated
annotation guidelines (including the "Treebank-PropBank merge" or
"Treebank IIa" and "treebank c" changes). The original Penn Treebank
II guidelines, addenda describing changes to the guidelines and the
tokenization specifications can be found on LDC's website.
The data consists of 461,489 tokens in 599 individual files. The news
stories in this release were published in An Nahar in 2002.
The English sources files (translated from the Arabic) were
automatically tokenized, part-of-speech tagged and parsed; the tokens,
tags and parses were manually corrected. The quality control process
consisted of a series of specific searches for over 100 types of
potential inconsistency and parse or annotation error. Any errors
found in those searches were manually corrected.
Annotations are in the following two formats:
Penn Style Trees
Bracketed tree files following the basic form (NODE (TAG token)). Each
sentence is surrounded by a pair of empty parentheses.
AG xml
TreeEditor .xml stand-off annotation files. These files contain the
POS and Treebank annotation and reference the source files by
character offset. DTD files for the AG xml files were moved from their
original location indicated in the readme to be more consistent with
LDC publications.
English Translation Treebank: An Nahar Newswire is distributed via web
download.

Subject:response to dialectology reference

[I believe this post is referring to the Ayoub reference--moderator]

Hello

The reference mentioned to explain the concept of Arabic dialects
contains inaccurate information as  a) The Quran was brought down and
read in 7 dialects, the Quraishi dialect being only one of them. This
is why Uthmanic orthography is utilized in the Quranic script, as well
the different authorized readings still heard for each of these
dialects.
b) from an Islamic perspective, the prophets sent were all elevated
and held positions similar to prophet Muhammad-peace be upon him- and
so were the books delivered through them remembering ofcourse that
they all spoke different tongues/dialects/languages.... But the fact
is that none of these books was reserved in its original tongue or
wording. So for example prophet Isa/Jesus-peace be upon him-never
spoke to his people in Latin and accordingly the Latin Bible is not
accepted as a reference to Muslims. Islamically, all the
tongues/languages hold the same position. There is no preference in
tongues except for the fact that the Quran with its language is the
only preserved reference for God's Word.

Fusha is a widely misunderstood term. And many "modern" references are
a dissapointment. Dialects always existed, one for every 30 km, a
universal fact. Populations divide when they do not have a reference
point to return to as is the position of the evolved European
languages. Europeans actually need to attend language courses to
understand their neighbours. This applies to many languages worldwide.
The Arabic language of the Quran serves as a reference language and
uniting point for Arabs to understand each other with no degrading to
their local dialects.

Subject:Resources for security Arabic

Greetings.

Some clarification of WHICH aspects or disciplines within the very
large fields of "intelligence" and "security" are of interest would be
helpful in citing some references.

Here is one bilingual reference on the "security" side, with emphasis
on the public safety / police / anti-crime aspects:

Title: Security Dictionary English-Arabic -- القاموس الأمني = أنجليزي عربي
Author: The Studies and Research Center
Naif Arab Academy for Security Studies (NAASS)
Publisher: NAASS Press, Riyadh, 1997 / 1418 H.
Paperback, 260 pp
Price at local bookstores in Riyadh in 2007 was 46 SR.

(NAASS is now the Naif Arab University for Security Studies, or NAUSS)

I understand that the major book outlets in Riyadh [i.e. the Obeikan
and Jarir chains] now carry a much-expanded later edition [may be
circa 2007 or 2008] which includes terms related to terrorism,
counter-terrorism, and internal security operations.

For [military/defense] intelligence-related terms, those terms are
usually included inside generic bilingual dictionaries and glossaries
on military subjects. A number of those references exists.  Let me
know of specific interests or fields in intelligence, operations &
planning [since they are closely related, if not interdependent], and
I can refer you to some titles and vendors in the US that carry or can
search and order them from overseas publishers with which they have US
distributorship agreements.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Stephen H. Franke

Subject:New teaching book

Dear Arabic Educator:

We are pleased to announce the release of the Al-Asas for Teaching
Arabic for Non-Native Speakers series. The new series created for high
school and university students of any nationality, provides insight
and understanding into the Arabic language and its proper usage.

