Subject:MLA Discussion of Applying Linguistics to Middle Eastern Language
Teaching

2014 MLA Annual Convention
9 to 12 January 2014, Chicago

*Second* Call for papers:

The General Linguistics Discussion Group of the Modern Language Association
invites your paper proposal showing linguistics applied for the teaching
and learning of a Middle-Eastern or Eastern Mediterranean language in North
America. While this call envisions proposals involving Arabic, Hebrew,
Persian, Turkish, or other language or dialect from the Middle East or
Western Asia, other languages or cultures are not excluded. Those
submitting proposals should be members of MLA.

*Deadline for proposals is March 15, 2013* - please submit your 250-word
proposal electronically to Terrence Potter (tmp28 at georgetown.edu)

**This is intentionally a general call to permit proposals from different
languages on a broad array of teaching/learning topics where linguistics is
used. This might include: teaching/learning of literature through discourse
analysis; teaching/learning of grammatical case by native speakers of
English; support for the improvement of pronunciation; vocabulary learning
research and tools; the incorporation of discrete elements of cultural
information in the syllabus; teaching/learning translation; syllabus and
curriculum development for less commonly taught languages, etc. Thank you
for making our languages, cultures and hard work visible in a national
forum dedicated to the teaching, learning and research in modern languages.

Thank you for sharing this call for papers with graduate students, teaching
and research faculty.

Subject:one letter words

In a previous submission I wrote that the general principle is that a
letter cannot be a word in Arabic. While this is still generally speaking
true, there are instances of one-letter words. This is mainly found in the
imperative of certain verbs. For instance, the imperative of the verb وفي
(wafaa = to live up to) is فِ (fi). Arab grammarians call these kinds of
verbs اللفيف المفروق. The imperative of the verb  أتى ('ataa = to come) is
تِ (ti) Arab grammarians call these kinds of verbs المهموز الناقص. The
imperative of the verb رأى (ra'aa = to see) is رَ (ra). Arab grammarians
call these kinds of verbs الفعل المهموز العين والناقص.
Notwithstanding the above, the conjunction of coordination "waaw"
morphologically speaking is definitely not a word and should be attached to
whatever follows.

Subject:Discourses of the Arab Spring

New book on the Discourses of the Arab Spring
Title: 'Rhetoric of Liberation: The discursive battles in the era of
revolution'(بلاغة الحرية: معارك الخطاب السياسي في زمن الثورة).
Author: Dr. Emad Abdul-latif (Cairo University)
Publisher: al-Tanweer (Beirut, Cairo and Tunisia).
Language: Arabic
Link:
http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/18/62/64249/Books/Review/Rhetoric-of-Freedom-wins-Cairo-International-Book-.aspx

In this book, Dr. Abdul-Latif analyzes the three most powerful discourses
that emerged during the Arab Spring: the discourse of squares; the
discourse of screens and the discourse of (election) boxes. He analyzes
some of the most influential texts, speech and images in Egypt’s public
sphere. This data includes speeches by President Hosni Mubarak, Field
Marshall Hussein Tantawy and President Mohamed Morsi as well as protestors'
leaflets, slogans, graffiti, songs and caricatures.

The book also tackles Egyptian state television’s coverage of the uprising
during the transitional period and devotes particular attention to how
government-owned media led the anti-revolutionary discourse. In addition,
'Rhetoric of Liberation' studies in detail the persuasive arguments
employed by campaigners in the parliamentary and presidential Egyptian
elections. The author analyzes in detail the discourses of the Islamists
campaigns that defeated their rivals in these elections.

The book won the prize for best Arab book in Social Sciences from the
Egyptian Ministry of Culture in the Cairo International Book Fair, January
2013.

الأساتذة الكرام           حفظكم الله
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته،،،

في الحقيقة أنا طالب دكتوراة في جامعة بانجور في بريطانيا والأن أنا أجمع
النصوص المترجمة وأقوم بتجزأتها إلى جملة مقابل جملة ثم لدي برنامج يقوم بوضع
كل جملة في ملف فيكون لدي مجموعة ملفات من العربي ومجموعة من الإنجليزي بعد
ذلك نقوم بأستخدام عدة معادلات إحصائية لمعرفة ما هي الطريقة الافضل من ناحية
أقل اخطاء من الامثلة على المعادلاة (PPM-Prediction by Partial Matching)
تجد شرح مفصل في الرابط الأسفل
http://compressions.sourceforge.net/PPM.html
وتجد في المرفق مثال على أحد النصوص المترجمة بعد تجزئته،
أما بالنسبة للنصوص فأنا اقوم بتصنيفها كالتالي:
1. News:
             News_0000001_ar.txt
             News_0000001_en.txt
             News_0000002_ar.txt
             News_0000002_en.txt
             ....
             ...
2. Economy.
3. Politics.
4. Religion.
5. Stories.
6. Sports.

بخصوص كمية النصوص فأنا احتاج إلى كمية كبيرة لأنه كلما كبرة الكمية كان أفضل
للتصحيح و أكثر دقة و جودة.
فأرجو منك مساعدتي بما لديكم من نصوص مترجمة سواءاً مقالات أو قصص أو كتب أو
أخبار أي ترجمة لديكم (أحتاج للنص العربي وترجمته بالأنجليزي أو العكس).
أتطلع لردكم.
 لكم منا كل الشكر والتقدير،،،،

وفقكم الله.
تحياتي
سعد القحطاني

Subject:American ME Institute's Summer program in Amman

Good Morning,
My name is Kayla Elias, and I am an intern for the American Middle East
Institute's Summer Language Institute.    We are looking for motivated
students who are interested in participating in a program this summer
through our institute to the beautiful country of Oman.  The program is
worth 4 college credits and is 6 weeks long.

Our program is the only true exchange program available as of now.  The
Omani Ministry of Education and Ministry of Higher Education sends us 15
Omani students. We spend three weeks at Washington and Jefferson College in
Pennsylvania with the 15 American and 15 Omani students.  We show them what
daily life in America is like, and participate in daily outings and
cultural activities, then after three weeks, they take us back to Oman and
we get to experience the typical life of an Omani.

Each American student is paired with an Omani student of the same age and
gender.  They room together and become language partners.  The Omanis are
learning English, while the Americans learn Arabic.  All students must
abide by a strict language pact for the entire duration of the program.

We do offer scholarships!

Below is our website as well as the email of the Director of Operations,
Maria Hastings.
I have also attached our flyer and the 2013 Program Application.

Any promotion of our program among your students would be tremendously
appreciated.

Please feel free to contact me, or have your students contact me with any
questions or concerns.

Subject:standalone wa- speculations

I followed the recent exchanges about the 'attached-detached-waw' debate
with interest and really enjoyed your expansive response and the related
research. While I (being originally from Morocco) personally never thought
of any other way to place the conjunctive 'waw' except as a stand-alone
particle, I was amused, as were you, by the result in your data showing
Morocco --and perhaps other NA neighbors-- aligned with Syria in the
stand-alone placement of this 'waw'.

After some reflection I came up with a possible theory/explanation of this
"unexpected" finding of yours, based on some strong historical facts and
decided that there should be be a historical-linguistic explanation linking
Syria and Morocco. This was indeed the result of the several centuries when
"Omayyad Syria" (i.e., Damascus) ruled "Ifriqqiya" and al-Andalus with
mixed leaderships (Musa Ibn Nusayr politically and Tariq Ibn
Ziyyad militarily). Since the Islamization process of Morocco occurred
through the Omayyad, obviously basic literacy, letters, books or any
other documents had to be written in the standard "practice" of Damascus.
Ever since the "free waw" must have been kept alive all these centuries
both in Damascus and on Mount Musa (Rif Mountains of Northern Morocco
only a few miles across from Tarifa Spain/Al-andalus).

What do you think? Hope this helps explain your statistical findings!

Subject:Needs students for survey research

Dear Arabic Instructors,

I am currently a PhD student at the University of Hawaii and I am
conducting a survey study on second language learner motivation. The
information I collect will be used to examine what motivational factors
lead people to choose to study certain languages. It is my hope that this
information can be used by teachers and program developers in the future
and will provide benefits to all stakeholders in the language learning
process.

 As part of this study, I am trying to recruit students studying various
languages in the U.S  (both commonly and less commonly taught languages) to
take an online survey. I was wondering if any of you would be willing to
send out a message to your students via course websites (found below)
explaining the study and providing a link to the survey. If you would be
willing to do this, it would be a tremendous help as I am trying to get
information from all over the U.S. at the moment and I need a rather
sizable number of participants. If willing, please let me know so that I
can keep track of what language groups are being directed to this survey.

Best,
Justin Cubilo

***********************************************************

Student Message:

Hello Students!

I am a Ph.D. student in the department of Second Language Studies at the
University of Hawaii and I am conducting a study on language learner
motivation investigating how certain motivational factors contribute to
students' choices for studying specific languages. In order to do this, I
am seeking participants willing to complete a brief survey (it should take
15 - 20 minutes to do so). While I cannot offer you money for completing
this survey, the survey does provide you with some indirect benefits as it
will help language program developers and teachers to better understand
what motivates you to study certain languages. In addition, since I am
looking for such a large number of participants, you will receive the
utmost gratitude from me for doing this. If you are interested in
participating in this study, please click on the following link to find an
online version of the survey:

Thank you very much and I hope very much that you will help me in
participating!

Subject:New LDC corpora

 (1) GALE Phase 2 Arabic Broadcast Conversation Speech Part 1 was developed
by LDC and is comprised of approximately 123 hours of Arabic broadcast
conversation speech collected in 2006 and 2007 by LDC as part of the DARPA
GALE (Global Autonomous Language Exploitation) Program. Broadcast audio for
the DARPA GALE program was collected at LDC’s Philadelphia, PA USA
facilities and at three remote collection sites. The combined local and
outsourced broadcast collection supported GALE at a rate of approximately
300 hours per week of programming from more than 50 broadcast sources for a
total of over 30,000 hours of collected broadcast audio over the life of
the program.
LDC's local broadcast collection system is highly automated, easily
extensible and robust and capable of collecting, processing and evaluating
hundreds of hours of content from several dozen sources per day. The
broadcast material is served to the system by a set of free-to-air (FTA)
satellite receivers, commercial direct satellite systems (DSS) such as
DirecTV, direct broadcast satellite (DBS) receivers, and cable television
(CATV) feeds. The mapping between receivers and recorders is dynamic and
modular; all signal routing is performed under computer control, using a
256x64 A/V matrix switch. Programs are recorded in a high bandwidth A/V
format and are then processed to extract audio, to generate keyframes and
compressed audio/video, to produce time-synchronized closed captions (in
the case of North American English) and to generate automatic speech
recognition (ASR) output.
The broadcast conversation recordings in this release feature interviews,
call-in programs and round table discussions focusing principally on
current events from several sources. This release contains 143 audio files
presented in .wav, 16000 Hz single-channel 16-bit PCM. Each file was
audited by a native Arabic speaker following Audit Procedure Specification
Version 2.0 which is included in this release. The broadcast auditing
process served three principal goals: as a check on the operation of LDCs
broadcast collection system equipment by identifying failed, incomplete or
faulty recordings; as an indicator of broadcast schedule changes by
identifying instances when the incorrect program was recorded; and as a
guide for data selection by retaining information about a program's genre,
data type and topic.

