Abstract:

This present book studies from a dialectological perspective various African
Arabic varieties, such as Maghreb Arabic, Bongor Arabic, Juba Arabic and
Logorí Arabic. On the one hand, different specific linguistic aspects
related
to phonetics and phonology as well as to morphology, syntax and lexicology
are
discussed in this volume; e.g. the Arabic loanwords in Somali with regard to
the strata in South Arabian, the structural features of Logorì Arabic and
its
use as Lingua Franca or native language, the contact-induced innovation
processes in North African Arabic negation by analogy with Berber negation.
On
the other hand, the African Arabic theme is approached from a more general
perspective analysing the contact effects on linguistic features and systems
from a broader comparative, typological and universal viewpoint, e.g. a
general typology of Arabic in Africa, the question of possible universal
features of pidginization and creolization drawn on evidence from
Arabic-based
pidgins and creoles. Its outcomes offer important insights for all
linguistic
studies and approaches, and directly connect with other research fields such
as sociolinguistics, ethnolinguistics and language acquisition.

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if there is a description in grammars of the use of wa +
personal pronouns such as و أنا، ونحن in sentences like

وكم شعرت وأنا أشاهد ذلك الفلم القصير بالفرح
it clearly marks two events occurring simultaneously, but I was wondering
if there's been any treatment or mention of it somewhere in the literature?

Thanks,

Dana

Abstract:

This book sets out a new reconstruction for the Semitic case system. It is
based on a detailed analysis of the expression of grammatical roles and
relations in the attested Semitic languages and, for the first time, brings
typological methods to bear in the study of these features in Semitic
languages and their reconstruction for proto-Semitic. Professor Hasselbach
supports her argument with detailed analyses of a wide range of data and
presents it in a way that will be accessible to both Semitists and
typologists.

The volume is divided into seven chapters: the first discusses basic
methodologies used in Semitic linguistics and the limitations thereof. The
second presents the evidence for morphological case-marking in the
individual
Semitic languages, the conventional reconstruction of Proto-Semitic, and the
evidence which conflicts with it. The third introduces typological concepts
and methods and their deployment in Semitic. Chapter 4 considers the case
alignment of early Semitic. Chapter 5 presents a detailed study of marking
structures and patterns and considers what these reveal about the nature of
the original case system. Chapter 6 looks at the functions of case markers,
considers the light they cast on the nominal system, and shows that the
reconstruction of early Semitic as ergative is implausible. In the final
chapter the author argues that early Semitic had a different nominal system
from that of the later Semitic languages. She shows that the course of its
development has parallels in other Afroasiatic languages, including Berber
and
Cushitic. Her book sheds important new light on the history of the Semitic
languages and on the early development of the Afro-Asiatic language family
as
a whole.

Subject:wa+personal pronouns response

Dear Dana,

This is a very interesting construction, and it is usually referred to as
الحال "circumstantial adjunct clause".
The temporal relation can be simultaneity, but this is actually the
exception. The relation is that of a sub-set.
The event described in the main clause has to temporally fit within the
duration of that described in the embedded clause (even if they happ en at
the same time), but not vice versa.
You cannot have a perfective verb in the embedded clause or an achievement.
There is a discussion of that construction in my dissertation. I can
send it to you if you are interested.

Thanks,
Mustafa Mughazy

From:A Alfaifi <afaifi at hotmail.com>
Subject:wa+personal pronouns response

Of course Dana, this is well-known in Arabic traditional grammar as the
"verbal wa" [واو الحال], which means that the second sentence usually
describes the event, situation or feeling when the the first sentence was
happening.

To apply this to your sentence, the meaning would be:
"I felt happy (in the situation) when I was watching that short film".

Al-hal "الحال" is usually one word, e.g. جاء محمد مسروراً
 (Al-hal is the word: مسروراً).

However, when it come as a sentence it should be combined with this "wa"
like:
جاء محمد وهو يجري

Al-hal is the whole sentence: وهو يجري
Which desribes how the first action was happening (the way of coming).

I hope this may help, and if you still need further information, please let
me know.