The easy-to-read series is well written and excels at guiding students
from one level to the next in a gradual and logical manner.
Volume I (Beginner Level) introduces readers to the Arabic alphabet
and phonetics, incorporating a multi-language dictionary and a guide
for verbs and nouns in the lessons.
Volume II (Advanced Beginner) contains dialogue-themed exercises, and
focuses on the four key language skills: reading, conversation,
listening and writing. It also comes with a dictionary and a guide for
verbs and nouns.
Volume III (Intermediate) offers a summary of Arabic culture, history
and civilization.
Each volume comes with an audio MP3 CD (total time of the 3 CDs is
close to 16 hours)

If your school is currently using the Al-Asas Curriculum, or you have
received samples, simply complete the Al-Asas Survey and you will be
eligible to receive one FREE COPY of Al-Asas (any volume) for every 10
copies you order, in any combination, of the three volumes.*

We hope that you will be satisfied, as we are, with this product. We
believe that these books will be a great tool for future Arabic
learners. Inner pages and audio samples are available on the Noorart
website (http://www.noorart.com/school_section/AL-Asas-for-Teaching-Arabic-for-Non-Native-Speakers).

highly skilled native speakers. I highly recommend this program in

Hi Dil,

There is the Gulf Arabic Programme (GAP) in Buraimi, Oman, right at
the border with the UAE (Al Ain).  They do both Gulf Arabic and MSA.
I received some Gulf dialect tutoring there about 5 years ago and
found it very beneficial.  At the time, I had looked for something in
the Muscat area and could not find anything, but something may have
popped up since.  I also heard about a program in Salalah, but I can't
find any information now, so it's possible that it's not there
anymore.  Here is the link for GAP:

There are several great options:
1. Sultan Qaboos Cultural Center, 202-261-1690, runs a summer language
program in Muscat for non-native undergraduates who have already had at
least a year of Arabic.  Contact person is Scott Erich, a really terrific
and knowledgable guy. His direct email is serich at sqcc.org

2. The other option is to contact the World Learning Oman Center directly,
because their teachers give tutoring on an ad-hoc basis.  Their number in
Oman is +011 968 24422230.  The email is
*info at oman.worldlearning.org*<info at oman.worldlearning.org>.

I hope this is helpful to you!

Ahalan wa sahalan... Greetings...

Let me know which dialect[s] is of interest, and I can refer you to
some suitable titles and vendors?

While most outlets are in Saudi Arabia, Jordan or UAE, a good number
of them offer online order service.

A number of in-Arabic publications exist about local dialects in the
Gulf states, including a translation & publication in 1972 by King
Saud University [then U of Riyadh] of the late T. M. Johnstone's
_Eastern Arabic Dialect Studies_.

Hope this helps... kair, in shaa' Allah.

Greetings;

Here is the link for information on one of the Arabic Proficiency
Tests,  which was developed by Professor Rammuny and  is available at
the Center for Applied Linguistics.
http://www.cal.org/CALWebDB/FLAD/FLADDetails.aspx?id=218   For
Speaking, the administration of the Oral Proficiency Interview can be
arranged through ACTFL (The American Council for the Teaching of
Foreign Languages).

The U.S. Government has several of these tests  (e.g. the Foreign
Service Institute  (FSI),  the Defense Language Proficiency Test among
others) but as far as I know,  they are not available to use outside
of government circles.