*
(2) GALE Phase 2 Arabic Broadcast Conversation Transcripts - Part 1 was
developed by LDC and contains transcriptions of approximately 123 hours of
Arabic broadcast conversation speech collected in 2006 and 2007 by LDC,
MediaNet, Tunis, Tunisia and MTC, Rabat, Morocco during Phase 2 of the
DARPA GALE (Global Autonomous Language Exploitation) program. The source
broadcast conversation recordings feature interviews, call-in programs and
round table discussions focusing principally on current events from several
sources.
The transcript files are in plain-text, tab-delimited format (TDF) with
UTF-8 encoding, and the transcribed data totals 752,747 tokens. The
transcripts were created with the LDC-developed transcription tool, XTrans,
a multi-platform, multilingual, multi-channel transcription tool that
supports manual transcription and annotation of audio recordings.
The files in this corpus were transcribed by LDC staff and/or by
transcription vendors under contract to LDC. Transcribers followed LDCs
quick transcription guidelines (QTR) and quick rich transcription
specification (QRTR) both of which are included in the documentation with
this release. QTR transcription consists of quick (near-)verbatim,
time-aligned transcripts plus speaker identification with minimal
additional mark-up. It does not include sentence unit annotation. QRTR
annotation adds structural information such as topic boundaries and manual
sentence unit annotation to the core components of a quick transcript.
Files with QTR as part of the filename were developed using QTR
transcription. Files with QRTR in the filename indicate QRTR transcription.

Subject:Weekly Arabic news digest available

Hi all,

I am currently working with the DC-based NGO Project on Middle East
Democracy (POMED), a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to
examining how genuine democracies can develop in the Middle East and how
the U.S. can best support that process. As part of my work with POMED, I
help put together a weekly Arabic digest, a collection of U.S. statements
and legislation, news regarding the U.S. from Arabic sources, and
editorials from around the Arab World.

I also create the Egypt Daily Update, an email roundup of news stories on
democracy and human rights in Egypt that is sent to more than 1,200
policymakers, academics, journalists and activists in the U.S. and around
the world. Please feel free to browse last week's edition of the Arabic
Wire (below) and sign up to receive
it<

(as
well as any/all of our other publications), or forward it to friends,
colleagues, students, etc. Thank you.

*تصريحات من الحكومة الأمريكية*


سياسة الولايات المتحدة حول الربيع العربي

قالت فيكتوريا نولاند، المتحدثة باسم الخارجية الأمريكية، أن جون كيري تحدّث
عن "التحديات التي نواجهها" ضمن تأكيداته وفي أول مؤتمر صحفي له مع وزير
خارجية كندا جون بيرد، "فيما يتعلَّق بالتحديات الخاصة بالديمقراطيات الجديدة،
الهَشَّة، تأتي تلك التحديات من المُتطرِّفين الساعين للسطو على بعض ثورات
الربيع العربي"، وأضافت "وأعتقد أنه ملتزم إلى حد كبير بالوصول لمحادثات
مُرضية مع الحلفاء الأوروبيِّين والشركاء، أيضاً مع شركاء الشرق الأوسط بشأن
منهجيّة التعامل مع قضايا معقدة بدايةً من ليبيا وتونس ومصر وسوريا والتحدي
الأكبر إيران، لذا أعتقد أنكم ستسمعون عن تلك الموضوعات بداية من هذه الرحلة".

ويقوم كيري بزيارة انجلترا، ألمانيا، فرنسا، إيطاليا، تركيا، مصر، السعودية،
الإمارات وقطر فى الفترة  من 24 فبراير وحتى 6 مارس.

فيما يلي مُقتطفاً من خطاب كيري في جامعة
فيرجينيا<
http://pomed.us2.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=8a185f96ecfeb10569f5120d0&id=fdc5be5315&e=b2e6b989c3
>:
" في دول شمال أفريقيا والشرق الأوسط، غالبية الشعب أصغر من 30 عام، فنسبة 60%
من الشعب تحت سن الثلاثين، 50% تحت سن 21، 40% تحت 18 عام ونصف المجموع الكلّي
دون العشرين، أوتعلمون؟ إنهم يطمحون إلى  نفس الفرص التي تسعون إليها. لدينا
تطلُّع لمساعدة هؤلاء الشباب على تنمية مهاراتهم التي سيحتاجونها للتغلُّب على
البطالة الجماعية التي سادت مجتمعاتهم والتي تمثِّل بداية حقيقية لمشاركتهم في
المجتمع وإعادة بناء اقتصادياتهم المُتقلِّبة بدلاً من إنخراطهم في نشاطات
أخرى إرهابية أو متطرِّفة. فلأول مرة في تاريخ البشرية، شباب من جميع أنحاء
العالم يتصرّفون كجماعة عالمية، بما في ذلك العديد ممن في هذه الغرفة، إنهم
أكثر إنفتاحاً وأكثر كفاءة مع التكنولوجيا التي تُبقيهم على تواصل بطريقة لم
يفعلها أي جيل آخر في أي وقت مضى من التاريخ، علينا أن نساعدهم ونساعد أنفسنا
لاستخدام تلك الشبكة بطريقة إيجابية.

 تعليق صناع السياسة الأمريكية على الأزمة السياسية التونسية

في تصريح<
http://pomed.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8a185f96ecfeb10569f5120d0&id=6523365a9d&e=b2e6b989c3
>للسيناتور
بوب كوركر - ثاني أقدم أعضاء حزب الجمهوريين على مقعد المعارضة،
ومسئول لجنة العلاقات الخارجية بمجلس الشيوخ الأمريكي- أثناء زيارته لتونس هذا
الأسبوع، قال: "إن الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية تدعم بقوة الشعب التونسي
ورغبتهم في تشكيل دولة دستورية مبنية على أسس الديمقراطية والحرية السياسية
والدينية التي تتشاركها البلدين، ربما تكون الديمقراطية هشّة خصوصاً عند بداية
إرسائها، وأن الأحداث الأخيرة في تونس بها فيها اغتيال شكري بلعيد واستقالة
رئيس الوزراء يُؤسف لها".

" يتطلّب بناء الديمقراطية بعض الوقت والاهتمام، وقادة أذكياء ملتزمين بقيم
الحرية وحقوق الإنسان، أقوياء ولا يترددوا فى التعهُّد بالحفاظ على السلميّة
والنظام في وقت الأزمات وكذلك الالتزام بالانتقال السلمي للسُلطة. يتَّضِح لي
أن كثيراً من أولئك الذين التقيتُ بهم بالفعل مُلتزمون بهذه الأفكار، وأنا
متفائل جداً بأن تونس قادرة على تجاوُز الوضع الحالي بسلميّة والانتهاء من
المُسوّدات لإتمام الدستور وإجراء انتخابات حرة وعادِلة خلال السنة القادمة".

>للسيناتور
جون ماكين كتب: "رئيس الوزراء التونسي حمادي الجبالي هو رجل وقائد
صالِح واستقالته كانت خسارة لبلده، إنني آمل أن يستمر في خدمة #تونس".


وعن مصر

رداً على الإعلان عن الانتخابات البرلمانية المصرية، صرّحت وزارة الخارجية:
"نحن نشجع الحكومة المصرية لإجراء الانتخابات البرلمانية القادمة بطريقة شفافة
عادلة وحرة. وهذا يشمل السماح لمؤسسات محلّية وعالمية بمراقبة العملية
الانتخابية تماشياً مع المعايير المتبعة. إن للشعب المصري كل الحق في
توقّعاتهم بتطبيق أعلى المعايير الدولية في تلك الانتخابات المُزمَع خوضها،
وأن يكونوا متأكدين أن حكومتهم ستؤمِّن لهم بيئة آمنة، ونوّد أن ننتهِز هذه
الفرصة للإلحاح على المصريين بالذهاب للتصويت للتعبير عن أنفسهم عن طريق آلية
ديمقراطية وبصناديق الاقتراع".

وأضافت: "نريد للشعب المصري أن يحظى بالفرصة لاختيار ديمقراطي حقيقي بالشفافية
والحريّة والعدالة التي عملوا بجِد من أجلها لتتسنّى لهم هذه الفرصة".

وبخصوص حالة عدم الاستقرار السياسي في مصر،
قالت<
http://pomed.us2.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=8a185f96ecfeb10569f5120d0&id=328fde02ac&e=b2e6b989c3
>نولاند:
"حسناً، إنكم تعلمون الملاحظات التي نشير إليها دائماً، لكننا تحدّثنا
عنها قليلاً الاسبوع الماضي، من حيث تطلُّعنا لوجود حوار واسع قد دعت إليه
الحكومة، أن كل أصحاب المصلحة في مصر سوف يجتمعون لمحاولة حل قضاياهم الخاصة
وشكاواهم بطريقة سلمية من خلال الحوار". وأضافت "ولكن في الوقت نفسه، لدينا
مخاوف كبيرة حول العنف الذي رأيناه في سياق الاحتجاجات، ولا سيما العنف الجنسي
ضد المرأة، والذي يعد أمراً غير مقبول تماماً في أي بلد، وأنا على يقين أن
كيري سيكون لديه الكثير ليقوله وأنه يريد الاستماع أكثر عندما يتواجد في
القاهرة خلال أسبوعين".

"وتشارك سفارتنا على نحو يومي برئاسة السفيرة باترسون، في محاولة لإجراء
محادثات مع جميع أصحاب المصالِح في مصر وتشجيعهم على العمل مع بعضهم البعض،
وسواء كنا بصدد الحديث عن مصر أو أي دولة أخرى على الأرض، بصراحة، فإننا ندعم
التظاهُر السِلمي كأحد وسائل المواطنين للتعبير عن أنفسهم تجاه حكوماتهم، لكن
الاحتجاجات يجب أن تكون سلمية وعلى الحكومة أن يتحلى ردها بالسلمية وضبط
االنفس".

وردّاً على سؤال حول قدرة "مرسي" لوقف العنف في مصر، قالت نولاند: "مجدّداً،
إننا نود أن نرى المصريين يعبِّرون عن شكاواهم بطريقة سلمية .. نريد أن نرى
إشراك الحكومة لأصحاب المصالِح من مختلف الانتماءات في مصر ليبدد الإحباط
والقلق، لأن هذا ما توقعه شعب مصر في البداية عندما خرجوا للشوارع في التحرير".

"أظن أننا كنا واضحين للغاية حول تطلّعاتِنا باسم الشعب المصري لرؤية الدولة
تتطوّر بديمقراطية وسلمية، و بشأن الاستماع باحترام لكل وجهات النظر وفقاً
للدستور وتحت سيادة القانون. ولكنّي ذكرتُ أن الوزير كيري سوف يتواجد هناك
خلال اسبوع ونصف وسوف تتسنّى له الفرصة للحديث مع الكثير من المصريين و أثِق
أنه سوف يكون لديه المزيد لقوله بنفسه في هذا الشأن".

Subject:standalone wa-

The conjunctions of coordination "waaw" and "fa'" as well as the
prepositions "li-" and "bi-" are not one-letter words and must be attached
to the following word. While there is no disagreement as to the way fa-, li
and bi- are written, it seems that this is not the case as far as waaw is
concerned.

The source of the difference of opinion, as far as I can tell, is that
waaw, unlike fa-, li- and bi-, is not connectable, i.e., not connected to
the following letter. Thus came the idea that it can be detached from the
following word. As evidence that the waaw can only be attached to the
following word is that I have never seen it standing alone at the end of a
line. Does the data presented earlier show a standalone waaw at the end of
a line?

Subject:standalone wa-

Good morning all,

I've also been following the 'waw' debate, and was equally surprised to see
that many people thought it was most often connected to another word. I've
never seen a waw used in any way *but* as a stand-alone article. I love
this connection you've made between the history of Syria and Morocco and
how the language has developed, thank you for the info!

