August Intensive Arabic Language Program
at the
CENTER FOR INTERNATIONAL LEARNING

in Muscat, Oman

The National Council on U.S.-Arab Relations is pleased to present
information about a special August Arabic Program at the Center for
International Learning (CIL) in Muscat, Oman.

About the Center for International Learning in Oman:

CIL invites you to learn and grow through study in the Sultanate of Oman,
an Italy-sized nation on the Arabian Sea. For years students have found
this an ideal setting for their international study, a nation of warm and
welcoming people who practice a form of Islam - Ibadhism - that practices
tolerance and acceptance of others. CIL provides students with the learning
experiences needed to become world citizens.

Comprised of Americans and Omanis with PhD and Masters Degrees, the CIL
faculty facilitates experiential education, cultural exchange, and
comparative studies to deepen understanding, promote common interests, and
explore the shared aspirations of people from different cultures. CIL
offers students the chance of a lifetime--the kind of understanding that
yields lasting friendship, tolerance and mutual respect.

CIL offers all three levels of Modern Standard Arabic (beginner,
intermediate, and advanced), as well as Omani dialect, media Arabic, and
skills classes. Arabic is one of the fastest growing languages learned by
students in the U.S. Known for its fascinating complexity, it is a language
of literature, poetry and elegant calligraphy. Arabic also is a language
that encompasses deep and abiding cultural traditions, making its study a
rich and rewarding learning experience.

CIL utilizes Al Kitaab fii Taalum Al-Arabiya, Part 1 and 2, as well as
other materials developed by the teaching faculty. Arabic instruction at
CIL covers media literacy, comprehension, and active use of
lughat-al-muthaqqafeen ("educated speech"), as used on Al Jazeera.

All of CIL's Arabic language classes are taught by native Omani instructors
trained in Teaching Arabic as a Foreign Language (TAFL). Students also can
elect to enhance language learning through informal sessions with an
individual Omani Language Partner (i.e., chatting, shopping at the souk,
cooking, going to movies and other local events, such as village weddings).

About the August Arabic Program:

CIL is offering a 3-week Arabic program from August 18 – September 5, 2013.
Instruction is offered at Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced levels, and
includes Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) grammar, media literacy, skills
(reading, writing, listening), conversation (MSA and Omani dialect), and
utilizes peer facilitators (Omani language partners). The program includes
6 hours of classes 5 days a week, with class sizes typically between 5 and
8 students.

August Arabic Program Cost:

Tuition only - $2,455

In-country package (includes: tuition, shared modern hotel suite or flat,
half board (i.e., weekday continental breakfast and lunch), and weekday
ground transportation) - $2,900

Application Form:

Applications are available through the link below or can be obtained by
emailing Megan Geissler at Megan at ncusar.org.

http://ncusar.org/programs/NCUSAR-CIL-2013-August-Application.pdf

Students should email completed applications to
Arabic_August at omancenter.orgalong with a copy of the photo page of
their passport. Applications are due
June 21, 2013.

Workbook 2, 17 Cassettes, ;part of the series: " Modern Arabic The
Arab-European Encounter for Advanced Course"  by Attar and "Grammar in

Subject:Study Abroad in Oman

Dear University Colleagues:

I am sending this communication given growing concern about student safety
in countries of the region, now including Turkey, Lebanon and even Jordan.
We see this concern through consistent media coverage, and also through the
notable increase of students seeking to study with us in Oman-- as well as
from universities that have asked if we can now accept more of their
students this fall.

Based on these requests, we have made plans to double our Study Abroad
Program for this coming September (www.omancenter.org). But there is, of
course a limit to what we can do, particularly in a relatively short period
of time. And while we want to be as responsive as possible, I also am
concerned that our efforts to accommodate not be at the expense of viable
programs elsewhere. But violence in parts of the region is of obvious
concern and the limitations it places on students who desire international
study accrue to no one's long-term benefit.