Subject:2nd Call Clause Linking in Semitic Languages

International Symposium on Clause Linking in Semitic Languages, 5-7 August
2012 in Kivik, Sweden


SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS


International Symposium on Clause Linking in Semitic Languages

5-7 August 2012 in Kivik, Sweden



Key-note speakers:

Dr. Eran Cohen, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel

Dr. Reinhard G. Lehmann, Johannes Gutenberg-University of Mainz, Germany

Assoc. Prof. Tsvetomira Pashova, Sofia University, Bulgaria



The symposium welcomes papers dealing with clause linking in all varieties
of Semitic languages. A strong incentive

for the symposium is the renewed interest in recent years in the nature of
non-main clause linking, which has brought

into focus the concept of a main line and digressions from this main line in
various discourse types. Recent research has

also questioned the traditional view that non-main clauses must be
introduced by a conjunction (Dixon 2009, Giv?n

2001, 299, Isaksson et al. 2009). The conference committee invites scholars
to submit papers on all related topics with

emphasis on "ways of combining clauses other than through relative clause
and complement clause constructions"

(Dixon 2009, 1). Specific areas of interest are:



? the concept of a main line and digressions from a main line

? features of specific discourse types in the coding of a main line and its
digressions

? the use and non-use of conjunction in non-main clause linking

? the use and function of gram-switching in clause linking (Fleischman 1985,
1990)

? non-main clauses functioning as focal clauses (Dixon 2009, 4)

? the nature and coding of conditional clause linking

? the encoding of hierarchies in non-main clause linking (non-main clauses
having mutually "unequal status", Halliday

2004, 374)



Important dates and practical information:

Dead-line for abstracts: 2 May 2012.

Conference fee: 800 SEK (25% VAT included). To be paid according to
instructions on the conference website. Online

payment is enabled. Information on other alternatives will be posted closer
to the conference date.

Dead-line for payment: 25 May 2012.



Venue: Agda Lund Hotel, Kivik, Sweden.

Accommodation:The conference board has reserved accommodation for the
participants at Han?bris Hotel. The whole

hotel, located at walking distance from the conference venue, is reserved
for the conference and this is also where all

conference dinners will be served.

through the conference website. The

accommodation cost is paid directly to the hotel upon arrival. More
information on costs and alternatives as well as

instructions on how to make a reservation at Han?bris Hotel online will be
posted closer to the conference date.

Location :Oxford Road

This is an exciting opportunity to work on a major ERC-funded project
to edit and study the Arabic commentaries on the Hippocratic Aphorisms
in a variety of innovative ways.

You will compile provisional editions of the extant Arabic
commentaries on the basis of medieval manuscript copies, and enter
them as XML into a database that is to be constructed during the
project.  You will also assist with the analysis of this database.
This requires the ability to read and transcribe medieval Arabic
manuscripts accurately and efficiently, and to help in the
interpretation of the rich exegetical tradition of the Aphorisms in
Arabic.  A familiarity with classical Greek and/or Syriac would be an
advantage, although not a prerequisite for the post.  You should have
obtained a doctorate in a field relevant to this project.  Previous
experience with editing medieval Arabic manuscripts is essential.

Both posts are fixed term for four years.

applications from all sections of the community.

Subject:Palestinian negation query

I am working on an undergraduate thesis on Arabic negation, focussing
on the loss of ma in Palestinian Arabic and possible syntactic
repercussions.  However, I have received conflicting information as to
what the actual data is, i.e. whether negation without ma actually
exists in Palestinian Arabic, and how widespread it is.  I would
appreciate any concrete information regarding this issue, including
data and sources that have discussed it.
Thank you very much,
Laura McClane

Dear colleagues,
We thank all of you who have answered positively to our call for papers.
We believe that we should encourage young scholars, and are happy to
inform you that we have applied for extra-funding that would cover
accommodation expenses for the younger participants.
We would therefore greatly appreciate it if you could send us as soon
as possible the final confirmation of your participation in the
conference as well as your abstract, so that we can start working on
the conference schedule and plan the accommodation funding.
We look forward to hearing from you soon and to seeing you in Jerusalem.
With our best regards,
The organizing committee

to navigate daily life;
*       Undertake an internship, putting into practice theories and ideas
from readings and classroom debates; and
*       Live in Ramallah, a culturally vibrant Palestinian city, and
participate in cultural excursions.