Subject:standalone wa-

I just wanted to make it clear that the stats I presented a few days ago do
not imply that the Moroccan paper (or the Syrian paper) I looked at use the
standalone wa- more than they attach it to the following word.  That is
emphatically not the case.  Everyone attaches more than they put a space
after it.  The statistics were meant to show only that the Moroccan and
Syrian papers used the standalone wa- at a (much) higher rate than papers
in other Arabic speaking countries.

One interesting thing that I noticed anecdotally (I haven't done a study on
this so it might not be true) is that stand-alone wa- is quite common in
section headings, like:

العرب و العالم
and the like.  This is true for Al-Tajdid in Morocco, which uses a lot of
standalone wa-, but also for Al-Arab Al-Yawm in Jordan, which otherwise
uses almost none.

http://www.alarabalyawm.net/Public_News/NewsDetails.aspx?NewsID=69275&Lang=1&Site_ID=2&HomePageID=403124

If anyone wants to get an idea of the relative frequency of this in
Al-Tajdid, click on the following URLs and then search (command-f on a mac)
for spacebar waaw spacebar, and the standalone wa-s will be highlighted.
 Then hit command-f again and this time type just spacebar waaw and you
will see all the other attached wa-s.

http://www.attajdid.ma/index.php?info=4851

(this one has quite a few standalones if you scroll down to the bottom of
the article)

Subject:Journalistic Discourse Analysis Webinar from Saudi Linguistic
Society

Dear All,

Saudi Linguistic Society (SAL) is happy to announce its third webinar
entitled "Journalistic Discourse Analysis: Theoretical Model from Ideology
to Texts in the Example of Freedom of Expression in Egypt" By Dr. Ebtissam
Al Moshtohry. Attending the webinar is free and it will be on March 22 at
10.00 AM (KSA time Zone).However, places are limited. For more info and
registration, please see http://www.salsoc.com/home/sal-events-current/


*ABSTRACT:*

*

Recent contributions in Discourse Analysis and Textual Linguistics have
shone in excellent delineation of the relationship between text and
discourse in understanding their complexity and their complementarity. In
this regard, the current research is particularly interested in three
different orientations: 1. the General Theory of Text (Adam, 1990)
developed as part of the French School since 1990 and modified by myself in
2007; 2. the notion of Ideology as it has recently been defined by the
Anglo-Saxon School by adding our own perception; 3. the notions of
journalistic value and angle of view taken from Communication Sciences and
introduced for the first time in the fields of Discourse Analysis and
Textual Linguistics.The present research bases on a contrastive analysis of
the political news in both Arabic and French language newspapers in Egypt,
from 2000 to 2002, both in form and in content. Our work consists, thus, of
honing in on the most subtle linguistic clues in the texts of our corpus in
order not only to demonstrate the presence versus absence of constraints
but also to reveal the ideology dominant in each newspaper and to unravel
the reality concerning freedom of expression in Egypt.

Subject:The Waheed Samy Award for Excellence in Arabic Writing

To all Arabic teachers: Please share this announcement with your colleagues
and advanced-level students.
************************************************************
*****************************

The American University in Cairo (AUC) and the Center for Arabic Study
Abroad (CASA) are happy to announce the launch of The Waheed Samy Award for
Excellence in Arabic Writing for advanced learners of Arabic.
This award is established in honor of Dr. Waheed Samy who was member of the
Arabic faculty at the University of Michigan, the CASA program, and the
Arabic Language Institute at AUC. During his teaching tenure at these
institutions, Dr. Samy devoted much of his time and energy to teaching
writing and he authored Arabic Writing for Style: al-kitaba wa-l-uslub
(1999) as a resource for prospective writers of Arabic. Dr. Samy passed
away unexpectedly in February 2011 causing the field of Arabic to lose a
teacher of great talents and remarkable commitment and devotion. It is our
hope that this award will help commemorate Dr. Samy's memory and enhance
the position of writing as a main ingredient of Arabic learning.
The award will be presented annually to a student of Arabic as a
Foreign/Second Language who has distinguished herself/himself in the area
of writing. Competition for the award will be open to students in Arabic
programs in the US and abroad. Recipient of the award will receive $1,000
dollars and a commemorative plaque in recognition of their outstanding
achievement in Arabic writing.
We invite all students of Arabic at the higher levels of proficiency to
apply and we call upon teachers of Arabic worldwide to encourage their
students to apply.

A reminder for language students that the UW-Madison Arabic, Persian, and
Turkish Language Immersion Institute (APTLII) is still accepting
applications for Summer 2013, which will run from June 15 to August 10.
APTLII is an eight-week intensive summer language immersion program for
undergraduates, graduate students, and professionals. Outside of the

their shared living space on campus, at meals, and at co-curricular
activities that combine to create a language immersion experience.

Courses are offered at levels ranging from Beginner to Advanced (depending
on sufficient enrollment), and provide two semesters of academic credit.
Instruction is given in small groups taught by native speakers and
experienced language teachers. The classes are intensive, involving a
minimum of 4.5 hours contact hours daily Monday through Friday, with a
packed schedule of afternoon and evening activities and workshops. The
total charge is $7,000 including tuition, housing, and meals.

For more information about APTLII, including student newsletters from past
summers and the current application, visit our website at

Subject:standalone wa- speculations

I wonder (and I don't know enough history here, so I really am wondering
and following the discussion on this list with interest) if this possible
explanation proposed by Dr. Abbassi depends on the assumption that the
Umayyad dynasty was heavily centralized. Surely expansion of empire does
not occur from the center directly to the margins, though the (heavily
centralized) Ottoman empire's relationship with Iraq (and the 'wild
frontier lands') shows how empire can 'pull the margins inward' so to
speak. Hence we see the strong influence of Turkish in modern-day Iraqi
colloquial Arabic.

I have been thinking that we could learn much about the orthographic
conventions by observing spoken conventions, specifically from the point of
view of speech act theory. Is it at all significant that 'wa' is a particle
easily and readily picked up by non-native learners of Arabic? Does it mean
anything that (in my experience) a native Arabic speaker might attenuate
the 'wa' particle in speaking (i.e. 'waaaaaaaa...'), as they speak?
Sometimes it is clear that the speaker is attenuating the 'wa' particle as
a way to hold the (speaking) floor, while at other times it seems that the
interlocutor takes an attenuated 'wa' as an opportunity to interject.

I cannot recall ever hearing someone do the same with other particles (as
in 'liiiiiiiii...' or 'biiiiiii...'), but that may be the fault of
selective memory. If there is indeed a difference, then what are the many
linguistic functions of 'wa'? It is clearly not just to mean 'and' --
though the difference may relate, in the end, more to the phonetic
qualities of the sounds involved ('w,' 'a,' 'l,'i,'  & 'b') than to the
linguistic functions of the whole particle. It may also be that the
phonology influences the morphology and other linguistic characteristics of
the particle.

Likewise, the functions of 'wa' in speech may influence whether people
write it as attached or as stand-alone. An example of the margins
influencing the center or of the center directly affecting the margins?

Subject:AUC Intensive Summer Program

--
The American University in Cairo invites students of all levels of Arabic
to participate in the 2013 Arabic Language Intensive Summer Program (ALIS).
The program, with its professional faculty and up-to-date facilities is
seven weeks long, running from June 9th to July 25th.  Full-time students
take up to  20 hours of class per week (6-8 transferable credit hours,
depending on their level). A number of electives are also offered. Students
may take one or two, depending on their level. These academic courses are
supplemented by extracurricular non-credit activities: calligraphy, music,
singing, dancing, etc. As an added bonus, Egyptian language partners are
available to chat with students in small groups or on a one-on-one basis.
This provides students with an opportunity to use Arabic in a relaxed
atmosphere and affords them additional cultural insights.

Over the course of the summer, students may enrich their cultural
experience by participating in the three optional week-end trips the
institute organizes to sites of interest. Recent destinations have included
Alexandria and Hurgada.  These trips are for three to four nights each.
There are also free weekly tours of historical and cultural sites in Cairo.

For more information, application procedures and costs:

*Testimonials From Previous Participants*

"*I can say this is the best course I have ever taken in educational
technology. It is so straightforward that any teacher with the minimum
technological qualifications can follow, understand, and practice all the
beautiful tools I have learned. I will take it all back to my school and
share it with my colleagues and make a difference in our students’ lives.**"
*  - Al Sadiq, Arabic Instructor

"*Thank you for setting up such a course and thank you to all the
lecturers. I learned a lot about using technology. It was great to know
about most of the websites and how to use them. I think the most efficient
part of this course was assignments. I learned from assignments a lot.**" *
- Emre, Turkish Instructor

"*This workshop was a very meaningful experience for me, both
professionally and personally. I felt connected, engaged, and intrigued
throughout. It was a wonderful combination of transformational learning and
access to specific, highly useful strategies that I will use in my teaching.
**"** *- Shahla, Persian Instructor

"*I learned a lot from the workshop, including all available online
resources, how to incorporate technology into language class, how to use
technological tools to assess students' learning, how to engage students in
a diverse ways. The learning experience was really practical, useful,
intellectual and hands-on. The online lectures with Youtube demonstration
equipped me with solid theory and good practice. Homework feedback and
grades encourages me to continue to do well. Highly Recommended!**"** *-

Subject:Assessment of Learning Objectives Query

Dear teachers of Arabic

I would like to know how you assess the extent to which each student
reaches the Intended Learning Objectives of each of your courses.
Most of us if not all use different methods to assess their students:
quizzes, homework, presentations, exams, essays, etc etc. but how do we
know whether or not each individual student has reached the objectives we
have stated in the syllabi or not? How can assessing ILO's be done?

best,

Subject:Formatting messages for Arabic-L

I'm sure many of you have been disappointed to see how your messages look
when they come from Arabic-L after you have spent a long time formatting
them to make them look good.  Here is the deal:

1) Arabic-L cannot post ANY attachments
2) ALL (or almost all) formatting is removed from messages before posting

This means that centering, tabs, bold, italic, will all be removed.

If you want to see how you message will look, paste it into a text only
program with no formatting (on a Mac, for example, you can open a textedit
window, change it to text only, and paste in your message).

If you want to manipulate the 'look' of your message, do it in the text
only program, using only returns and spaces.

If you are commenting on a previous message and want to include a piece of
that message, you need to overtly mark it (by hand) since the markings that
come across from your email program are almost always omitted or messed up
by the server here.

Finally, some seemingly innocuous looking messages are rejected repeatedly
by my server because they have forbidden 'hidden' characters.  I usually
try to send it with less and less of the original message until it accepts
it.  This has happened more than once recently, so if your message was
truncated, that is probably why.  Again, doing you message in a text only
program with no fancy extra codes will often take care of this problem,
unless you have some virus that is producing it.

Dear Arabic List,

Women’s Voices Now is a non-profit organization that seeks to empower
*all*women living in Muslim-majority societies by promoting their free
expression, thereby giving voice to the struggles for civil, economic,
political, and gender rights. We carry out our mandate by providing
internationally viewed platforms for film, art, writing, and social-media
technology.


In creating an online information clearinghouse for women’s rights
activists and supporters, going on global tours in Muslim-majority

Subject:Arabeya Arabic Langauge Institute Spring/Summer courses

 Hello, my name is James Latta and I am from the Arabeya Arabic
Language Institute, an Arabic language school located in Cairo. I just
thought I would let you know about our school, programs, and how we can
help your students in improving their Arabic proficiency.