Many of you realize that Oman is welcoming and highly safe, with no student
safety issues in eight years of study abroad so far. So this is our
situation, and our desire to be helpful, albeit with limitations of
practicality. I ask university program administrators seeking to re-direct
students to Oman to contact me before the end of June, so we can have
appropriate discussions and makes necessary plans to accommodate them at
CIL.

Subject:CIL August Intensive Program in Oman

*August Intensive Arabic Language Program at the CENTER FOR INTERNATIONAL
LEARNING in Muscat, Oman *

CIL is offering a 3-week Arabic program from August 18 -- September 5,
2013. Instruction is offered at Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced
levels, and includes Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) grammar, media literacy,
skills (reading, writing, listening), conversation (MSA and Omani dialect),
and utilizes peer facilitators (Omani language partners). The program
includes 6 hours of classes 5 days a week, with class sizes typically
between 5 and 8 students.

*/About the Center for International Learning in Oman: /*
CIL invites you to learn and grow through study in the Sultanate of Oman,
an Italy-sized nation on the Arabian Sea. For years students have found
this an ideal setting for their international study, a nation of warm and
welcoming people who practice a form of Islam - Ibadhism - that practices
tolerance and acceptance of others. CIL provides students with the learning
experiences needed to become world citizens.

Comprised of Americans and Omanis with PhD and Masters Degrees, the CIL
faculty facilitates experiential education, cultural exchange, and
comparative studies to deepen understanding, promote common interests, and
explore the shared aspirations of people from different cultures. CIL
offers students the chance of a lifetime--the kind of understanding that
yields lasting friendship, tolerance and mutual respect.

CIL offers all three levels of Modern Standard Arabic (beginner,
intermediate, and advanced), as well as Omani dialect, media Arabic, and
skills classes. Arabic is one of the fastest growing languages learned by
students in the U.S. Known for its fascinating complexity, it is a language
of literature, poetry and elegant calligraphy. Arabic also is a language
that encompasses deep and abiding cultural traditions, making its study a
rich and rewarding learning experience.

CIL utilizes /Al Kitaab fii Taalum Al-Arabiya/, Part 1, 2 and 3, as well as
other materials developed by the teaching faculty. Arabic instruction at
CIL covers media literacy, comprehension, and active use of
lughat-al-muthaqqafeen ("educated speech"), as used on Al Jazeera.

All of CIL's Arabic language classes are taught by native Omani instructors
trained in Teaching Arabic as a Foreign Language (TAFL). Students also
enhance language learning through informal sessions with an Omani Language
Partner.
/
/*/August Arabic Program Cost: /*

 * Tuition only - $2,455

 * In-country package (includes: tuition, shared modern hotel suite or
   flat, half board (i.e., weekday continental breakfast and lunch),
   and weekday ground transportation) - $2,900

Subject:updated online courses, financial aid and day camps

Blended learning is enabling students who once had no access to make
impressive progress in learning Arabic, as is evident from some of our success
stories <http://nmelrc.org/campaww>.

 We are pleased to announce that three of the four semesters of BYU
Independent Study's online high school Arabic
courses<http://nmelrc.org/how-register-arabic-without-walls-0>,
updated for use with the third edition of the *Al-Kitaab* textbook series,
are now available with the fourth soon to follow. Likewise our first
semester university-level course
(101)<http://nmelrc.org/how-register-arabic-without-walls-0> is
now available online with 102 well on its way to completion. These courses
make use of a Conversation Café that gives students the opportunity to
speak with other students and teaching assistants to practice what they are
learning. And we are in the process of adding suggestions from our Project
Perseverance research to help parents assist their children in becoming
more effective learners.

 We still have aid available for financially challenged high school
students<http://nmelrc.org/scholarship-studying-arabic-online>.
And we are looking to do more one-day camps <http://nmelrc.org/campaww> around
the country. Spread the word, please.

 Many thanks!