Subject:Dissertation: Demonstratives

I would like to announce to the list my completed PhD dissertation.

Zaki, M. (2011). The Semantics and Pragmatics of Demonstratives in English
and Arabic. PhD Dissertation. Middlesex University.

Abstract:

This research investigates the semantics and pragmatics of demonstratives
in two languages, English and Arabic, within the framework of relevance
theory. The study applies the fundamental distinction between ?conceptual?
and ?procedural? semantics in an attempt to account for the various
instantiations of such referring expressions in the two languages. I argue
that demonstratives play a crucial role in aligning the discourse models of
the speaker and hearer by encoding procedural semantics instructing the
hearer to maintain or create a joint level of attention to the intended
referent as opposed to other referential candidates. Following Diessel
(2006), I take it that this notion of joint attention subsumes all the
cognitive and functional roles played by demonstratives in discourse. I
also argue that demonstratives encode a (pro)concept of distance which
falls under the scope of the attention-directing procedure, thus creating
the internal contrast between the intended referent and other candidate
referents. Within this proposal, I discuss how demonstratives can
contribute to both the explicit and the implicit levels of meaning by
virtue of the interaction between their encoded semantics and the context
in a relevance-driven framework. Compared to other referring expressions or
no referring expression at all, the role of a demonstrative achieves
relevance on the implicit level. It can either highlight a certain aspect
of the referent, or encourage the creation of weak implicatures, or signal
a certain cognitive/emotional attitude towards the referent. The study is
supported by an analysis of corpus data from both languages in order to
supplement theoretical proposals with attested evidence.

I further extend my analysis to include two areas. First, I discuss cases
of self-repair in spoken English discourse which involves the definite
article and demonstratives. By linking the notion of self-repair to that of
optimal relevance, I shed some light on the semantic and pragmatic
differences between these two referring expressions. Second, I extend my
analysis to include other forms of demonstratives in Arabic and explore
their semantic and pragmatic behaviour in discourse. I propose a procedural
account for the three forms attentional *haa*, *kadhaalik* and
*haakadhaa,*arguing that their contribution goes well beyond that of
mere demonstrative
reference to that of being discourse markers encoding procedural
constraints on interpretation. I also investigate some alternative
syntactic structures where demonstratives occur, arguing that the stylistic
effect of emphasis which they give rise to can be explained in terms of
relevant cognitive effects.

I attach it here for your reference, I know you do not include attachments
in the list emails.

Best wishes,

Mai

Subject:Citizenship requirement in job ads

Dear Colleagues,

Several job ads on the list recently have included stipulations such as
"[employees] MUST be U.S. Citizens."

I would like to direct your attention to the United States Department of
Justice Best Practices for Online Job Postings:
http://www.justice.gov/crt/about/osc/htm/best_practices.php

In particular, allow me to quote the following passage:

> Do avoid making the assumption that only U.S. citizens are authorized to
work in the United States.
>
> Do avoid the following language in job postings:
>
>       ? "Only U.S. Citizens"
>       ? "Citizenship requirement"*
>       ? "Only U.S. Citizens or Green Card Holders"
>       ? "H-1Bs Only"
>       ? "Must have a U.S. Passport"
>       ? "Must have a green card"
> *UNLESS U.S. citizenship is required by law, regulation, executive order,
or government contract.

Given the DOJ policy stated above, unless U.S. citizenship is required by
law, regulation, executive order, or government contract, the stipulations
in ads of this sort are not only unfair and discriminatory, but may also be
unlawful.

Sincerely,

--

setting for students to focus on learning Arabic while exploring
ancient and modern Morocco. The main AALIM center is located inside
the traditional walled old city, called the Medina, an area which
features heavily in the Western popular imagination of Morocco. Meknes
is also a thriving modern metropolis of over one million residents.
The AALIM center is just a short walk from the bustling town center in
the New City.

Dear All,

Is anyone of you familiar with a beginners course of Media Arabic?