Dana,

Look in Ryding's Reference Grammar of Modern Standard Arabic, pp. 284-5

and

Badawi, Carter, and Gully's Modern Written Arabic: A Comprehensive Grammar,
pp. 583-5.

I'll have to check al-Naḥw al-Wāfi to see how it is explained there.

I'll see what Sibawayhi says, too (you might find it in arabiCorpus).

In Syro-Lebanese, the order would be reversed:  انا وبتفرج

How about that?

Program

[Note that I can't attach the brochure referred to, but you can get it by
contacting Caroline at the above address --moderator]

Hello,

I write to introduce you to the new Arabic to English track in the
University of Milwaukee's Translation MA program. Beginning this fall, we
will offer an online course in introduction to Arabic to English
translation, as part of this program, all of which may be completed online.

Many students majoring or minoring in foreign languages are not sure of all
career options available to them. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
Occupational Outlook Handbook estimates that "…employment of interpreters
and translators is projected to increase 42 percent by 2020, much faster
than the average for all occupations."

Most professional translators begin training early in their careers,
focusing their undergraduate work on translation-related skills; most go on
to complete an MA in Translation or a related field before they go on to
the job market. Once they do hit the job market, it doesn’t take long
before they are gainfully employed.

UW-Milwaukee’s Graduate Program offers translation study in French to
English; German to English; English to Spanish, and Spanish to English;
Japanese to English and Arabic to English; our new Russian to English track
is set to launch in Fall 2013. Students have the option between the
24-credit graduate certificate in translation and the 30-credit Masters of
Arts with a concentration in Translation. Both can be earned in two
academic years. Translation is interdisciplinary, and the program combines
course work in other departments to allow students to pursue their area of
interest. The program is entirely online. You can like us on Facebook at
https://www.facebook.com/uwmtranslation.


Please see the attached brochure for more information.

Many thanks,

Notes for Contributors

General:  Al-cArabiyya, the journal of the American Association of Teachers
of Arabic, is a leading journal in the field of Arabic language and
linguistics.   Al-cArabiyya welcomes scholarly and pedagogical articles, as
well as book reviews that contribute to the advancement of study,
criticism, research, and teaching in the fields of Arabic language,
linguistics, and literature.

Authors are encouraged to present an original, scholarly contribution, a
perceptive restructuring of existing knowledge, or a discussion of an idea
with information and references on how to learn more about the topic.
References should be appropriately and sufficiently extensive, and
demonstrative of comprehensive awareness of international scholarship.
 Conclusions drawn should be accurate, appropriately documented, and
soundly argued, without being overextended.

The overall length of the article should be appropriate to the material
treated and should not exceed 7,000 words (no more than 25 pp. in Times New
Roman, 12 pt.).  The material should be well-organized and the writing
style fluent and professional. Articles in Arabic are welcome. We
respectfully request that authors writing in a language other than their
native language have their contribution carefully checked by a native
speaker before submission.  Do not submit a piece that has been published
elsewhere or is being considered for publication elsewhere. Authors alone
are responsible for the opinions they express and for the accuracy of facts
presented in their articles.

Each article is sent to at least two peer reviewers for anonymous
evaluation before a final decision is made regarding acceptance to the
journal. Responses and comments concerning articles published in previous
issues will also be considered for publication. Such responses may, at the
discretion of the editor, be published under “Brief Communications.”

The journal also welcomes translations and bibliographies, provided they
meet  Al- cArabiyya guidelines.  Translations should be scholarly and
accompanied by an introduction or critical essay, annotations,
commentaries, etc. Bibliographies should also be annotated, critical, and
accompanied by an appropriate introduction. Translations and bibliographies
are subject to the same review process as articles.

Book reviews, solicited by the Book Review Editor, are 500 – 1,000 words in
length (2 – 4 pp. in Times New Roman, 12 pt.).  A book review essay, not to
exceed 1,500 words in length (6 pp. in Times New Roman, 12 pt.), treats a
major work in the field as judged by the Book Review Editor.  Book review
essays are limited to one per issue.