In Spain, in the School of Languages, and in some universities, the series
of Albujayra Publishers is mainly used in all the different levels.They are
now also being used in Italy, Belgium  and in some centers in Morocco.  To
check sample pages you can visit www.kutub.albujayra.com or write to
orders at albujayra.com


Hope you have the chance to have a look at these books which follow a
different approach to that from the American-based methods.

Subject:Wants Beginning level Arabic News coursebook

Hi
I'm wondering if there is a course book  (or similar: e-book, sources on
line etc) for reading arabic news, like AUC's Media Arabic, but from
Beginners' level.
It could be also a textbook that introduces reading skill  for Beginners.
I mean a course book (or a Reader) to teach Arabic NOT with the aim of
speaking MSA but only understanding and reading (authentic material,
obviously) from the very first beginning. The subject could be also
Literature, or any other subject.

I already came across a book with this purpose but  the variety employed
was ESA not MSA.
I'm interested in such materials for Adults and also for Children
Thanks

We have add new "Project Perseverance" resources to:

 http://nmelrc.org/Pathways

 In particular I'd like to draw your attention to the PowerPoint available
under "Implications of Brain Plasticity  for Learners and Teachers of
Arabic." The case studies included there could help students and teachers
become far more effective. Some of the research findings available through
these links are very much cutting edge and could make a big difference for
students. We would appreciate in particular your passing this message on to
your students of all levels.

 Best wishes,

Hi All,

I am wondering if anyone can direct me to any published research or
articles that survey the use of Arabic teaching materials at different
universities in the United States, particularly for the first 2 or 3 years
of study.  In other words, how many programs are using Alif Baa/Al-Kitaab
versus Ahlan wa Sahlan or other textbooks?  Failing that, is there any way
to get annual sales data for these publications?

Thanks,

Arab Spring since Jan. 25th. 11 and taught to our non native students at
HIAS since then.
It is  MSA language course through Arab revolution media.

Abstract:

This book explores the issue of A/A-bar movement in Standard Arabic (SA)
within the framework of Minimalist Program (MP). The author’s contention
throughout this work is to show that A and A-bar movement have different
properties. Each of the different chapters may be self-contained part.
Still,
the common denominator to all of them is to support the claim that
A-movement
is not A-bar movement.

The first chapter outlines the basic concepts underlying the Minimalist
Program adopted in this book. The chapter begins with a demonstration of the
problems that beset Government and Binding (GB) theory and provides an
appropriate body of empirical evidence in favor of the properties of the
A/A-bar positions within the framework of the MP.

Chapter two outlines some salient properties of Standard Arabic. Special
attention is given to word order and Standard Arabic morphology. Some
previous
accounts of word order are examined to show their limitations and support
the
alternative analysis the author provides.

Chapter three explores in depth different types of A-bar movement such as
topicalization, left dislocation, wh-movement and relative clauses. The
major
claim the author argues in this chapter is that all these types of movement
involve a movement to a non L(lexically) related position.

Hello,

I'm doing some writing that explains traditional Arabic grammar to a
Western audience. As part of this, I'm trying to pick a single Arabic word
for the term "syntactic position". This is often used in traditional Arabic
grammar, such as (ضمير متصل في محل رفع فاعل). The term I'm looking relates
to function, syntactic role, position or place. I'd like to choose one word
from the following three:

1. محل
2. موقع e.g. "mawqi' al-mubtada"
3. موضع e.g. "mawdi' fi al-kamal"

I've noticed that in traditional analysis, the word "mahal" is used a lot,
e.g. "fee mahal nasb". But it appears that term is used only when another
word or phrase is occupying the position usually taken by another word. Are
the other two terms better?

My question in a nutshell is: What is the best word single to refer to the
concept of "syntactic position" in traditional Arabic grammar?