I do know Julia Ashtiany?s ?Media Arabic?,  and the booklet ?the top
1000 words for understanding Media Arabic?.

What I am searching for is a beginners text book that will start with
basic grammar using vocabulary like presidents and other heads of
state (although names are very tricky these days ;-), war and peace,
political processes etc.

Thanks for your attention,

Hi Kalim,

Any nationality can send an abstract and participate in the panel. The
abstract must be in English. We would love to have the presentation in
Arabic, but it has been the norm to present in English as the meeting
is open to educators of all nationalities and languages.

Hope this helps.

Subject:dialectology works in Arabic

Another work in Arabic about dialectology is Ayoub.


??????? ???????? -  ????? ?\ ??? ?????? ????  - 1968 ????? ??? ????? :
???????
 The author presents a good if brief and somewhat simplified overview of
the modern field of dialectology as it applies to Arabic before devoting
chapters to the phonology, morphology, syntax and lexicon of the Arabic
dialects.

An example of the author's perspective as adhering to the modern study of
dialects rather than that of those adhering to the traditional view
originating with later medieval Arab grammarians comes when, towards the
end of the first chapter (p. 41-41), he says this:

??? ????? ??? ??? ??????? ?????? ???? ????. ???????? ??? ??? ?? ??? ?? ??
?????? ?? ??? ????? ???? :  ???? ?? ??????? ?? ?? ????? ?? ???? ? ? ?? ??
?? ???? ??? ????? ??? ?????? ? ? ??? ?????? ?????? ? ? ??????? ??? ?? ??
???? ???? ???? ??? ??????

??? ????? ??? ????? ????? ??? ???????? ??? ?????  ? ?? ?? ????? ??? ??? ???
?? ??? ? ??? ????? ?????? ?? ?? ???? ?????? ???????

That was enough to clinch the decision for me to choose it for my students
to read!

Hi everyone,
I'm doing some personal translation training and trying to push beyond
general proficiency to into more profession specific language (intel
and security specifically). Does anybody know of any resources and /
or references that have glossaries or guides for intelligence and
security arabic. Anything with language pertinent to intel, security,
counter terrorism, jihadist or islamist thought, etc would be very
helpful.

Best,

Subject:Reach Out NGO in Cairo

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am contacting you on behalf of Reach Out Development, an NGO based
in Cairo, aimed at promoting cultural exchange between Egyptians and
foreigner through the medium of education. As part of this objective
+we launched the Access Cairo Program in 2009. The program aims to
ease the transition into life in Egypt and offer lessons in both MSA
(standard Arabic) and the Egyptian dialect taught by highly qualified
professors at, for students, affordable prices.

However, Arabic lessons are just one of the many services that we
offer. As well as assistance with finding accommodation, we also give
applicants the opportunity to gain valuable experience as volunteer
teachers and even to apply for an internship within the organisation
itself. We offer internships in a number of fields including teaching
your native language, web design, marketing and advertising and
graphic design.

We are currently trying to increase awareness of our program outside
of Egypt, particularly targeting university students who are willing
to learn the Arabic language and immerse themselves in the Arabic
culture.

It is with this intention in mind that I am writing you. From the
website of your university I understood that your university offers
courses in either Arabic studies, languages or otherwise
internationally related fields. I would like to offer our Arabic
lessons and internship positions to those  students who might be
interested.

Please find our Access Cairo brochure attached to this email with more
information about our organisation and the services that we offer.
More information can also be found on our website: www.reachoutngo.org

I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards,

Dabber Sagel

Subject:Online workspace for Arabic culture Open Source audiovisuals

Dear colleagues,

I am developing an online workspace with the purpose of exposing
learners of Arabic to culture using Open Source audiovisuals, and I
would like to share it with you.

http://arabicculture.pbworks.com/w/page/29964513/Arabic%20Culture%20in%20the%20Classroom

It is far from being perfect or comprehensive, but it is a first step
towards having lots of materials in the same place, and towards
raising some questions around the importance and the challenges of
teaching culture in the language classroom.