Submission:  Manuscripts should be submitted electronically by email
attachment. Please attach both a PDF version and the original MS Word
document. Number the pages in the lower right-hand corner. The author’s
identity should not be revealed in the manuscript or electronic files;
instead, a cover sheet or the body of the email message should include: the
author’s name, address (post and email), telephone number, academic
affiliation, and the title of the article. If there are multiple authors,
please provide the above information for all contributors.

Articles will not be returned to contributors. An abstract in English of
approximately 100 to 150 words should appear at the beginning of the
article.

Typeface. Use italics only for cited linguistic forms, for titles of books
and journals, and for subsection headings. Use SMALL CAPITALS, where
essential, to give emphasis to a word, phrase, or sentence, or to mark the
first occurrence of a technical term.

Endnotes. Wherever possible, limit notes to simple and brief internal
references according to the Chicago Manual of Style, 16th edition,* within
parentheses. Endotes may be used when necessary.

Cited forms. Cited forms (letters, morphemes, words, phrases, or sentences)
should appear in italics, e.g. the prefix bi-, the word dars. Italics are
not used for forms marked as being in phonemic or phonetic transcription,
e.g. /sabt/, [sapt]. The meaning of cited forms should appear in double
quotation marks with no comma before it, e.g. walad “boy.”

References. Full citation of references should be given at the end of an
article according to the Chicago Manual of Style, 16th edition.* Within the
text, provide in-text citations according to Chicago Manual of Style, 16th
edition*.  Give the author’s surname, year of publication, and page
number(s), where relevant, e.g. Said (1978: 31). Such citations should be
given in the body of the text, unless they refer specifically to a
statement made in an endnote.

The bibliography should be double-spaced, under the heading: REFERENCES.
Only works cited in the text should be listed. Use the following examples
as a guide:

Barlow, Michael, and Charles A. Ferguson, eds. Agreement in Natural
Language:
Approaches, Theories, Descriptions. Stanford: Center for the Study of
Language and Information, 1988.
Blanc, Haim. “Stylistic Variations in Spoken Arabic: A sample of

Transliteration/Transcription. Use an accepted or conventional system for
transliteration or transcription, as appropriate, and use it consistently.
 We suggest Doulos SIL fonts (see http://scripts.sil.org/DoulosSILfont).

Proofs and copies:  Proofs of accepted manuscripts will typically be sent
to the author(s) for careful review, with the response deadline indicated.
Proofreading is the author’s responsibility. No extensive alterations are
possible once a manuscript has been accepted for publication.

Authors are responsible for obtaining written permission from the copyright
holder to quote extracts or to translate a work, and for forwarding a copy
of this permission to the editor.

Must the subject of both clauses be necessarily the same (as  in: وكم شعرت
وأنا أشاهد ذلك الفلم القصير بالفرح) or you consider the case of 2 different
subjects too (as in: وكم شعرت وهم يشاهدون ذلك الفلم القصير بالفرح)?

Subject:IBC ad for Lets Read the Arabic Newspapers

The International Book Centre has a special sale for copies of the work
"Let's Read the Arabic Newspapers," by the Arabist Howard D. Rowland, which
is designed to teach Advanced Basic and/or Intermediate (and perhaps even
Intermediate/Advanced) students of Arabic to read the daily press that
comes out in that language and to provide them with intensive practice when
engaging in this activity.
Our normal price for this volume is $45.00, but we are now offering it for
the special price of $29.95  per individually-ordered copy, and for batches
of 25 copies or more that are ordered, we will sell it to you for $24.95
per copy.
"Let's Read the Arabic Newspapers" is specially designed for the
language-learning needs of American students of Arabic--one of which the
author himself once was--and, if correctly and consistently used, should
raise the reading level of any student from that of an Advanced
Beginner/Intermediate Level student of the language to that of a student on
the Intermediate/Advanced Level.
We look forward to hearing from you and hope to supply your students with
one or more copies of this unique Arabic language-learning tool.
Sincerely,