  At Arabeya, we offer a wide range of courses for those wishing to
learn or improve their Arabic, whether it be in Modern Standard Arabic
or in Egyptian Colloquial Arabic. We have classes and courses for every
level in proficiency, as well as programs for specific areas of
interest, such as media, diplomacy, business communications, literature,
and calligraphy.

  We also offer online spoken Arabic classes via Skype with Northeastern
students as a practical part of their semester studies at University.

  Over the years, we have had the pleasure of hosting students from
Universities all over the world including Hunter, Northeastern, Boston,
Maryland, Harvard, and Cambridge as a part of Summer Study Abroad
Programs that was designed to introduce students to the language,
culture, and history of Egypt and also host students from the ROTC.

  There are a number of seasonal programs that we run throughout the
year with discount prices, ideal for strapped for cash university
students looking for options over the semester break. These courses are
intensive, enriching the student with a great wealth of knowledge for
minimal cost and time expenditure.

With spring in full bloom and summer not far off, now is the best time
to take advantage of our intensive and effective Spring and Summer
Programs for 2013.

words in FuSHa and Cairene.  I would be grateful if you could supply me
with the equivalents in your Arabic dialects if they differ.

فين أين
إزاي كيف
إشمعنى or   ليه    لماذا
أنهي أي

Also just to say that هل is not used in informal cairene, please let me
know if it is used in other dialects.

Many thanks,

Subject:standalone wa- speculations

Hi Afra,

Well! `wa' seems to be a hot topic here :). From purely syntactic
perspective, as far as I know, the conjunction 'wa' in Arabic and `and' in
English seem to receive quite attention (in syntax) whether this
conjunction should be adjoined/attached to the following conjunct or not.
An example is `ConjP' (approach) which is assumed in Minimalism framework.
"ConjP" (model) assumes that the first conjunct is the specifier, the
conjunction is the head, and the second conjunct is the complement. This
view is not adopted in other frameworks, as far as I know. People, to my
knowledge, argue for the REAL syntactic position of the conjunction `and'.
 So,
having problems with  what `wa' is and how it behaves linguistically in
Arabic seems to be not an issue that is found only in Arabic, but this
issue seems to be quite common in some languages including English.  And it
is not clear where it can be placed in syntax.

>I cannot recall ever hearing someone do the same with other particles (as

An argument seems to be against what you said above is that people
sometimes lengthen particles including li... a scenario for that is as
follows (This is a discourse.)
Ali- Do you want me to tell my mom to whom you gave the flower?
تبيني اعلم  امي لمين اعطيت الوردة؟
Ahmed: No do not tell her please!
لا لا تعلم الله يخليك
Ali: Mom, Mom, Ahmad gave a flower (liiiiiiiiii) DO you want me to
complete.... (liiii
امي ، امي أحمد أعطى الوردة ليييييييي  اكمل؟ ليييي

Sometimes, we lengthen the particle including "li" or "bi" if we forget and
we want to remember and then we can say "liiii (I forget) liiii"..



>Likewise, the functions of 'wa' in speech may influence whether people
> write it as attached or as stand-alone. An example of the margins
> influencing the center or of the center directly affecting the margins?


 How can you make sure that the reason for writing `wa' as attached or
stand-alon is because of its functions? I think one of the members in the
list mentioned that sometimes people type `wa' as a stand-alone because of
the typing purposes (typing machine, etc..), so it seems that investigating
written texts do not solve the problem and based on them seems to be not
linguistically realiable, I think.

>It is clearly not just to mean 'and' -- though the difference may relate,


Do you know what "linguistic" functions this conjunction may have?

Thanks

Subject:Needs Arabic Style Manuals

Hello all,

I am attempting to identify any Arabic style manuals (akin to the English
MLA or Chicago style manuals) or style conventions that are currently in
use for the citation of Arabic sources in Arabic works. What conventions
are currently in use for citing Arabic sources in an "Works Cited" page of
an Arabic-language workr?

On a similar note, how would you identify a "print" resource (that is,
"print" rather than "electronic")? We have been discussing the merits of
using (طباعة)  and (مطبوع) and would love to hear other suggestions.

Thanks very much for any suggestions!

Subject:Participants needed for Arabic study

Dear all,

My name is Assma Al Thowaini. I am a graduate student at the Second
Language Acquisition program at the University of Maryland. Currently, I am
conducting a study to compare how native speakers and non-native Arabic
learners understand Arabic words.

If you decide to take part in this study, you would be sent a link where
you are asked to perform quick and simple decision tasks. The study will
not take longer than 30 minutes and you will be paid $7 upon completion.
You can complete the study remotely anywhere and anytime at your
convenience on a computer running Windows. I am looking for the following
criteria:

   - Advanced level of Arabic (non-native speaker)
   - Arabic experience/education of 4 years and above
   -  Age 18 and older

Your participation will be strictly confidential. I will not share your
identity or anything you provide with anyone.

Are you willing to participate?

If yes, please go to the following link to read and submit the following
form.

http://goo.gl/sHU9g

Once you submit the form, I will direct you to take a cloze test
(fill-in-the-blank task). The test will determine your Arabic level and
whether you are qualified for this study. You will receive immediate
feedback on your current Arabic proficiency level. Once you are qualified
based on your language level and background, I will email you the details
of the study.

If you have any questions or concerns about this study, feel free to
contact me at <ama2670 at gmail.com>

I greatly appreciate your help.

Sincerely,

Assma Al Thowaini

Dear colleagues,

There are several resources currently available to support elementary,
middle school, and high school (K-12) Arabic teachers, administrators,
researchers, and others with an interest in this quickly developing
field.

For example:

-- The Arabic K-12 Bulletin is a biweekly newsletter with information
about grants, web sites, resources, jobs, and other news of interest. It
is published by the National Capital Language Resource Center, and
current readership is more than 900 educators. To sign up, send an email
to arabick12 at gmail.com .

-- Teachers of Arabic Language K12 (TALK12) is an informal network for
teachers to connect, swap resouces, and see what's happening in each
other's classrooms. This group has been active since 2008. The link is
http://www.talk12.org .

-- There are regional Teachers Councils in Los Angeles, Chicago, DC, and
New England that support Arabic classroom teachers. These are funded by
Qatar Foundation International. I would be happy to put you in touch
with the facilitators of each group.

Thanks,

Steven

cultural learning and education; it is based in a 19th century Riad
(traditional Moroccan house located in a historical quarter of the city) in
the 17th century old medina of Rabat. CCCL premises have expanded as its
programs continue to attract several educational and cultural institutions
and schools to include two more buildings in and around the medina of
Rabat. CCCL offers several classrooms, conferences rooms, a cafeteria for
its participants only, a library of 4,200 books without counting the most
valuable and exclusive collection of our students' projects (over 700
projects).

CCCL organizes a variety of cultural and educational activities, which
include language courses, seminars, and lecture series on Moroccan society
and Arab and Islamic cultures. CCCL also sponsors art exhibits and musical
performances and organizes educational excursions to various parts of
Morocco both in urban and rural areas. The aim of these activities is to
provide participants with opportunities to learn from the rich cultural
diversity of Morocco and to better understand and appreciate the country's
cultural heritage. CCCL has 33 full time staff in addition to a long list
of part-time guest speakers, university lecturers, travel guides, host
families, instructors, and artists and music performers.

Hi Rasha!

These are the Hijazi Arabic equivalents (between parenthesis) for the
question words you listed:


 إيه  ماذا
(شنو)
مين من
(من)
إمتى متى
(متى)

فين أين
(وين)

>"Also just to say that هل is not used in informal cairene, please let me
> know if it is used in other dialects."

 To be honest, this is a difficult question whether this HAL  is used in
Hijazi Arabic or not. But my answer is that HAL is used in Hijazi Arabic
but not that common and not in every situations. The following is a
question where HAL is used by some Hijazi Arabic speakers

هل ترضاه لأخوك؟؟
Would you accept it (i.e. to be happened) to your brother?

So the question whether HAL is used or not seems to be not desirable..
Instead, the question that seems to be really good is HOW common HAL is
used and in which situational context?

Subject:Ibn Ghazi Arabic Institute in Fez

My name is Fouad Touzani and I am the director of Ibn Ghazi Arabic
Institute.  IGAI is a language, cultural and educational center located in
the historical and cultural capital of Morocco, Fez. Our summer intensive
program offers more than Arabic classes. Students at IGAI, who come from
various universities in the US and Europe, do not only enjoy learning
Arabic from native and very experienced professors (most of whom taught
Arabic in the US as Fulbright scholars) but they also have the opportunity
to:

·         Attend lectures on various issues related to the Arab and Muslim
World such as women’s rights in Islam, media in the Arab world and Islam in
the West, to name a few.

·         Take part in a variety of cultural activities and events which
allow students to get an authentic cultural experience.

·         Travel to many Moroccan cities and experience the rich and
diverse cultures and regions of Morocco.

·         Live in and explore the imperial city of Fez which remains the
biggest medieval city in the world and one of the few remaining ones.

·         Experience the wonderful beauty of the Moroccan craftsmanship
through visiting workshops and learning the basics.

I invite you to take a look at our website http://www.igai-fez.com for more
information. I also attached the brochure of the program. I will be very
grateful if you could forward the info to your students.

I will be happy to answer any question you or your students might have.

Warmest regards

Fouad

Subject:Etymolgy of zalameh query

I've been trying to find some more information on the word زلمة,
'man', present in quite a few modern Arabic dialects. There's
apparently an Aramaic zalamtha of the same meaning; but I haven't been
able to get past this. Qur'anic Arabic zlm 'to cut the loop of the
ear, to emaciate through hunger; arrows' obviously does not seem to be
related; nor Syriac zlm, 'to lead into error, to pervert, to be
inflected; deviated'. Is it possible that we are to imagine an
interchange between lamed and resh, and thus can see it as related to
Semitic words with initial zr-, like Akk. zaru 'begetter' and Hebrew
זרע 'offspring' - also meaning 'semen' (cf. Akk. zaraqu 'sprinkle
liquid', and Heb. זלח, of the same meaning)?

It has also been pointed out that, in some dialects, zalam[] has a
more specific meaning of 'pedestrian'; and it was proposed that, on
analogy with Ar. rajul (rjl 'to walk, to go by foot'), the original
meaning of zlm involves an "unknown person which came by foot," and
"[f]rom this appellation of a stranger the meaning 'man' is derived."
But this seems a bit of a stretch; plus I haven't been able to find
any other Semitic cognates with a meaning even remotely similar to
this.

Any help is appreciated!

Subject:Assessment Response

Salaam Meriem and all;

Assessment is a huge subject and it has reached and state of a science with
rules and practical processes. It is more complicated that to be addressed
in a short response. To have a general idea as a first step is to review
ACTFL 2012 guidelines. One would know approximately in which level of
proficiency to place a learner by finding out what that learner knows and
can do with the language. The process depends on the situation whether that
learner is an on-going student or one-time meeting for the purpose of
evaluation.

In your case, it is a continuum process of formative and summative
assessment with a big host of varieties in each. You may get a good idea
about the subject by reading Chapter 11 (pp.  394-448) of Shrum and
Glisan’s Teachers’ Handbook, 4th edition, Heinle 2010.  You may also check
ACTFL website for more published materials:

CALL FOR PAPERS
ARABIC IN CONTEXT

Arabic in Context
Congress at Leiden University, The Netherlands
2 & 3 November 2013
http://400yearsarabic.weebly.com/arabic-in-context.html

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 congress that will bring together Arabicists,
Semiticists, historians, and epigraphists to discuss original research
on the pre- and early history of Arabic.