Your feedback and suggestions are very welcomed.

Laila

Hi Jan!

I think that the magazine Al Moukhtatrat (published by the IMA in Paris) has
a few numbers devoted to media Arabic and, though it might be a little be
outdated today, it could still be helpful for general vocabulary:

http://www.imarabe.org/apprendre-arabe/revue-mokhtarat/a-la-une

I also suggest that you have a look at this dictionary:

Lexique bilingue de l'arabe des m?dias

http://www.editions-ellipses.fr/product_info.php?products_id=7037

And our colleague Mourad Diouri is about to publish another somewhat related
book:

http://www.v-arabic.com/mourad.diouri/?p=420

Last but not least, the Escuela de Traductores de Toledo in Spain published
(check out the 2008 newest edition with CD) two volumes on Media Arabic
geared toward basic level students:

?rabe de prensa. M?todo para la comprensi?n auditiva y escrita. Autores:
Juan Carandell, Jaime S?nchez Ratia y Ahmed Teziti. Incluye cederr?n de
audio mp3. Vol. I: 115 p?gs. Vol. II: 141 p?gs. ISSN: 1578-5009.

http://www.uclm.es/escueladetraductores/investigacion/cuadernos.asp


I hope this info helps you add new titles to those that you already had?

Dear Jan,

The vocabulary used in Karin C. Ryding and David J. Mehall, Formal
Spoken Arabic (Washington, DC, 2005) is in line with your request. The
book assumes some knowledge of Arabic, but not too much.

Description:

The Department of Linguistics at the United Arab Emirates University seeks
to fill a position in phonology/phonetics  at Associate or Full Professor Rank.

The ideal candidate will have an earned PhD in linguistics and demonstrate a
record of excellence in university-level teaching and research in phonology or
phonetics-phonology interface. Applicants with interest in experimental (e.g.
speech analysis/synthesis, computational, developmental, neurolinguistic or
clinical) approaches to phonology, and those with fieldwork experience, are
particularly encouraged to apply. Expertise in Arabic phonology is desirable
but not required.

The Department of Linguistics offers undergraduate and PhD level programs
in theoretical and applied linguistics. Successful applicants are expected to
teach undergraduate courses in any area of linguistics. Faculty members are
expected to teach at all levels in the program, to share in general education
teaching, and to participate, as appropriate, in graduate teaching and
supervision.

Faculty members in the Department of Linguistics are involved in a broad
range of research projects in theoretical and applied linguistics. The

facilities housing psycholinguistic behavioral testing suites, an EEG system,
and a phonetics laboratory. In the coming year we will expand our capabilities
to fMRI and MEG imaging techniques for neurolinguistic research.

The initial appointment will be for a four-year period (renewable)
with the first
two years probationary. The standard teaching load is 12 hours per semester,
modified in varying degrees by course remissions arising from funded
research and consultative activities and administrative roles. All faculty
members are expected to have an ongoing research agenda and to be
engaged in the publication of works that have been subject to external peer
review and appear in internationally recognized and cited journals or other
volumes.

This appointment will commence in September 2012 or as soon as possible
thereafter.

The UAEU offers a competitive tax-free salary commensurate with
qualifications and level of appointment. Benefits provided by the university
include housing, a furniture allowance, employer-paid comprehensive health
insurance, an education allowance for children, annual airline tickets for the
employee and family members, and an end-of-service gratuity based on
years of service.

Interested applicants should initially submit a CV with names and email
addresses of three referees along with a letter of interest describing their
teaching and research to Dr. Ali Idrissi at: ali.idrissi at uaeu.ac.ae

Dear Brian

Edinburgh University Press has launched a new series called Essential
Middle Eastern Vocabularies. There is a volume forthcoming (the ms is
complete and publication is expected in June or July this year) called
"Intelligence and Security Arabic". It is simply a collection of the
most useful c.1,000 terms, listed in Arabic and English, with an
index. It also includes a CD with audio files of each of the 13
chapters and an online resource of audio-visual flashcards for each
entry. It has been compiled by someone with long experience in the
field.