Doris

Subject:Study on Why MS-Spell Checker for Arabic is Ineffective

Dear Member,


Study: Why Arabic MS-Office spell checker is ineffective?
 (Study in 4 pages written in Arabic -
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BxNlvHT_YuNWdjFObWJlVmJJOXc/edit?usp=sharing
)

This study shows why MS-spell checker fails to attract Arabic users. After
proofreading a document (10 pages - 3300 words in Arabic), the Arabic
 spell checker pinpoints 78 false positive errors  Thus, this reveals flaws
in  the lexical resource:
1) an unsystematic lexical coverage of the feminine and the broken plural
inflexion of nouns;
2) an arbitrary coverage of nouns and verbs with  prefixed or  suffixed
particles.

Hi, I'm looking for an Arabic proficiency assessment, ideally a short one
that could be completed in less than half an hour.  I've been searching for
awhile, but all the tests I've found are either very long or very expensive.
If anyone has any information about Arabic proficiency measures, please let
me know.
Thanks in all cases,

Subject:Routledge announces Arabiyyat al-Naas

Coming September 2013 from Routledge Language Learning
Routledge Language Learning is excited to announce the forthcoming
publication of Arabiyyat al-Naas: an exciting three-part series of Arabic
textbooks which together provide a complete three-year undergraduate
language program. Developed by an experienced and dynamic author team and
tested over a number of years at Cornell University, this pioneering series
will systematically help learners build the four language skills of
listening, speaking, reading and writing while also introducing them to
Arab culture and the history and geography of the modern Arab world.

Please continue reading for more information and to reserve your
complimentary exam copies of Arabiyyat al-Naas Part One and Part Two.


Arabiyyat al-Naas Part One
By Munther Younes, Makda Weatherspoon and Maha Foster

This book offers a groundbreaking introduction to Arabic for classroom use
and independent study. It combines a progressive and rigorous grounding in
Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), the form employed for reading, writing and
formal speaking, with an innovative integration of the spoken Levantine
variety used in everyday situations in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and
Palestine. Introducing the two simultaneously and building on shared
features, the book uses each in its proper context: Levantine for
conversations and MSA for reading and writing activities. In this way, the
course efficiently prepares students for the practical realities of
learning and "living" Arabic today.

Features include:

Theme-based units covering all the core topics expected in a first-year
Arabic course
Stimulating activities and exercises geared towards fostering active
engagement with the course
A free DVD filmed on location in Jordan, presenting over forty videos
A free companion website offering a wealth of additional instructor and
student resources
Clear explanations of grammatical structures and concepts as they occur in
the reading and listening materials
A user-friendly and vibrant text design with full colour
Songs with simple lyrics tied to the themes of the course
Arabiyyat al Naas, Part One will be an essential resource for students
beginning to learn Arabic.

Arabiyyat al-Naas Part Two
By Munther Younes and Hanada Al-Masri

Arabiyyat al Naas, Part Two offers a vibrant course in Arabic as it is
written and spoken today by educated native speakers. Not only does it
continue the innovative integration of Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and
Levantine Arabic used in Part One of the series, but it does so in a way
that supports and develops students’ increased mastery of the language.

Combining a greater focus on cultural topics with an increased coverage of
MSA, Part Two introduces more sophisticated communication, giving students
a deeper awareness of the cultural base of the Arabic language.

Features include:

Twenty-one theme-based units covering a wide range of relevant and engaging
topics, including education and learning, jobs and professions, the Arab
woman, religion, money and the economy, politics and government and the
environment
Thorough coverage of listening, speaking, writing and reading skills
Humorous, realistic dialogues reflecting everyday educated speech among
Arabs
A rich variety of reading passages, including poems, short stories,
newspaper articles, descriptions of Arab cities and biographies of famous
figures
An extensive range of appealing exercises and activities, including
crossword puzzles, root-and-pattern identification exercises, passage
completions, guided and free compositions, and songs
A free accompanying CD that includes audio recordings of the listening
materials in the 21 units
A free companion website featuring the texts of the listening passages,
sample tests, and language games
Arabiyyat al-Naas, Part Two will be an essential resource for
intermediate-level students of Arabic.