The papers presented at this congress will be published in a volume
commemorating this 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.

Program
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 (also via this
website) late September 2013.

Submissions & Timeline
*       Submissions on all topics dealing with the relationship between
Arabic and other the Semitic and Afro-Asiatic languages are welcome. 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
15th 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 Euro 50. Meals and drinks will be
provided for on both congress days.
Details on how to register will be on available on this website soon.

Subject:etymology of zalameh

The Syriac etymology is probably correct, but the root is S (emphatic) - L
- M. The ultimate source is probably the word S(emphatic)alma (long final
a, the mark of status emphaticus). Payne Smith, Syriac English Dictionary,
p. 480, gives the following definitions:

a) image, figure, form; a picture
b) an image on a coin
c) an image, idol
d) astron. Salma Rabba, Sagittarius

Brockelmann, Lexicon Syriacum, p. 630, adds:

4. neos. vultus, facies (i.e., Neosyriac countenance, face)
5. persona (?) (i.e., person)

The last meaning is very close to the meaning of Arabic zalameh.
Brockelmann gives the source for the meaning "persona" as J. S. Assemanus,
Bibliotheca orientalis (Rom. 1719 - 28), 1:80, 81.

The shift from S (emphatic) to z occurs in other Syriac words.

Interestingly, the original meaning of Arabic shakhS is "a body, or bodily,
or corporeal form… seen from afar" (Lane, s.v). The same semantic
development from image to individual apparently took place in Syriac and
Arabic.

The meaning of the Hebrew cognate S(emphatic)elem is similar to the primary
meaning of the Syriac/Aramaic, "image, form." The Arabic cognate apparently
is S(emphatic) - N - M, giving Sanam, idol.

A.  Barthélemy, *Dictionnaire Arabe-Français*.  Paris  1936.  P.  318 (in
Fascicle 2) gives
the derivation as:  Bedouin "appearance, silouette, (shadow) of a person.
Also  /ṯalamu-/ for 'a person's shadow.  And Hebrew  /ṣelem/ for [French:
 'image; specter']"
     Maybe now you can provide me with the etymology of Qur'ān 112.2
 /ṣamad/.  Thanks,

Stewart,
I have wondered about it, too. It is 'zay' not 'za'-the velarized one that
you seem to connect to Syriac with a meaning similar to Arabic 'oppression.'

However, I think your observation of 'zalama' to walk makes total sense;
just as the root of 'rajul' means to walk.

My mind is at ease now. Thank you for pointing this out!

Subject:Webinar on Self-Efficacy in Language Learning

On behalf of the National Middle East Language Resource Center (NMELRC),
we invite you to participate in a webinar as part of Project Perseverance:

Self Efficacy in Foreign Language Learning

Dr. Nicole Mills, Harvard University

Friday, April 19, 12:00 pm Eastern Standard Time

This webinar will provide an overview of the construct of self-efficacy or
an individual’s beliefs in his/her ability to perform a designated task or
complete an activity, which is a strong predictor of future performance.
Bandura (1997) and a good deal of subsequent research suggest that
self-efficacy beliefs can influence one’s decisions, expended effort and
perseverance, resilience to adversity, thought processes, affective states,
and accomplishments. Evaluation of self-efficacy beliefs allow instructors
to better: understand their students' self-beliefs about language learning;
evaluate language program effectiveness; understand the complexity of
instructors' beliefs associated with language learning. This presentation
will provide an overview of the construct of self-efficacy in foreign
language education research, including the sources of self-efficacy, simple
strategies to guide self-efficacy research, and approaches to fostering
student and instructor self-efficacy beliefs. Specific research-based
examples will be provided with proposed adaptations based on the context,
challenges, and questions associated with the teaching of
less-commonly-taught languages.

Dr. Nicole Mills is coordinator of the Beginning French Language Program at
Harvard University and previous coordinator of beginning and intermediate
French at the University of Pennsylvania. At both institutions, she
developed curriculum grounded in second language acquisition research and
theory. She was the curriculum design specialist  for last year’s STARTALK
Persian Curriculum Design Workshop at George Washington University. She has
extensive publications in various academic journals and edited volumes on
various topics associated with curriculum design and foreign language
education, motivation, and engagement. She holds a Ph.D. in Educational
Studies and French from Emory University.

The format of the webinar will be a 60 minute live webcast followed by up
to 60 minutes of questions and answers with participants emailing in
questions and comments before and during the broadcast. This webinar will
be held at Brigham Young University and moderated by Dr. Kirk Belnap,
Director of NMELRC.

Subject:one letter words

In a previous submission I wrote that the general principle is that a
letter cannot be a word in Arabic. While this is still generally speaking
true, there are instances of one-letter words. This is mainly found in the
imperative of certain verbs. For instance, the imperative of the verb ???
(wafaa = to live up to) is ?? (fi). Arab grammarians call these kinds of
verbs ?????? ???????. The imperative of the verb  ??? ('ataa = to come) is
?? (ti) Arab grammarians call these kinds of verbs ??????? ??????. The
imperative of the verb ??? (ra'aa = to see) is ?? (ra). Arab grammarians
call these kinds of verbs ????? ??????? ????? ???????.
Notwithstanding the above, the conjunction of coordination "waaw"
morphologically speaking is definitely not a word and should be attached to
whatever follows.

Subject:Discourses of the Arab Spring

New book on the Discourses of the Arab Spring
Title: 'Rhetoric of Liberation: The discursive battles in the era of
revolution'(????? ??????: ????? ?????? ??????? ?? ??? ??????).
Author: Dr. Emad Abdul-latif (Cairo University)
Publisher: al-Tanweer (Beirut, Cairo and Tunisia).
Language: Arabic
Link:
http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/18/62/64249/Books/Review/Rhetoric-of-Freedom-wins-Cairo-International-Book-.aspx

In this book, Dr. Abdul-Latif analyzes the three most powerful discourses
that emerged during the Arab Spring: the discourse of squares; the
discourse of screens and the discourse of (election) boxes. He analyzes
some of the most influential texts, speech and images in Egypt?s public
sphere. This data includes speeches by President Hosni Mubarak, Field
Marshall Hussein Tantawy and President Mohamed Morsi as well as protestors'
leaflets, slogans, graffiti, songs and caricatures.

The book also tackles Egyptian state television?s coverage of the uprising
during the transitional period and devotes particular attention to how
government-owned media led the anti-revolutionary discourse. In addition,
'Rhetoric of Liberation' studies in detail the persuasive arguments
employed by campaigners in the parliamentary and presidential Egyptian
elections. The author analyzes in detail the discourses of the Islamists
campaigns that defeated their rivals in these elections.

The book won the prize for best Arab book in Social Sciences from the
Egyptian Ministry of Culture in the Cairo International Book Fair, January
2013.

Subject:American ME Institute's Summer program in Amman

Good Morning,
My name is Kayla Elias, and I am an intern for the American Middle East
Institute's Summer Language Institute.    We are looking for motivated
students who are interested in participating in a program this summer
through our institute to the beautiful country of Oman.  The program is
worth 4 college credits and is 6 weeks long.

Our program is the only true exchange program available as of now.  The
Omani Ministry of Education and Ministry of Higher Education sends us 15
Omani students. We spend three weeks at Washington and Jefferson College in
Pennsylvania with the 15 American and 15 Omani students.  We show them what
daily life in America is like, and participate in daily outings and
cultural activities, then after three weeks, they take us back to Oman and
we get to experience the typical life of an Omani.

Each American student is paired with an Omani student of the same age and
gender.  They room together and become language partners.  The Omanis are
learning English, while the Americans learn Arabic.  All students must
abide by a strict language pact for the entire duration of the program.

We do offer scholarships!

Below is our website as well as the email of the Director of Operations,
Maria Hastings.
I have also attached our flyer and the 2013 Program Application.

Any promotion of our program among your students would be tremendously
appreciated.

Please feel free to contact me, or have your students contact me with any
questions or concerns.

The National Capital Language Resource Center (NCLRC) is pleased to have
been awarded funding from the Qatar Foundation International (QFI) to
galvanize local networks for K-12 teachers of Arabic in the Washington DC,
Maryland, and Virginia region so that they will have the opportunity to
meet, network, share resources and ideas, assist schools that would like to
start new programs, and reach out to their communities to educate them
about Arabic language and culture and advocate for Arabic programs in the
schools. The NCLRC, in this capacity, acts as an initial organizer,
administrator, and facilitator for the development of this regional QFI
Arabic Teachers' Council.

We are grateful to the Northeast Conference on the Teaching of Foreign
Languages (NECTFL) committee for providing the NCLRC with the following
times on Saturday, March 9th for convening regional K-12 teachers of Arabic
to meet-and-greet and begin an ongoing discussion as a group to determine
their interests, needs, networking, and professional development activities:

(1) MD/VA/DC QFI Teachers' Council Meet-and-Greet: 12:00 - 2:00 PM (Dora's
Suite)
(2) Open session for general discussion: 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM (Dora's suite)

If you are a K-12 teacher of Arabic in a public school, Islamic school, or
heritage language program located in Maryland, Virginia, or Washington DC,
I would like to invite you to join this initiative, attend these networking
sessions at NECTFL (if you plan on attending the conference), and kindly
request that you please let your colleagues know about this opportunity to
be a part of this dynamic initiative.

Funding is still available for teachers of Arabic in Maryland, Virginia,
and Washington, DC to attend NECTFL. If you or others are interested,
please contact me using the information below.

We look forward to working with you and bringing together as many local
Arabic teachers as we can for this wonderful opportunity!

Thank you, and all the best,

Subject:standalone wa- speculations

I followed the recent exchanges about the 'attached-detached-waw' debate
with interest and really enjoyed your expansive response and the related
research. While I (being originally from Morocco) personally never thought
of any other way to place the conjunctive 'waw' except as a stand-alone
particle, I was amused, as were you, by the result in your data showing
Morocco --and perhaps other NA neighbors-- aligned with Syria in the
stand-alone placement of this 'waw'.

After some reflection I came up with a possible theory/explanation of this
"unexpected" finding of yours, based on some strong historical facts and
decided that there should be be a historical-linguistic explanation linking
Syria and Morocco. This was indeed the result of the several centuries when
"Omayyad Syria" (i.e., Damascus) ruled "Ifriqqiya" and al-Andalus with
mixed leaderships (Musa Ibn Nusayr politically and Tariq Ibn
Ziyyad militarily). Since the Islamization process of Morocco occurred
through the Omayyad, obviously basic literacy, letters, books or any
other documents had to be written in the standard "practice" of Damascus.
Ever since the "free waw" must have been kept alive all these centuries
both in Damascus and on Mount Musa (Rif Mountains of Northern Morocco
only a few miles across from Tarifa Spain/Al-andalus).

What do you think? Hope this helps explain your statistical findings!

Subject:Needs students for survey research

Dear Arabic Instructors,

I am currently a PhD student at the University of Hawaii and I am
conducting a survey study on second language learner motivation. The
information I collect will be used to examine what motivational factors
lead people to choose to study certain languages. It is my hope that this
information can be used by teachers and program developers in the future
and will provide benefits to all stakeholders in the language learning
process.

 As part of this study, I am trying to recruit students studying various
languages in the U.S  (both commonly and less commonly taught languages) to
take an online survey. I was wondering if any of you would be willing to
send out a message to your students via course websites (found below)
explaining the study and providing a link to the survey. If you would be
willing to do this, it would be a tremendous help as I am trying to get
information from all over the U.S. at the moment and I need a rather
sizable number of participants. If willing, please let me know so that I
can keep track of what language groups are being directed to this survey.