I hope you will find it useful.

With best wishes

Elisabeth

Dear list members,
I'll spend about 4 weeks in Massachusetts from Mar.23. During this period
I'll be happy to offer free Arabic lessons to university students:
1. Lessons will focus mainly on conversation in Modern Standard Arabic (no
colloquials), in addition to preparations for exams.
2. Beginners and intermediate students will have priority.
3. We'll use Sahlawayhi's books, in addition to the students' own textbooks.
4. Preference will be given to groups of about five students.
5. I have an M.A. in TAFL from AUC, and over 25 years experience.
If interested, please contact me soon to arrange your schedule.
Looking forward to working with as many students of the area as possible.

LDC and consists of 599 distinct newswire stories from the Lebanese
publication An Nahar translated from Arabic to English and annotated
for part-of-speech and syntactic structure.
This corpus is part of an ongoing effort at LDC to produce parallel
Arabic and English treebanks. The guidelines followed for both
part-of-speech and syntactic annotation are Penn Treebank II style,
with changes in the tokenization of hyphenated words, part-of-speech
and tree changes necessitated by those tokenization changes and
revisions to the syntactic annotation to comply with the updated
annotation guidelines (including the "Treebank-PropBank merge" or
"Treebank IIa" and "treebank c" changes). The original Penn Treebank
II guidelines, addenda describing changes to the guidelines and the
tokenization specifications can be found on LDC's website.
The data consists of 461,489 tokens in 599 individual files. The news
stories in this release were published in An Nahar in 2002.
The English sources files (translated from the Arabic) were
automatically tokenized, part-of-speech tagged and parsed; the tokens,
tags and parses were manually corrected. The quality control process
consisted of a series of specific searches for over 100 types of
potential inconsistency and parse or annotation error. Any errors
found in those searches were manually corrected.
Annotations are in the following two formats:
Penn Style Trees
Bracketed tree files following the basic form (NODE (TAG token)). Each
sentence is surrounded by a pair of empty parentheses.
AG xml
TreeEditor .xml stand-off annotation files. These files contain the
POS and Treebank annotation and reference the source files by
character offset. DTD files for the AG xml files were moved from their
original location indicated in the readme to be more consistent with
LDC publications.
English Translation Treebank: An Nahar Newswire is distributed via web
download.

2012 Subscription Members will automatically receive two copies of
this corpus on disc. 2012 Standard Members may request a copy as part
of their 16 free membership corpora.   Non-members may license this
data for US$4500.

Subject:response to dialectology reference

[I believe this post is referring to the Ayoub reference--moderator]

Hello

The reference mentioned to explain the concept of Arabic dialects
contains inaccurate information as  a) The Quran was brought down and
read in 7 dialects, the Quraishi dialect being only one of them. This
is why Uthmanic orthography is utilized in the Quranic script, as well
the different authorized readings still heard for each of these
dialects.
b) from an Islamic perspective, the prophets sent were all elevated
and held positions similar to prophet Muhammad-peace be upon him- and
so were the books delivered through them remembering ofcourse that
they all spoke different tongues/dialects/languages.... But the fact
is that none of these books was reserved in its original tongue or
wording. So for example prophet Isa/Jesus-peace be upon him-never
spoke to his people in Latin and accordingly the Latin Bible is not
accepted as a reference to Muslims. Islamically, all the
tongues/languages hold the same position. There is no preference in
tongues except for the fact that the Quran with its language is the
only preserved reference for God's Word.

Fusha is a widely misunderstood term. And many "modern" references are
a dissapointment. Dialects always existed, one for every 30 km, a
universal fact. Populations divide when they do not have a reference
point to return to as is the position of the evolved European
languages. Europeans actually need to attend language courses to
understand their neighbours. This applies to many languages worldwide.
The Arabic language of the Quran serves as a reference language and
uniting point for Arabs to understand each other with no degrading to
their local dialects.