So far, I'm leaning towards using موقع  for this term. Examples would be
the positions of subject and predicate in nominative sentences, and the
positions of verb, subject and object in verbal sentences

Sociolinguistics

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

Call Deadline: 15-Aug-2013

Meeting Description:

The year 2013 marks the 400th anniversary of Leiden’s chair in Arabic
Language and Culture. To celebrate this memorable event, the Leiden
Institute for Area Studies and the Leiden University Centre for Linguistics
will convene a conference that will bring together Arabicists, Semiticists,
historians, and epigraphists to discuss original research on the pre- and
early history of Arabic.

Professor John Huehnergard (University of Texas, Austin) will deliver the
keynote address entitled ‘Arabic in its Semitic Context.’

The rest of the congress details will be available (via the conference
website) late September 2013.

Call for Papers:

The papers presented at this congress will be published in a volume
commemorating this important anniversary. It is hoped that the 400th year
of Arabic at Leiden will mark an important contribution to our
understanding of Arabic in its earliest stages.

We invite submissions on all topics dealing with the relationship between
Arabic and other the Semitic and Afro-Asiatic languages. We especially
encourage interdisciplinary approaches that combine the fields of
linguistics/philology and history to shed light on problems such as the
distribution of Arabic epigraphy, the development of the Arabic script, the
language of the Qur’an, and the linguistic geography of pre-Islamic Arabic.
These topics should only be considered as general guidelines and are not
exhaustive. Any paper dealing with Arabic in its historical and linguistic
context will be considered.

We welcome abstracts for papers (not exceeding 2 pages) before 15 August
2013. Please do not forget to mention your institutional affiliation.

Successful applicants will be informed early September 2013.

Participants must register in order to take part in the conference. The
registration fee is 50 euro. Meals and drinks will be provided for on both
congress days.

Please submit your abstracts and any questions you may have to congress
convener, Ahmad Al-Jallad, PhD: a.m.al-jallad at hum.leienuniv.nl.

August Intensive Arabic Language Program
at the
CENTER FOR INTERNATIONAL LEARNING

in Muscat, Oman

The National Council on U.S.-Arab Relations is pleased to present
information about a special August Arabic Program at the Center for
International Learning (CIL) in Muscat, Oman.

About the Center for International Learning in Oman:

CIL invites you to learn and grow through study in the Sultanate of Oman,
an Italy-sized nation on the Arabian Sea. For years students have found
this an ideal setting for their international study, a nation of warm and
welcoming people who practice a form of Islam - Ibadhism - that practices
tolerance and acceptance of others. CIL provides students with the learning
experiences needed to become world citizens.

Comprised of Americans and Omanis with PhD and Masters Degrees, the CIL
faculty facilitates experiential education, cultural exchange, and
comparative studies to deepen understanding, promote common interests, and
explore the shared aspirations of people from different cultures. CIL
offers students the chance of a lifetime--the kind of understanding that
yields lasting friendship, tolerance and mutual respect.

CIL offers all three levels of Modern Standard Arabic (beginner,
intermediate, and advanced), as well as Omani dialect, media Arabic, and
skills classes. Arabic is one of the fastest growing languages learned by
students in the U.S. Known for its fascinating complexity, it is a language
of literature, poetry and elegant calligraphy. Arabic also is a language
that encompasses deep and abiding cultural traditions, making its study a
rich and rewarding learning experience.

CIL utilizes Al Kitaab fii Taalum Al-Arabiya, Part 1 and 2, as well as
other materials developed by the teaching faculty. Arabic instruction at
CIL covers media literacy, comprehension, and active use of
lughat-al-muthaqqafeen ("educated speech"), as used on Al Jazeera.

All of CIL's Arabic language classes are taught by native Omani instructors
trained in Teaching Arabic as a Foreign Language (TAFL). Students also can
elect to enhance language learning through informal sessions with an
individual Omani Language Partner (i.e., chatting, shopping at the souk,
cooking, going to movies and other local events, such as village weddings).

About the August Arabic Program:

CIL is offering a 3-week Arabic program from August 18 ? September 5, 2013.
Instruction is offered at Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced levels, and
includes Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) grammar, media literacy, skills
(reading, writing, listening), conversation (MSA and Omani dialect), and
utilizes peer facilitators (Omani language partners). The program includes
6 hours of classes 5 days a week, with class sizes typically between 5 and
8 students.