Best,
Justin Cubilo

***********************************************************

Student Message:

Hello Students!

I am a Ph.D. student in the department of Second Language Studies at the
University of Hawaii and I am conducting a study on language learner
motivation investigating how certain motivational factors contribute to
students' choices for studying specific languages. In order to do this, I
am seeking participants willing to complete a brief survey (it should take
15 - 20 minutes to do so). While I cannot offer you money for completing
this survey, the survey does provide you with some indirect benefits as it
will help language program developers and teachers to better understand
what motivates you to study certain languages. In addition, since I am
looking for such a large number of participants, you will receive the
utmost gratitude from me for doing this. If you are interested in
participating in this study, please click on the following link to find an
online version of the survey:

 languagemotivation.blogspot.com

Thank you very much and I hope very much that you will help me in
participating!

From:from Linguistic Data Consortium ldc at ldc.upenn.edu
Subject:New LDC corpora

 (1) GALE Phase 2 Arabic Broadcast Conversation Speech Part 1 was developed
by LDC and is comprised of approximately 123 hours of Arabic broadcast
conversation speech collected in 2006 and 2007 by LDC as part of the DARPA
GALE (Global Autonomous Language Exploitation) Program. Broadcast audio for
the DARPA GALE program was collected at LDC?s Philadelphia, PA USA
facilities and at three remote collection sites. The combined local and
outsourced broadcast collection supported GALE at a rate of approximately
300 hours per week of programming from more than 50 broadcast sources for a
total of over 30,000 hours of collected broadcast audio over the life of
the program.
LDC's local broadcast collection system is highly automated, easily
extensible and robust and capable of collecting, processing and evaluating
hundreds of hours of content from several dozen sources per day. The
broadcast material is served to the system by a set of free-to-air (FTA)
satellite receivers, commercial direct satellite systems (DSS) such as
DirecTV, direct broadcast satellite (DBS) receivers, and cable television
(CATV) feeds. The mapping between receivers and recorders is dynamic and
modular; all signal routing is performed under computer control, using a
256x64 A/V matrix switch. Programs are recorded in a high bandwidth A/V
format and are then processed to extract audio, to generate keyframes and
compressed audio/video, to produce time-synchronized closed captions (in
the case of North American English) and to generate automatic speech
recognition (ASR) output.
The broadcast conversation recordings in this release feature interviews,
call-in programs and round table discussions focusing principally on
current events from several sources. This release contains 143 audio files
presented in .wav, 16000 Hz single-channel 16-bit PCM. Each file was
audited by a native Arabic speaker following Audit Procedure Specification
Version 2.0 which is included in this release. The broadcast auditing
process served three principal goals: as a check on the operation of LDCs
broadcast collection system equipment by identifying failed, incomplete or
faulty recordings; as an indicator of broadcast schedule changes by
identifying instances when the incorrect program was recorded; and as a
guide for data selection by retaining information about a program's genre,
data type and topic.

*
(2) GALE Phase 2 Arabic Broadcast Conversation Transcripts - Part 1 was
developed by LDC and contains transcriptions of approximately 123 hours of
Arabic broadcast conversation speech collected in 2006 and 2007 by LDC,
MediaNet, Tunis, Tunisia and MTC, Rabat, Morocco during Phase 2 of the
DARPA GALE (Global Autonomous Language Exploitation) program. The source
broadcast conversation recordings feature interviews, call-in programs and
round table discussions focusing principally on current events from several
sources.
The transcript files are in plain-text, tab-delimited format (TDF) with
UTF-8 encoding, and the transcribed data totals 752,747 tokens. The
transcripts were created with the LDC-developed transcription tool, XTrans,
a multi-platform, multilingual, multi-channel transcription tool that
supports manual transcription and annotation of audio recordings.
The files in this corpus were transcribed by LDC staff and/or by
transcription vendors under contract to LDC. Transcribers followed LDCs
quick transcription guidelines (QTR) and quick rich transcription
specification (QRTR) both of which are included in the documentation with
this release. QTR transcription consists of quick (near-)verbatim,
time-aligned transcripts plus speaker identification with minimal
additional mark-up. It does not include sentence unit annotation. QRTR
annotation adds structural information such as topic boundaries and manual
sentence unit annotation to the core components of a quick transcript.
Files with QTR as part of the filename were developed using QTR
transcription. Files with QRTR in the filename indicate QRTR transcription.

Hi all,

I am currently working with the DC-based NGO Project on Middle East
Democracy (POMED), a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to
examining how genuine democracies can develop in the Middle East and how
the U.S. can best support that process. As part of my work with POMED, I
help put together a weekly Arabic digest, a collection of U.S. statements
and legislation, news regarding the U.S. from Arabic sources, and
editorials from around the Arab World.

I also create the Egypt Daily Update, an email roundup of news stories on
democracy and human rights in Egypt that is sent to more than 1,200
policymakers, academics, journalists and activists in the U.S. and around
the world. Please feel free to browse last week's edition of the Arabic
Wire (below) and sign up to receive
it<

well as any/all of our other publications), or forward it to friends,
colleagues, students, etc. Thank you.

Subject:standalone wa-

The conjunctions of coordination "waaw" and "fa'" as well as the
prepositions "li-" and "bi-" are not one-letter words and must be attached
to the following word. While there is no disagreement as to the way fa-, li
and bi- are written, it seems that this is not the case as far as waaw is
concerned.

The source of the difference of opinion, as far as I can tell, is that
waaw, unlike fa-, li- and bi-, is not connectable, i.e., not connected to
the following letter. Thus came the idea that it can be detached from the
following word. As evidence that the waaw can only be attached to the
following word is that I have never seen it standing alone at the end of a
line. Does the data presented earlier show a standalone waaw at the end of
a line?

Good morning all,

I've also been following the 'waw' debate, and was equally surprised to see
that many people thought it was most often connected to another word. I've
never seen a waw used in any way *but* as a stand-alone article. I love
this connection you've made between the history of Syria and Morocco and
how the language has developed, thank you for the info!

Subject:standalone wa-

I just wanted to make it clear that the stats I presented a few days ago do
not imply that the Moroccan paper (or the Syrian paper) I looked at use the
standalone wa- more than they attach it to the following word.  That is
emphatically not the case.  Everyone attaches more than they put a space
after it.  The statistics were meant to show only that the Moroccan and
Syrian papers used the standalone wa- at a (much) higher rate than papers
in other Arabic speaking countries.

One interesting thing that I noticed anecdotally (I haven't done a study on
this so it might not be true) is that stand-alone wa- is quite common in
section headings, like:

????? ? ??????
and the like.  This is true for Al-Tajdid in Morocco, which uses a lot of
standalone wa-, but also for Al-Arab Al-Yawm in Jordan, which otherwise
uses almost none.

http://www.alarabalyawm.net/Public_News/NewsDetails.aspx?NewsID=69275&Lang=1&Site_ID=2&HomePageID=403124

If anyone wants to get an idea of the relative frequency of this in
Al-Tajdid, click on the following URLs and then search (command-f on a mac)
for spacebar waaw spacebar, and the standalone wa-s will be highlighted.
 Then hit command-f again and this time type just spacebar waaw and you
will see all the other attached wa-s.

http://www.attajdid.ma/index.php?info=4851

(this one has quite a few standalones if you scroll down to the bottom of
the article)

Subject:Journalistic Discourse Analysis Webinar from Saudi Linguistic
Society

Dear All,

Saudi Linguistic Society (SAL) is happy to announce its third webinar
entitled "Journalistic Discourse Analysis: Theoretical Model from Ideology
to Texts in the Example of Freedom of Expression in Egypt" By Dr. Ebtissam
Al Moshtohry. Attending the webinar is free and it will be on March 22 at
10.00 AM (KSA time Zone).However, places are limited. For more info and
registration, please see http://www.salsoc.com/home/sal-events-current/


*ABSTRACT:*

*

Recent contributions in Discourse Analysis and Textual Linguistics have
shone in excellent delineation of the relationship between text and
discourse in understanding their complexity and their complementarity. In
this regard, the current research is particularly interested in three
different orientations: 1. the General Theory of Text (Adam, 1990)
developed as part of the French School since 1990 and modified by myself in
2007; 2. the notion of Ideology as it has recently been defined by the
Anglo-Saxon School by adding our own perception; 3. the notions of
journalistic value and angle of view taken from Communication Sciences and
introduced for the first time in the fields of Discourse Analysis and
Textual Linguistics.The present research bases on a contrastive analysis of
the political news in both Arabic and French language newspapers in Egypt,
from 2000 to 2002, both in form and in content. Our work consists, thus, of
honing in on the most subtle linguistic clues in the texts of our corpus in
order not only to demonstrate the presence versus absence of constraints
but also to reveal the ideology dominant in each newspaper and to unravel
the reality concerning freedom of expression in Egypt.

and advanced-level students.
************************************************************
*****************************

The American University in Cairo (AUC) and the Center for Arabic Study
Abroad (CASA) are happy to announce the launch of The Waheed Samy Award for
Excellence in Arabic Writing for advanced learners of Arabic.
This award is established in honor of Dr. Waheed Samy who was member of the
Arabic faculty at the University of Michigan, the CASA program, and the
Arabic Language Institute at AUC. During his teaching tenure at these
institutions, Dr. Samy devoted much of his time and energy to teaching
writing and he authored Arabic Writing for Style: al-kitaba wa-l-uslub
(1999) as a resource for prospective writers of Arabic. Dr. Samy passed
away unexpectedly in February 2011 causing the field of Arabic to lose a
teacher of great talents and remarkable commitment and devotion. It is our
hope that this award will help commemorate Dr. Samy's memory and enhance
the position of writing as a main ingredient of Arabic learning.
The award will be presented annually to a student of Arabic as a
Foreign/Second Language who has distinguished herself/himself in the area
of writing. Competition for the award will be open to students in Arabic
programs in the US and abroad. Recipient of the award will receive $1,000
dollars and a commemorative plaque in recognition of their outstanding
achievement in Arabic writing.

apply and we call upon teachers of Arabic worldwide to encourage their
students to apply.

A reminder for language students that the UW-Madison Arabic, Persian, and
Turkish Language Immersion Institute (APTLII) is still accepting
applications for Summer 2013, which will run from June 15 to August 10.
APTLII is an eight-week intensive summer language immersion program for
undergraduates, graduate students, and professionals. Outside of the
classroom, students commit to using their target language at all times - in
their shared living space on campus, at meals, and at co-curricular
activities that combine to create a language immersion experience.

Courses are offered at levels ranging from Beginner to Advanced (depending
on sufficient enrollment), and provide two semesters of academic credit.
Instruction is given in small groups taught by native speakers and
experienced language teachers. The classes are intensive, involving a
minimum of 4.5 hours contact hours daily Monday through Friday, with a
packed schedule of afternoon and evening activities and workshops. The
total charge is $7,000 including tuition, housing, and meals.

For more information about APTLII, including student newsletters from past
summers and the current application, visit our website at
http://aptlii.global.wisc.edu/

Apply before April 15 to avoid the $100 late fee!