Subject:Resources for security Arabic

Greetings.

Some clarification of WHICH aspects or disciplines within the very
large fields of "intelligence" and "security" are of interest would be
helpful in citing some references.

Here is one bilingual reference on the "security" side, with emphasis
on the public safety / police / anti-crime aspects:

Title: Security Dictionary English-Arabic -- ??????? ?????? = ??????? ????
Author: The Studies and Research Center
Naif Arab Academy for Security Studies (NAASS)
Publisher: NAASS Press, Riyadh, 1997 / 1418 H.
Paperback, 260 pp
Price at local bookstores in Riyadh in 2007 was 46 SR.

(NAASS is now the Naif Arab University for Security Studies, or NAUSS)

I understand that the major book outlets in Riyadh [i.e. the Obeikan
and Jarir chains] now carry a much-expanded later edition [may be
circa 2007 or 2008] which includes terms related to terrorism,
counter-terrorism, and internal security operations.

For [military/defense] intelligence-related terms, those terms are
usually included inside generic bilingual dictionaries and glossaries
on military subjects. A number of those references exists.  Let me
know of specific interests or fields in intelligence, operations &
planning [since they are closely related, if not interdependent], and
I can refer you to some titles and vendors in the US that carry or can
search and order them from overseas publishers with which they have US
distributorship agreements.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Stephen H. Franke

Subject:New teaching book

Dear Arabic Educator:

We are pleased to announce the release of the Al-Asas for Teaching
Arabic for Non-Native Speakers series. The new series created for high
school and university students of any nationality, provides insight
and understanding into the Arabic language and its proper usage.

The easy-to-read series is well written and excels at guiding students
from one level to the next in a gradual and logical manner.
Volume I (Beginner Level) introduces readers to the Arabic alphabet
and phonetics, incorporating a multi-language dictionary and a guide
for verbs and nouns in the lessons.
Volume II (Advanced Beginner) contains dialogue-themed exercises, and
focuses on the four key language skills: reading, conversation,
listening and writing. It also comes with a dictionary and a guide for
verbs and nouns.
Volume III (Intermediate) offers a summary of Arabic culture, history
and civilization.
Each volume comes with an audio MP3 CD (total time of the 3 CDs is
close to 16 hours)

If your school is currently using the Al-Asas Curriculum, or you have
received samples, simply complete the Al-Asas Survey and you will be
eligible to receive one FREE COPY of Al-Asas (any volume) for every 10
copies you order, in any combination, of the three volumes.*

We hope that you will be satisfied, as we are, with this product. We
believe that these books will be a great tool for future Arabic
learners. Inner pages and audio samples are available on the Noorart
website (http://www.noorart.com/school_section/AL-Asas-for-Teaching-Arabic-for-Non-Native-Speakers).

full immersion program in Arabic (both MSA and colloquial) taught by
highly skilled native speakers. I highly recommend this program in

Hi Dil,

There is the Gulf Arabic Programme (GAP) in Buraimi, Oman, right at
the border with the UAE (Al Ain).  They do both Gulf Arabic and MSA.
I received some Gulf dialect tutoring there about 5 years ago and
found it very beneficial.  At the time, I had looked for something in
the Muscat area and could not find anything, but something may have
popped up since.  I also heard about a program in Salalah, but I can't
find any information now, so it's possible that it's not there
anymore.  Here is the link for GAP:

There are several great options:
1. Sultan Qaboos Cultural Center, 202-261-1690, runs a summer language
program in Muscat for non-native undergraduates who have already had at
least a year of Arabic.  Contact person is Scott Erich, a really terrific
and knowledgable guy. His direct email is serich at sqcc.org

2. The other option is to contact the World Learning Oman Center directly,
because their teachers give tutoring on an ad-hoc basis.  Their number in
Oman is +011 968 24422230.  The email is
*info at oman.worldlearning.org*<info at oman.worldlearning.org>.

I hope this is helpful to you!