August Arabic Program Cost:

Tuition only - $2,455

In-country package (includes: tuition, shared modern hotel suite or flat,
half board (i.e., weekday continental breakfast and lunch), and weekday
ground transportation) - $2,900

Application Form:

Applications are available through the link below or can be obtained by
emailing Megan Geissler at Megan at ncusar.org.

http://ncusar.org/programs/NCUSAR-CIL-2013-August-Application.pdf

Students should email completed applications to
Arabic_August at omancenter.orgalong with a copy of the photo page of
their passport. Applications are due
June 21, 2013.

S. Attar, "Modern Arabic" ... Student One, Workbook One, Student Two,
Workbook 2, 17 Cassettes, ;part of the series: " Modern Arabic The
Arab-European Encounter for Advanced Course"  by Attar and "Grammar in
Context for advanced students".

Modern Literary Arabic" by F. Ziadeh, "Let's Read the Newspaper Arabic" by
H. Rowland, "Contemporary Arabic Readers Newspaper Arabic" by E. McCarus and
"Errors In English Among Arabic Speakers: Analysis and Remedy" by N. Kharma.

Subject:Study Abroad in Oman

Dear University Colleagues:

I am sending this communication given growing concern about student safety
in countries of the region, now including Turkey, Lebanon and even Jordan.
We see this concern through consistent media coverage, and also through the
notable increase of students seeking to study with us in Oman-- as well as
from universities that have asked if we can now accept more of their
students this fall.

Based on these requests, we have made plans to double our Study Abroad
Program for this coming September (www.omancenter.org). But there is, of
course a limit to what we can do, particularly in a relatively short period
of time. And while we want to be as responsive as possible, I also am
concerned that our efforts to accommodate not be at the expense of viable
programs elsewhere. But violence in parts of the region is of obvious
concern and the limitations it places on students who desire international
study accrue to no one's long-term benefit.

Many of you realize that Oman is welcoming and highly safe, with no student
safety issues in eight years of study abroad so far. So this is our
situation, and our desire to be helpful, albeit with limitations of
practicality. I ask university program administrators seeking to re-direct
students to Oman to contact me before the end of June, so we can have
appropriate discussions and makes necessary plans to accommodate them at
CIL.

Subject:CIL August Intensive Program in Oman

*August Intensive Arabic Language Program at the CENTER FOR INTERNATIONAL
LEARNING in Muscat, Oman *

CIL is offering a 3-week Arabic program from August 18 -- September 5,
2013. Instruction is offered at Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced
levels, and includes Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) grammar, media literacy,
skills (reading, writing, listening), conversation (MSA and Omani dialect),
and utilizes peer facilitators (Omani language partners). The program
includes 6 hours of classes 5 days a week, with class sizes typically
between 5 and 8 students.

*/About the Center for International Learning in Oman: /*
CIL invites you to learn and grow through study in the Sultanate of Oman,
an Italy-sized nation on the Arabian Sea. For years students have found
this an ideal setting for their international study, a nation of warm and
welcoming people who practice a form of Islam - Ibadhism - that practices
tolerance and acceptance of others. CIL provides students with the learning
experiences needed to become world citizens.

Comprised of Americans and Omanis with PhD and Masters Degrees, the CIL
faculty facilitates experiential education, cultural exchange, and
comparative studies to deepen understanding, promote common interests, and
explore the shared aspirations of people from different cultures. CIL
offers students the chance of a lifetime--the kind of understanding that
yields lasting friendship, tolerance and mutual respect.

CIL offers all three levels of Modern Standard Arabic (beginner,
intermediate, and advanced), as well as Omani dialect, media Arabic, and
skills classes. Arabic is one of the fastest growing languages learned by
students in the U.S. Known for its fascinating complexity, it is a language
of literature, poetry and elegant calligraphy. Arabic also is a language
that encompasses deep and abiding cultural traditions, making its study a
rich and rewarding learning experience.