Subject:standalone wa- speculations

I wonder (and I don't know enough history here, so I really am wondering
and following the discussion on this list with interest) if this possible
explanation proposed by Dr. Abbassi depends on the assumption that the
Umayyad dynasty was heavily centralized. Surely expansion of empire does
not occur from the center directly to the margins, though the (heavily
centralized) Ottoman empire's relationship with Iraq (and the 'wild
frontier lands') shows how empire can 'pull the margins inward' so to
speak. Hence we see the strong influence of Turkish in modern-day Iraqi
colloquial Arabic.

I have been thinking that we could learn much about the orthographic
conventions by observing spoken conventions, specifically from the point of
view of speech act theory. Is it at all significant that 'wa' is a particle
easily and readily picked up by non-native learners of Arabic? Does it mean
anything that (in my experience) a native Arabic speaker might attenuate
the 'wa' particle in speaking (i.e. 'waaaaaaaa...'), as they speak?
Sometimes it is clear that the speaker is attenuating the 'wa' particle as
a way to hold the (speaking) floor, while at other times it seems that the
interlocutor takes an attenuated 'wa' as an opportunity to interject.

I cannot recall ever hearing someone do the same with other particles (as
in 'liiiiiiiii...' or 'biiiiiii...'), but that may be the fault of
selective memory. If there is indeed a difference, then what are the many
linguistic functions of 'wa'? It is clearly not just to mean 'and' --
though the difference may relate, in the end, more to the phonetic
qualities of the sounds involved ('w,' 'a,' 'l,'i,'  & 'b') than to the
linguistic functions of the whole particle. It may also be that the
phonology influences the morphology and other linguistic characteristics of
the particle.

Likewise, the functions of 'wa' in speech may influence whether people
write it as attached or as stand-alone. An example of the margins
influencing the center or of the center directly affecting the margins?

The American University in Cairo invites students of all levels of Arabic
to participate in the 2013 Arabic Language Intensive Summer Program (ALIS).
The program, with its professional faculty and up-to-date facilities is
seven weeks long, running from June 9th to July 25th.  Full-time students
take up to  20 hours of class per week (6-8 transferable credit hours,
depending on their level). A number of electives are also offered. Students
may take one or two, depending on their level. These academic courses are
supplemented by extracurricular non-credit activities: calligraphy, music,
singing, dancing, etc. As an added bonus, Egyptian language partners are
available to chat with students in small groups or on a one-on-one basis.
This provides students with an opportunity to use Arabic in a relaxed
atmosphere and affords them additional cultural insights.

Over the course of the summer, students may enrich their cultural
experience by participating in the three optional week-end trips the
institute organizes to sites of interest. Recent destinations have included
Alexandria and Hurgada.  These trips are for three to four nights each.
There are also free weekly tours of historical and cultural sites in Cairo.

beautiful tools I have learned. I will take it all back to my school and
share it with my colleagues and make a difference in our students? lives.**"
*  - Al Sadiq, Arabic Instructor

"*Thank you for setting up such a course and thank you to all the
lecturers. I learned a lot about using technology. It was great to know
about most of the websites and how to use them. I think the most efficient
part of this course was assignments. I learned from assignments a lot.**" *
- Emre, Turkish Instructor

"*This workshop was a very meaningful experience for me, both
professionally and personally. I felt connected, engaged, and intrigued
throughout. It was a wonderful combination of transformational learning and
access to specific, highly useful strategies that I will use in my teaching.
**"** *- Shahla, Persian Instructor

"*I learned a lot from the workshop, including all available online
resources, how to incorporate technology into language class, how to use
technological tools to assess students' learning, how to engage students in
a diverse ways. The learning experience was really practical, useful,
intellectual and hands-on. The online lectures with Youtube demonstration
equipped me with solid theory and good practice. Homework feedback and
grades encourages me to continue to do well. Highly Recommended!**"** *-

Dear teachers of Arabic

I would like to know how you assess the extent to which each student
reaches the Intended Learning Objectives of each of your courses.
Most of us if not all use different methods to assess their students:
quizzes, homework, presentations, exams, essays, etc etc. but how do we
know whether or not each individual student has reached the objectives we
have stated in the syllabi or not? How can assessing ILO's be done?

best,

Subject:Formatting messages for Arabic-L

I'm sure many of you have been disappointed to see how your messages look
when they come from Arabic-L after you have spent a long time formatting
them to make them look good.  Here is the deal:

1) Arabic-L cannot post ANY attachments
2) ALL (or almost all) formatting is removed from messages before posting

This means that centering, tabs, bold, italic, will all be removed.

If you want to see how you message will look, paste it into a text only
program with no formatting (on a Mac, for example, you can open a textedit
window, change it to text only, and paste in your message).

If you want to manipulate the 'look' of your message, do it in the text
only program, using only returns and spaces.

If you are commenting on a previous message and want to include a piece of
that message, you need to overtly mark it (by hand) since the markings that
come across from your email program are almost always omitted or messed up
by the server here.

Finally, some seemingly innocuous looking messages are rejected repeatedly
by my server because they have forbidden 'hidden' characters.  I usually
try to send it with less and less of the original message until it accepts
it.  This has happened more than once recently, so if your message was
truncated, that is probably why.  Again, doing you message in a text only
program with no fancy extra codes will often take care of this problem,
unless you have some virus that is producing it.

Subject:Womens Voices Now NGO Needs some Volunteer Translation Help

Dear Arabic List,

Women?s Voices Now is a non-profit organization that seeks to empower
*all*women living in Muslim-majority societies by promoting their free
expression, thereby giving voice to the struggles for civil, economic,
political, and gender rights. We carry out our mandate by providing
internationally viewed platforms for film, art, writing, and social-media
technology.


In creating an online information clearinghouse for women?s rights
activists and supporters, going on global tours in Muslim-majority
societies, hosting a bi-annual international film festival, and our online
publication *The WVoice*, we connect people and resources striving for
these common goals.



To learn more about WVN, please visit our website:
http://www.womensvoicesnow.org.


*We are trying to expand our outreach in the Arabic-speaking world and need
an Arabic translator to translate our homepage into Arabic. It is no more
than 200 words. This would be a donation of time/skills to our work.*

*
*

*Thank you for considering this request. The text that needs translating
can be accessed here: * http://www.womensvoicesnow.org. It is mainly the
side bar and the topics (3 columns in the middle). The changing text will
remain in English.

*
*

*I hope to hear from someone!*

Subject:Arabeya Arabic Langauge Institute Spring/Summer courses

 Hello, my name is James Latta and I am from the Arabeya Arabic
Language Institute, an Arabic language school located in Cairo. I just
thought I would let you know about our school, programs, and how we can
help your students in improving their Arabic proficiency.

  At Arabeya, we offer a wide range of courses for those wishing to
learn or improve their Arabic, whether it be in Modern Standard Arabic
or in Egyptian Colloquial Arabic. We have classes and courses for every
level in proficiency, as well as programs for specific areas of
interest, such as media, diplomacy, business communications, literature,
and calligraphy.

  We also offer online spoken Arabic classes via Skype with Northeastern
students as a practical part of their semester studies at University.

  Over the years, we have had the pleasure of hosting students from
Universities all over the world including Hunter, Northeastern, Boston,
Maryland, Harvard, and Cambridge as a part of Summer Study Abroad
Programs that was designed to introduce students to the language,
culture, and history of Egypt and also host students from the ROTC.

  There are a number of seasonal programs that we run throughout the
year with discount prices, ideal for strapped for cash university
students looking for options over the semester break. These courses are
intensive, enriching the student with a great wealth of knowledge for
minimal cost and time expenditure.

With spring in full bloom and summer not far off, now is the best time
to take advantage of our intensive and effective Spring and Summer
Programs for 2013.

If you have any queries please feel free to contact us directly at:

Dear colleagues,

I'm trying to make a list of the question words in urban Arabic dialects to
introduce to my students.  Below, I have put a table with the question
words in FuSHa and Cairene.  I would be grateful if you could supply me
with the equivalents in your Arabic dialects if they differ.

???  ????

Also just to say that ?? is not used in informal cairene, please let me
know if it is used in other dialects.

Many thanks,

Subject:standalone wa- speculations

Hi Afra,

Well! `wa' seems to be a hot topic here :). From purely syntactic
perspective, as far as I know, the conjunction 'wa' in Arabic and `and' in
English seem to receive quite attention (in syntax) whether this
conjunction should be adjoined/attached to the following conjunct or not.
An example is `ConjP' (approach) which is assumed in Minimalism framework.
"ConjP" (model) assumes that the first conjunct is the specifier, the
conjunction is the head, and the second conjunct is the complement. This
view is not adopted in other frameworks, as far as I know. People, to my
knowledge, argue for the REAL syntactic position of the conjunction `and'.
 So,
having problems with  what `wa' is and how it behaves linguistically in
Arabic seems to be not an issue that is found only in Arabic, but this
issue seems to be quite common in some languages including English.  And it
is not clear where it can be placed in syntax.

An argument seems to be against what you said above is that people
sometimes lengthen particles including li... a scenario for that is as
follows (This is a discourse.)
Ali- Do you want me to tell my mom to whom you gave the flower?
????? ????  ??? ???? ????? ???????
Ahmed: No do not tell her please!
?? ?? ???? ???? ?????
Ali: Mom, Mom, Ahmad gave a flower (liiiiiiiiii) DO you want me to
complete.... (liiii
??? ? ??? ???? ???? ?????? ?????????  ????? ?????

Sometimes, we lengthen the particle including "li" or "bi" if we forget and
we want to remember and then we can say "liiii (I forget) liiii"..



>Likewise, the functions of 'wa' in speech may influence whether people
> write it as attached or as stand-alone. An example of the margins
> influencing the center or of the center directly affecting the margins?


 How can you make sure that the reason for writing `wa' as attached or
stand-alon is because of its functions? I think one of the members in the
list mentioned that sometimes people type `wa' as a stand-alone because of
the typing purposes (typing machine, etc..), so it seems that investigating
written texts do not solve the problem and based on them seems to be not
linguistically realiable, I think.

>It is clearly not just to mean 'and' -- though the difference may relate,


Do you know what "linguistic" functions this conjunction may have?

Hello all,

I am attempting to identify any Arabic style manuals (akin to the English
MLA or Chicago style manuals) or style conventions that are currently in
use for the citation of Arabic sources in Arabic works. What conventions
are currently in use for citing Arabic sources in an "Works Cited" page of
an Arabic-language workr?

On a similar note, how would you identify a "print" resource (that is,
"print" rather than "electronic")? We have been discussing the merits of
using (?????)  and (?????) and would love to hear other suggestions.

Thanks very much for any suggestions!

Dear all,

My name is Assma Al Thowaini. I am a graduate student at the Second
Language Acquisition program at the University of Maryland. Currently, I am
conducting a study to compare how native speakers and non-native Arabic
learners understand Arabic words.

If you decide to take part in this study, you would be sent a link where
you are asked to perform quick and simple decision tasks. The study will
not take longer than 30 minutes and you will be paid $7 upon completion.
You can complete the study remotely anywhere and anytime at your
convenience on a computer running Windows. I am looking for the following
criteria:

   - Advanced level of Arabic (non-native speaker)
   - Arabic experience/education of 4 years and above
   -  Age 18 and older

Your participation will be strictly confidential. I will not share your
identity or anything you provide with anyone.

Are you willing to participate?

If yes, please go to the following link to read and submit the following
form.

http://goo.gl/sHU9g

Once you submit the form, I will direct you to take a cloze test
(fill-in-the-blank task). The test will determine your Arabic level and
whether you are qualified for this study. You will receive immediate
feedback on your current Arabic proficiency level. Once you are qualified
based on your language level and background, I will email you the details
of the study.

