Hello,

I am looking for a few researches covering the topic of using English in
the Arabic classroom vs. keeping it 90% in Arabic according to ACTFL
standards. Thank you.

[moderator's note: please respond directly to the requester, not to the

Hello All,
Thank you for your help on my previous question.
I wanted to ask - Do you know of an Arabic tutor/reader located in
Berkeley, CA? I am currently looking for someone who could help me read
Arabic texts on educational thought, philosophy of education in Arabic. I
will be able to compensate, but do need someone to work regularly with me
on a week to week basis. A graduate student or someone with advanced
understanding of Arabic is what I am looking for.
Thank you,
Reem Javed

Abstract:

The Arabic Influence on Northern Berber provides an overview of the effects
of
language contact on a wide array of Berber languages spoken in the Maghrib.
These languages have undergone important changes in their lexicon,
phonology,
morphology, and syntax as a result of over a thousand years of Arabic
influence. The social situation of Berber-Arabic language contact is similar
all over the region: Berber speakers introducing Arabic features into their
language, with only little language shift going on. Moreover, the
typological
profile of the different Berber varieties is relatively homogenous. The
comparison of contact-induced change in Berber therefore adds up to a study
in
typological variation of contact influence under very similar linguistic and
social conditions.

Dear Reem,

I am quite sure these works can be interesting for your research. They are
based on a communicative approach.
I am sorry to say that the Web page is in Spanish but you might find more
information about them in other places. They are three different levels.

Subject:British Driving in Arab Countries

On the other hand, people drive on the right in Japan although the country
was not a a British colony in the past. This made me curious during a
week-long visit donkey's years ago.

A former British professor of mine once told me that driving a vehicle was
initially modeled on horseback riding. The rider stayed on the left side of
the road to have enough elbow room to use his right hand when need be to
draw his sword that dangled on his left side.

hi all,
I hate to sound like the Copyright Police (which I am not), but you & your
institution could encounter big problems (lawsuit!) if you put this link on
your institution's websites, blogs, etc.  Even tho'  Wehr is quite old now,
it's not out of copyright (and won't be for about 40 more years).  You may
find this hard to believe but publishers actually troll the web looking for
these things, as they see it as copyright infringement, and by putting the
dictionary on the web, they are losing sales.  Just a word to the wise....

Abstract:

The notions of Islam that are prevalent in the public imagination  are
founded
and shaped by public discourse itself. This study examines the process by
which perceptions of Islam are constructed using the methods of lexical
semantics, discourse analysis, and corpus linguistics. This specific
combination of methods illustrates the unique textual and discursive
potentials of contemporary linguistics.

Subject: NEW BOOK:Copulae in the Arabic Noun Phrase

My book, "Copulae in the Arabic Noun Phrase. A Unified Analysis of Arabic
Adnominal Markers" is now available from Brill.

Please find below the book abstract:

Morphemes combined with the Arabic noun are clearly described in the
literature, but their interpretation can be somewhat nebulous, and a unified
scholarly analysis does not as yet exist. This book proposes a new and
unified perspective regarding these morphemes, analyzing them as copulae,
and the constructions in which they occur as instances of predication.

Analyzing morphemes combined with the Arabic noun as copulae explains many
of their puzzling properties (rise and loss of declension, proteiform nature
of nunation, etc.). Emphasis is placed on data previously marginalized in
the description of these morphemes, from pre-Classical Arabic transmitted by
Arab Grammarians, Semitic languages that contributed to the emergence of
Arabic through language contact, and roughly 30 languages genetically
unrelated to Arabic.


All the best,

Francesco Grande,

Researcher in Arabic Language and Literature

Università Ca' Foscari di Venezia

Subject: Using 'Berber'

Most scholars, who have been educated in French, prefer the term Tamazight
to the term Berber because for them the term Berber is derogatory (deriving
from the Latin word barbaros). However, the term Berber does not have or
bear any negative connotations in the Anglo-Saxon literature on Berber. The
term Tamazight also refers to a variety of Berber and its use excludes
other Berber varieties such as Tarifit and Tashlhit. Therefore, the term
Berber is more general, neutral and still in use.

natural-language-processing dictionary that allows a morphological analyser
to perform recognition of broken plural form of nouns in written text.

Tattle Publishing is pleased to announce the release of the new publication:

“*Arabic stories for Language Learners*” by Hezi Brosh and Lutfi Mansur.

 Publication details:

The book contains 66 stories in Arabic intended for all levels of learning.
The stories have been edited and simplified for learning purposes, and are
presented in parallel Arabic and English versions to facilitate language
learning. An audio CD in Arabic helps students improve their pronunciation
and inflection, while introducing readers to the uniquely Arabic style of
storytelling.

These delightful tales animate Arab culture in an immediate way, offering
readers a glimpse of the social, cultural and religious context of the Arab
society before and after Islam. The English translations allow readers who
are not yet studying the language to experience the wisdom and humor of
these ancient, dessert-dwelling people.

For those interested, the book is available on Amazon.com and Tuttle
Publishing.