CIL utilizes /Al Kitaab fii Taalum Al-Arabiya/, Part 1, 2 and 3, as well as
other materials developed by the teaching faculty. Arabic instruction at
CIL covers media literacy, comprehension, and active use of
lughat-al-muthaqqafeen ("educated speech"), as used on Al Jazeera.

All of CIL's Arabic language classes are taught by native Omani instructors
trained in Teaching Arabic as a Foreign Language (TAFL). Students also
enhance language learning through informal sessions with an Omani Language
Partner.
/
/*/August Arabic Program Cost: /*

 * Tuition only - $2,455

 * In-country package (includes: tuition, shared modern hotel suite or
   flat, half board (i.e., weekday continental breakfast and lunch),
   and weekday ground transportation) - $2,900

Subject:updated online courses, financial aid and day camps

Blended learning is enabling students who once had no access to make
impressive progress in learning Arabic, as is evident from some of our success
stories <http://nmelrc.org/campaww>.

 We are pleased to announce that three of the four semesters of BYU
Independent Study's online high school Arabic
courses<http://nmelrc.org/how-register-arabic-without-walls-0>,
updated for use with the third edition of the *Al-Kitaab* textbook series,
are now available with the fourth soon to follow. Likewise our first
semester university-level course
(101)<http://nmelrc.org/how-register-arabic-without-walls-0> is
now available online with 102 well on its way to completion. These courses
make use of a Conversation Caf? that gives students the opportunity to
speak with other students and teaching assistants to practice what they are
learning. And we are in the process of adding suggestions from our Project
Perseverance research to help parents assist their children in becoming
more effective learners.

 We still have aid available for financially challenged high school
students<http://nmelrc.org/scholarship-studying-arabic-online>.
And we are looking to do more one-day camps <http://nmelrc.org/campaww> around
the country. Spread the word, please.

 Many thanks!

In Spain, in the School of Languages, and in some universities, the series
of Albujayra Publishers is mainly used in all the different levels.They are
now also being used in Italy, Belgium  and in some centers in Morocco.  To
check sample pages you can visit www.kutub.albujayra.com or write to
orders at albujayra.com


Hope you have the chance to have a look at these books which follow a
different approach to that from the American-based methods.

Subject:Wants Beginning level Arabic News coursebook

Hi
I'm wondering if there is a course book  (or similar: e-book, sources on
line etc) for reading arabic news, like AUC's Media Arabic, but from
Beginners' level.
It could be also a textbook that introduces reading skill  for Beginners.
I mean a course book (or a Reader) to teach Arabic NOT with the aim of
speaking MSA but only understanding and reading (authentic material,
obviously) from the very first beginning. The subject could be also
Literature, or any other subject.

I already came across a book with this purpose but  the variety employed
was ESA not MSA.
I'm interested in such materials for Adults and also for Children
Thanks

We have add new "Project Perseverance" resources to:

 http://nmelrc.org/Pathways

 In particular I'd like to draw your attention to the PowerPoint available
under "Implications of Brain Plasticity  for Learners and Teachers of
Arabic." The case studies included there could help students and teachers
become far more effective. Some of the research findings available through
these links are very much cutting edge and could make a big difference for
students. We would appreciate in particular your passing this message on to
your students of all levels.

 Best wishes,

Subject:Needs research that surveys textbook usage in US

Hi All,

I am wondering if anyone can direct me to any published research or
articles that survey the use of Arabic teaching materials at different
universities in the United States, particularly for the first 2 or 3 years
of study.  In other words, how many programs are using Alif Baa/Al-Kitaab
versus Ahlan wa Sahlan or other textbooks?  Failing that, is there any way
to get annual sales data for these publications?