(1) GALE Arabic-English Parallel Aligned Treebank --
Newswire<http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/Catalog/CatalogEntry.jsp?catalogId=LDC2013T10>
(LDC2013T10)
was developed by LDC and contains 267,520 tokens of word aligned Arabic and
English parallel text with treebank annotations. This material was used as
training data in the DARPA GALE  (Global Autonomous Language Exploitation)
program. Parallel aligned treebanks are treebanks annotated with
morphological and syntactic structures aligned at the sentence level and
the sub-sentence level. Such data sets are useful for natural language
processing and related fields, including automatic word alignment system
training and evaluation, transfer-rule extraction, word sense
disambiguation, translation lexicon extraction and cultural heritage and
cross-linguistic studies. With respect to machine translation system
development, parallel aligned treebanks may improve system performance with
enhanced syntactic parsers, better rules and knowledge about language pairs
and reduced word error rate.****

In this release, the source Arabic data was translated into English. Arabic
and English treebank annotations were performed independently. The parallel
texts were then word aligned. The material in this corpus corresponds to
the Arabic treebanked data appearing in Arabic Treebank: Part 3 v 3.2 (
LDC2010T08<http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/Catalog/catalogEntry.jsp?catalogId=LDC2010T08>)
(ATB) and to the English treebanked data in English Translation Treebank:
An-Nahar Newswire
(LDC2012T02<http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/Catalog/catalogEntry.jsp?catalogId=LDC2012T02>
).****

The source data consists of Arabic newswire from the Lebanese publication
An Nahar collected by LDC in 2002. All data is encoded as UTF-8. A count of

The purpose of the GALE word alignment task was to find correspondences
between words, phrases or groups of words in a set of parallel texts.
Arabic-English word alignment annotation consisted of the following tasks:**
**

Identifying different types of links: translated (correct or incorrect) and
not translated (correct or incorrect)****

Identifying sentence segments not suitable for annotation, e.g., blank
segments, incorrectly-segmented segments, segments with foreign languages***
*

Tagging unmatched words attached to other words or phrases****

(2) MADCAT Phase 2 Training
Set<http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/Catalog/CatalogEntry.jsp?catalogId=LDC2013T09>
(LDC2013T09)
contains all training data created by LDC to support Phase 2 of the DARPA
MADCAT (Multilingual Automatic Document Classification Analysis and
Translation)Program. The data in this release consists of handwritten
Arabic documents, scanned at high resolution and annotated for the physical
coordinates of each line and token. Digital transcripts and English
translations of each document are also provided, with the various content
and annotation layers integrated in a single MADCAT XML output.****

The goal of the MADCAT program is to automatically convert foreign text
images into English transcripts. MADCAT Phase 2 data was collected from
Arabic source documents in three genres: newswire, weblog and newsgroup
text. Arabic speaking scribes copied documents by hand, following specific
instructions on writing style (fast, normal, careful), writing implement
(pen, pencil) and paper (lined, unlined). Prior to assignment, source
documents were processed to optimize their appearance for the handwriting
task, which resulted in some original source documents being broken into
multiple pages for handwriting. Each resulting handwritten page was
assigned to up to five independent scribes, using different writing
conditions.****

The handwritten, transcribed documents were checked for quality and
completeness, then each page was scanned at a high resolution (600 dpi,
greyscale) to create a digital version of the handwritten document. The
scanned images were then annotated to indicate the physical coordinates of
each line and token. Explicit reading order was also labeled, along with
any errors produced by the scribes when copying the text. The annotation
results in GEDI XML output files (gedi.xml), which include ground truth
annotations and source transcripts****

The final step was to produce a unified data format that takes multiple
data streams and generates a single MADCAT XML output file with all
required information. The resulting madcat.xml file has these distinct
components: (1) a text layer that consists of the source text, tokenization
and sentence segmentation, (2)  an image layer that consist of bounding
boxes, (3) a scribe demographic layer that consists of scribe ID and
partition (train/test) and (4) a document metadata layer.****

This release includes 27,814 annotation files in both GEDI XML and MADCAT
XML formats (gedi.xml and madcat.xml) along with their corresponding
scanned image files in TIFF format.****

MADCAT Phase 2 Training Set is distributed on six DVD-ROM.****

2013 Subscription Members will automatically receive two copies of this
data on disc. 2013 Standard Members may request a copy as part of their 16
free membership corpora.  Non-members may license this data for US$2500.