Hello All,
Thank you for your help on my previous question.
I wanted to ask - Do you know of an Arabic tutor/reader located in
Berkeley, CA? I am currently looking for someone who could help me read
Arabic texts on educational thought, philosophy of education in Arabic. I
will be able to compensate, but do need someone to work regularly with me
on a week to week basis. A graduate student or someone with advanced
understanding of Arabic is what I am looking for.
Thank you,

Abstract:

The Arabic Influence on Northern Berber provides an overview of the effects
of
language contact on a wide array of Berber languages spoken in the Maghrib.
These languages have undergone important changes in their lexicon,
phonology,
morphology, and syntax as a result of over a thousand years of Arabic
influence. The social situation of Berber-Arabic language contact is similar
all over the region: Berber speakers introducing Arabic features into their
language, with only little language shift going on. Moreover, the
typological
profile of the different Berber varieties is relatively homogenous. The
comparison of contact-induced change in Berber therefore adds up to a study
in
typological variation of contact influence under very similar linguistic and
social conditions.

Dear Reem,

I am quite sure these works can be interesting for your research. They are
based on a communicative approach.
I am sorry to say that the Web page is in Spanish but you might find more
information about them in other places. They are three different levels.

Dear colleagues,

Would anybody know if and where I might find the dictionaries below on-line

On the other hand, people drive on the right in Japan although the country
was not a a British colony in the past. This made me curious during a
week-long visit donkey's years ago.

A former British professor of mine once told me that driving a vehicle was
initially modeled on horseback riding. The rider stayed on the left side of
the road to have enough elbow room to use his right hand when need be to
draw his sword that dangled on his left side.

Languages on the occasion of his retirement. Half the articles are concerned
with Arabic dialects from the areas Prof Ingham spent his academic life
researching, principally Arabia and the neighbouring areas: Oman, Jordan,
Sinai, the Negev, southern Turkey, Syria. Other articles are concerned with
general topics in Arabic dialectology. The book contains a complete
bibliography of Professor Ingham's publications.

hi all,
I hate to sound like the Copyright Police (which I am not), but you & your
institution could encounter big problems (lawsuit!) if you put this link on
your institution's websites, blogs, etc.  Even tho'  Wehr is quite old now,
it's not out of copyright (and won't be for about 40 more years).  You may
find this hard to believe but publishers actually troll the web looking for
these things, as they see it as copyright infringement, and by putting the
dictionary on the web, they are losing sales.  Just a word to the wise....

Abstract:

The notions of Islam that are prevalent in the public imagination  are
founded
and shaped by public discourse itself. This study examines the process by
which perceptions of Islam are constructed using the methods of lexical
semantics, discourse analysis, and corpus linguistics. This specific
combination of methods illustrates the unique textual and discursive
potentials of contemporary linguistics.

Subject: NEW BOOK:Copulae in the Arabic Noun Phrase

My book, "Copulae in the Arabic Noun Phrase. A Unified Analysis of Arabic
Adnominal Markers" is now available from Brill.

Please find below the book abstract:

Morphemes combined with the Arabic noun are clearly described in the
literature, but their interpretation can be somewhat nebulous, and a unified
scholarly analysis does not as yet exist. This book proposes a new and
unified perspective regarding these morphemes, analyzing them as copulae,
and the constructions in which they occur as instances of predication.

Analyzing morphemes combined with the Arabic noun as copulae explains many
of their puzzling properties (rise and loss of declension, proteiform nature
of nunation, etc.). Emphasis is placed on data previously marginalized in
the description of these morphemes, from pre-Classical Arabic transmitted by
Arab Grammarians, Semitic languages that contributed to the emergence of
Arabic through language contact, and roughly 30 languages genetically
unrelated to Arabic.


All the best,

Francesco Grande,

Subject: Using 'Berber'

Most scholars, who have been educated in French, prefer the term Tamazight
to the term Berber because for them the term Berber is derogatory (deriving
from the Latin word barbaros). However, the term Berber does not have or
bear any negative connotations in the Anglo-Saxon literature on Berber. The
term Tamazight also refers to a variety of Berber and its use excludes
other Berber varieties such as Tarifit and Tashlhit. Therefore, the term
Berber is more general, neutral and still in use.

Title: "Pattern-and-root inflectional morphology: the Arabic broken
plural". (30 pages)

The model is tested on 3200 nouns and implemented into a
natural-language-processing dictionary that allows a morphological analyser
to perform recognition of broken plural form of nouns in written text.

Tattle Publishing is pleased to announce the release of the new publication:

?*Arabic stories for Language Learners*? by Hezi Brosh and Lutfi Mansur.

 Publication details:

The book contains 66 stories in Arabic intended for all levels of learning.
The stories have been edited and simplified for learning purposes, and are
presented in parallel Arabic and English versions to facilitate language
learning. An audio CD in Arabic helps students improve their pronunciation
and inflection, while introducing readers to the uniquely Arabic style of
storytelling.

These delightful tales animate Arab culture in an immediate way, offering
readers a glimpse of the social, cultural and religious context of the Arab
society before and after Islam. The English translations allow readers who
are not yet studying the language to experience the wisdom and humor of
these ancient, dessert-dwelling people.

For those interested, the book is available on Amazon.com and Tuttle
Publishing.

For additional information or general questions please contact