Thanks,

Dear Stefani,
We at Hedayet Institute have this material developed by HIAS as the first
part of the Arabic Media course which we have started teaching,
experimenting and reviewing and soon ready to announce. We have focused on
Arab Spring since Jan. 25th. 11 and taught to our non native students at
HIAS since then.
It is  MSA language course through Arab revolution media.

Series Title: Linguistics Edition 95

Publisher: Lincom GmbH

Abstract:

This book explores the issue of A/A-bar movement in Standard Arabic (SA)
within the framework of Minimalist Program (MP). The author?s contention
throughout this work is to show that A and A-bar movement have different
properties. Each of the different chapters may be self-contained part.
Still,
the common denominator to all of them is to support the claim that
A-movement
is not A-bar movement.

The first chapter outlines the basic concepts underlying the Minimalist
Program adopted in this book. The chapter begins with a demonstration of the
problems that beset Government and Binding (GB) theory and provides an
appropriate body of empirical evidence in favor of the properties of the
A/A-bar positions within the framework of the MP.

Chapter two outlines some salient properties of Standard Arabic. Special
attention is given to word order and Standard Arabic morphology. Some
previous
accounts of word order are examined to show their limitations and support
the
alternative analysis the author provides.

Chapter three explores in depth different types of A-bar movement such as
topicalization, left dislocation, wh-movement and relative clauses. The
major
claim the author argues in this chapter is that all these types of movement
involve a movement to a non L(lexically) related position.

Hello,

I'm doing some writing that explains traditional Arabic grammar to a
Western audience. As part of this, I'm trying to pick a single Arabic word
for the term "syntactic position". This is often used in traditional Arabic
grammar, such as (???? ???? ?? ??? ??? ????). The term I'm looking relates
to function, syntactic role, position or place. I'd like to choose one word
from the following three:

1. ???
2. ???? e.g. "mawqi' al-mubtada"
3. ???? e.g. "mawdi' fi al-kamal"

I've noticed that in traditional analysis, the word "mahal" is used a lot,
e.g. "fee mahal nasb". But it appears that term is used only when another
word or phrase is occupying the position usually taken by another word. Are
the other two terms better?

My question in a nutshell is: What is the best word single to refer to the
concept of "syntactic position" in traditional Arabic grammar?

So far, I'm leaning towards using ????  for this term. Examples would be
the positions of subject and predicate in nominative sentences, and the
positions of verb, subject and object in verbal sentences

Call Deadline: 15-Aug-2013

Meeting Description:

The year 2013 marks the 400th anniversary of Leiden?s chair in Arabic
Language and Culture. To celebrate this memorable event, the Leiden
Institute for Area Studies and the Leiden University Centre for Linguistics
will convene a conference that will bring together Arabicists, Semiticists,
historians, and epigraphists to discuss original research on the pre- and
early history of Arabic.

Professor John Huehnergard (University of Texas, Austin) will deliver the
keynote address entitled ?Arabic in its Semitic Context.?

The rest of the congress details will be available (via the conference
website) late September 2013.

Call for Papers:

The papers presented at this congress will be published in a volume
commemorating this important anniversary. It is hoped that the 400th year
of Arabic at Leiden will mark an important contribution to our
understanding of Arabic in its earliest stages.

We invite submissions on all topics dealing with the relationship between
Arabic and other the Semitic and Afro-Asiatic languages. We especially
encourage interdisciplinary approaches that combine the fields of
linguistics/philology and history to shed light on problems such as the
distribution of Arabic epigraphy, the development of the Arabic script, the
language of the Qur?an, and the linguistic geography of pre-Islamic Arabic.
These topics should only be considered as general guidelines and are not
exhaustive. Any paper dealing with Arabic in its historical and linguistic
context will be considered.

We welcome abstracts for papers (not exceeding 2 pages) before 15 August
2013. Please do not forget to mention your institutional affiliation.

Successful applicants will be informed early September 2013.

Participants must register in order to take part in the conference. The
registration fee is 50 euro. Meals and drinks will be provided for on both
congress days.

Please submit your abstracts and any questions you may have to congress