Subject:Multilingual Coreference Resolution Workshop

The 1st International Workshop on
Advances in Multilingual Coreference Resolution
(AMCR 2013)

We invite you to submit a paper/poster to the 1st International Workshop on
Advances in Multilingual Coreference Resolution (AMCR 2013) to be held on
September 12th/13th, 2013 at the International Conference on Recent
Advances in Natural Language Processing (RANLP 2013), Hissar, Bulgaria.

The workshop's website is available under:
http://cl.indiana.edu/~zhekova/amcr13

In the last couple of years, the interest in the area of Multilingual
Coreference Resolution (MCR) has increased immensely. Two shared tasks
(SemEval-2 Shared Task 1: Coreference Resolution in Multiple Languages in
2010 and the CoNLL Shared Task: Modeling Multilingual Unrestricted
Coreference in OntoNotes in 2012) have set an excellent benchmark by
releasing datasets for 8 different languages (SemEval: Catalan, Dutch,
English, German, Italian and Spanish; CoNLL: Arabic, Chinese and English).
Moreover, a wide range of multilingual systems have been developed within
the framework of the tasks. We see a necessity for future research on the
topic of MCR. The lack of existing workshops on the topic motivates our
attempt to provide a possibility for the researchers interested
specifically on multilinguality with respect to Coreference Resolution to
present their work and results.
The 1st International Workshop on Advances in Multilingual Coreference
Resolution (AMCR 2013) workshop will welcome both theoretical and applied
computational work regarding MCR. The submissions are expected to discuss
theories, applications, evaluation, limitations, system development and
techniques relevant to the AMCR topics. Papers that critically evaluate
approaches or existing strategies will be especially welcome, as will new
and innovative MCR system implementations. There will be a decisive focus
on multilinguality for this workshop. Thus, submitted papers should cover
at least one language other than English, preferably more.

The scope of topics includes, but is not limited, to:
* Statistical and rule-based approaches to Multilingual CR
* Availability of resources for Multilingual CR
* New resources for Multilingual CR
* CR for languages other than English
* Acquisition of world knowledge for improving Multilingual CR
* Empirical data analysis and comparison of the various annotation CR
schemes
* CR across language families
* Event coreference for MCR
* Knowledge-poor and knowledge-rich approaches to Multilingual CR
* Mention detection for entities and events for Multilingual CR
* Language specific issues within the Multilingual CR task
* Parallel corpora for CR
* Submissions

All submitted papers must present substantial, original and not yet
published research on a topic that is of interest to the AMCR workshop. The
work could include, but is not limited to, detailed analysis and evaluation
of proposed new approaches, extensive comparison of previously introduced
methods or a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art of multilingual
coreference resolution. The submissions will be assessed with respect to
their relevance to the workshop, correctness, originality, implementation
(if applicable) and significance.

The AMCR 2013 workshop, as part of the RANLP 2013 conference, will
accommodate all style requirements for submissions listed on the RANLP's
submission page. Please, use these style files, as papers that do not
conform to the requirements will not be accepted at the AMCR 2013 workshop.
The papers will undergo a blind review process, thus, authors' names,
affiliations and self-references that reveal the author's identity must be
avoided. Papers that do not conform to any of the above described
requirements will be instantly rejected.

Accepted will be the following three formats:

LONG PAPERS: This type of submissions should be no longer than eight (8)
content pages. References are not considered as content and may be included
with up to two (2) additional pages. Long papers must be presented orally
during the workshop session and will be included in the workshop
proceedings. Page limits must be strictly observed.

SHORT PAPERS: Short papers should be no longer than four (4) content pages
as well as up to two (2) additional pages of references. Short papers will
be presented as posters and will be included in the workshop proceedings.
Page limits must be strictly observed.