If you have any questions or concerns about this study, feel free to
contact me at <ama2670 at gmail.com>

I greatly appreciate your help.

Sincerely,

Assma Al Thowaini

Dear colleagues,

There are several resources currently available to support elementary,
middle school, and high school (K-12) Arabic teachers, administrators,
researchers, and others with an interest in this quickly developing
field.

For example:

-- The Arabic K-12 Bulletin is a biweekly newsletter with information
about grants, web sites, resources, jobs, and other news of interest. It
is published by the National Capital Language Resource Center, and
current readership is more than 900 educators. To sign up, send an email
to arabick12 at gmail.com .

-- Teachers of Arabic Language K12 (TALK12) is an informal network for
teachers to connect, swap resouces, and see what's happening in each
other's classrooms. This group has been active since 2008. The link is
http://www.talk12.org .

-- There are regional Teachers Councils in Los Angeles, Chicago, DC, and
New England that support Arabic classroom teachers. These are funded by
Qatar Foundation International. I would be happy to put you in touch
with the facilitators of each group.

Thanks,

Steven

Summer 2013 Opportunity for Students:

Summer Intensive Language Program at the
Center for Cross Cultural Learning

The National Council, in collaboration with The Center for Cross Cultural
Learning (CCCL) for the summer of 2013, is pleased to announce its Summer
Language Program in the Kingdom of Morocco. Students will spend six weeks
in Rabat, the capital city of Morocco, taking part in intensive Arabic
language study. Students will spend four (4) hours each weekday in formal
Modern Standard Arabic classes, as well as complete out-of-the-classroom
assignments. Students at all levels of Arabic proficiency are encouraged to
apply.

CCCL is a private institution and Morocco's leading institution in study
abroad education. CCCL was founded in 1995 by Moroccan experts in cross
cultural learning and education; it is based in a 19th century Riad
(traditional Moroccan house located in a historical quarter of the city) in
the 17th century old medina of Rabat. CCCL premises have expanded as its
programs continue to attract several educational and cultural institutions
and schools to include two more buildings in and around the medina of
Rabat. CCCL offers several classrooms, conferences rooms, a cafeteria for
its participants only, a library of 4,200 books without counting the most
valuable and exclusive collection of our students' projects (over 700
projects).

CCCL organizes a variety of cultural and educational activities, which
include language courses, seminars, and lecture series on Moroccan society
and Arab and Islamic cultures. CCCL also sponsors art exhibits and musical
performances and organizes educational excursions to various parts of
Morocco both in urban and rural areas. The aim of these activities is to
provide participants with opportunities to learn from the rich cultural
diversity of Morocco and to better understand and appreciate the country's
cultural heritage. CCCL has 33 full time staff in addition to a long list
of part-time guest speakers, university lecturers, travel guides, host
families, instructors, and artists and music performers.

Hi Rasha!

These are the Hijazi Arabic equivalents (between parenthesis) for the
question words you listed:


 ???  ????

>"Also just to say that ?? is not used in informal cairene, please let me
> know if it is used in other dialects."

 To be honest, this is a difficult question whether this HAL  is used in
Hijazi Arabic or not. But my answer is that HAL is used in Hijazi Arabic
but not that common and not in every situations. The following is a
question where HAL is used by some Hijazi Arabic speakers

?? ????? ???????
Would you accept it (i.e. to be happened) to your brother?

So the question whether HAL is used or not seems to be not desirable..
Instead, the question that seems to be really good is HOW common HAL is
used and in which situational context?

Subject:Ibn Ghazi Arabic Institute in Fez

My name is Fouad Touzani and I am the director of Ibn Ghazi Arabic
Institute.  IGAI is a language, cultural and educational center located in
the historical and cultural capital of Morocco, Fez. Our summer intensive
program offers more than Arabic classes. Students at IGAI, who come from
various universities in the US and Europe, do not only enjoy learning
Arabic from native and very experienced professors (most of whom taught
Arabic in the US as Fulbright scholars) but they also have the opportunity
to:

?         Attend lectures on various issues related to the Arab and Muslim
World such as women?s rights in Islam, media in the Arab world and Islam in
the West, to name a few.

?         Take part in a variety of cultural activities and events which
allow students to get an authentic cultural experience.

?         Travel to many Moroccan cities and experience the rich and
diverse cultures and regions of Morocco.

?         Live in and explore the imperial city of Fez which remains the
biggest medieval city in the world and one of the few remaining ones.

?         Experience the wonderful beauty of the Moroccan craftsmanship
through visiting workshops and learning the basics.

I invite you to take a look at our website http://www.igai-fez.com for more
information. I also attached the brochure of the program. I will be very
grateful if you could forward the info to your students.

I will be happy to answer any question you or your students might have.

Warmest regards

Fouad

Subject:Etymolgy of zalameh query

I've been trying to find some more information on the word ????,
'man', present in quite a few modern Arabic dialects. There's
apparently an Aramaic zalamtha of the same meaning; but I haven't been
able to get past this. Qur'anic Arabic zlm 'to cut the loop of the
ear, to emaciate through hunger; arrows' obviously does not seem to be
related; nor Syriac zlm, 'to lead into error, to pervert, to be
inflected; deviated'. Is it possible that we are to imagine an
interchange between lamed and resh, and thus can see it as related to
Semitic words with initial zr-, like Akk. zaru 'begetter' and Hebrew
??? 'offspring' - also meaning 'semen' (cf. Akk. zaraqu 'sprinkle
liquid', and Heb. ???, of the same meaning)?

It has also been pointed out that, in some dialects, zalam[] has a
more specific meaning of 'pedestrian'; and it was proposed that, on
analogy with Ar. rajul (rjl 'to walk, to go by foot'), the original
meaning of zlm involves an "unknown person which came by foot," and
"[f]rom this appellation of a stranger the meaning 'man' is derived."
But this seems a bit of a stretch; plus I haven't been able to find
any other Semitic cognates with a meaning even remotely similar to
this.

Any help is appreciated!

Subject:Assessment Response

Salaam Meriem and all;

Assessment is a huge subject and it has reached and state of a science with
rules and practical processes. It is more complicated that to be addressed
in a short response. To have a general idea as a first step is to review
ACTFL 2012 guidelines. One would know approximately in which level of
proficiency to place a learner by finding out what that learner knows and
can do with the language. The process depends on the situation whether that
learner is an on-going student or one-time meeting for the purpose of
evaluation.

In your case, it is a continuum process of formative and summative
assessment with a big host of varieties in each. You may get a good idea
about the subject by reading Chapter 11 (pp.  394-448) of Shrum and
Glisan?s Teachers? Handbook, 4th edition, Heinle 2010.  You may also check
ACTFL website for more published materials:

CALL FOR PAPERS
ARABIC IN CONTEXT

Arabic in Context
Congress at Leiden University, The Netherlands
2 & 3 November 2013
http://400yearsarabic.weebly.com/arabic-in-context.html

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 congress that will bring together Arabicists,
Semiticists, historians, and epigraphists to discuss original research
on the pre- and early history of Arabic.

The papers presented at this congress will be published in a volume
commemorating this 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.

Program
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 (also via this
website) late September 2013.

Submissions & Timeline
*       Submissions on all topics dealing with the relationship between
Arabic and other the Semitic and Afro-Asiatic languages are welcome. 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
15th 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 Euro 50. Meals and drinks will be
provided for on both congress days.
Details on how to register will be on available on this website soon.

Please submit your abstracts (or questions) to the congress convener,
Dr. Ahmad Al-Jallad:

Subject:etymology of zalameh

The Syriac etymology is probably correct, but the root is S (emphatic) - L
- M. The ultimate source is probably the word S(emphatic)alma (long final
a, the mark of status emphaticus). Payne Smith, Syriac English Dictionary,
p. 480, gives the following definitions:

a) image, figure, form; a picture
b) an image on a coin
c) an image, idol
d) astron. Salma Rabba, Sagittarius

Brockelmann, Lexicon Syriacum, p. 630, adds:

4. neos. vultus, facies (i.e., Neosyriac countenance, face)
5. persona (?) (i.e., person)

The last meaning is very close to the meaning of Arabic zalameh.
Brockelmann gives the source for the meaning "persona" as J. S. Assemanus,
Bibliotheca orientalis (Rom. 1719 - 28), 1:80, 81.

The shift from S (emphatic) to z occurs in other Syriac words.

Interestingly, the original meaning of Arabic shakhS is "a body, or bodily,
or corporeal form? seen from afar" (Lane, s.v). The same semantic
development from image to individual apparently took place in Syriac and
Arabic.

The meaning of the Hebrew cognate S(emphatic)elem is similar to the primary
meaning of the Syriac/Aramaic, "image, form." The Arabic cognate apparently
is S(emphatic) - N - M, giving Sanam, idol.

A.  Barth?lemy, *Dictionnaire Arabe-Fran?ais*.  Paris  1936.  P.  318 (in
Fascicle 2) gives
the derivation as:  Bedouin "appearance, silouette, (shadow) of a person.
Also  /?alamu-/ for 'a person's shadow.  And Hebrew  /?elem/ for [French:
 'image; specter']"
     Maybe now you can provide me with the etymology of Qur'?n 112.2
 /?amad/.  Thanks,

Stewart,
I have wondered about it, too. It is 'zay' not 'za'-the velarized one that
you seem to connect to Syriac with a meaning similar to Arabic 'oppression.'

However, I think your observation of 'zalama' to walk makes total sense;
just as the root of 'rajul' means to walk.

My mind is at ease now. Thank you for pointing this out!

Subject:Webinar on Self-Efficacy in Language Learning

On behalf of the National Middle East Language Resource Center (NMELRC),
we invite you to participate in a webinar as part of Project Perseverance:

Self Efficacy in Foreign Language Learning

Dr. Nicole Mills, Harvard University

Friday, April 19, 12:00 pm Eastern Standard Time

This webinar will provide an overview of the construct of self-efficacy or
an individual?s beliefs in his/her ability to perform a designated task or
complete an activity, which is a strong predictor of future performance.
Bandura (1997) and a good deal of subsequent research suggest that
self-efficacy beliefs can influence one?s decisions, expended effort and
perseverance, resilience to adversity, thought processes, affective states,
and accomplishments. Evaluation of self-efficacy beliefs allow instructors
to better: understand their students' self-beliefs about language learning;
evaluate language program effectiveness; understand the complexity of
instructors' beliefs associated with language learning. This presentation
will provide an overview of the construct of self-efficacy in foreign
language education research, including the sources of self-efficacy, simple
strategies to guide self-efficacy research, and approaches to fostering
student and instructor self-efficacy beliefs. Specific research-based
examples will be provided with proposed adaptations based on the context,
challenges, and questions associated with the teaching of
less-commonly-taught languages.

Dr. Nicole Mills is coordinator of the Beginning French Language Program at
Harvard University and previous coordinator of beginning and intermediate
French at the University of Pennsylvania. At both institutions, she
developed curriculum grounded in second language acquisition research and
theory. She was the curriculum design specialist  for last year?s STARTALK
Persian Curriculum Design Workshop at George Washington University. She has
extensive publications in various academic journals and edited volumes on
various topics associated with curriculum design and foreign language
education, motivation, and engagement. She holds a Ph.D. in Educational
Studies and French from Emory University.

The format of the webinar will be a 60 minute live webcast followed by up
to 60 minutes of questions and answers with participants emailing in
questions and comments before and during the broadcast. This webinar will
be held at Brigham Young University and moderated by Dr. Kirk Belnap,
Director of NMELRC.

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