POSTERS: Additionally, the AMCR 2013 workshop will accept posters for the
poster session, which will not lead to a publication, but would allow the
authors to present and discuss relevant work with the workshop
participants. Poster presenters are asked to submit a half page description
of the poster.

Important Dates

Submission deadline: 3 July 2013
Notification of acceptance: 2 August 2013

Subject:TAFL Course at Netherlands-Flemish Institute in Cairo

This summer the Netherlands-Flemish Institute in Cairo is organizing a
TAFL course.
For more information on applying please visit our website:
http://www.instituten.leidenuniv.nl/nvic/onderwijs/andere-cursussen/ande
re-cursussen.html<http://www.instituten.leidenuniv.nl/nvic/onderwijs/andere-cursussen/andere-cursussen.html>

Teaching Arabic as a Foreign Language
This 5 ECTS methodological course on Teaching Arabic to non-native
speakers is a blended course that combines the practical aspects of
teaching Arabic as a Foreign Language (TAFL) with its underlying
linguistic theories.

The course will start with a theoretical background on methods of
teaching foreign languages and their underlying linguistic theories
before moving to the practical aspects of teaching the four language
skills (reading, writing, listening, and speaking). In addition, it will
focus on a number of important questions confronting the teacher of
Arabic as a foreign language:

*How to teach vocabulary and grammar?
*How to design a syllabus?
*How to write a lesson plan?
Date and Instructor
Sunday 7 July - Monday 15 July 2013 (Friday 12 July 2013: day off).

Instructor
Adel Abdelmoneim and various guest lecturers.
Goals and objectives
- To help the participants enhance their teaching skills based on recent
research on foreign language teaching.
- To familiarize participants with different approaches and methods for
teaching foreign languages in general and Arabic in particular.
- To provide participants with knowledge of key concepts and recent
discussions regarding the process of teaching Arabic to non-native
speakers.
- To familiarize the participants with strategies-based learning.
- To discuss strategies for feedback and evaluation of the various
skills in an Arabic as a Foreign Language class. - To help participants
to note the challenges that face teachers of Arabic today.
Course formula
The course will be interactive; the instructor will introduce a topic,
and the participants will discuss it based on readings and their own
teaching experiences. The course will also contain a practical part, in
which every participant will be required to teach a class in each of the
four language skills, and to design a syllabus and lesson plan for a
course of his/her choice.

The course will be taught in English and Arabic.
Participants
The course is aimed at teachers with experience in Arabic Language
teaching (especially but not exclusively in universities) who are
interested in developing their teaching skills in the framework of the
latest trends in language teaching. A BA in Arabic Studies (or similar)
is required.
Teaching Materials
The teaching materials will consist of an extensive reader that will be
distributed to the participants before the start of the course. For
every session, the participants will be required to read a number of
articles that will be discussed in class. Every participant is also
invited to bring his/her own teaching materials for discussion purposes.
Course costs
600 Euro for participants affiliated to institutions supporting the NVIC

650 Euro for non-affiliated participants

The course costs need to be paid before the start of the course.
ECTS
Each participant will receive a certificate at the end of the course.
The course equals 5 ECTS credits. If the participant wants to validate
the course at his/her home university as part of a study program, an
ECTS "transcript of Records" will be provided. Participants are
requested to check in advance with their home institutions if additional
documents are required for recognition and validation of the ECTS
records.

Subject:Needs refs on Arabic modality and modality scopes

Dear Arabic-L members,

I wonder whether there are any references on Arabic modality that
specifically study the syntactic realizations of modality scopes. I know
about:

- T. F. Mitchell and S. A. Al-Hassan. 1994. Modality, Mood and Aspect in
Spoken Arabic with Special Reference to Egypt and the Levant. London and
NY: Kegan Paul International.
- Kristen E. Brustad. 2000. The Syntax of Spoken Arabic: A Comparative
Study of Moroccan, Egyptian, Syrian and Kuwaiti Dialects. Georgetown
University Press: Washington DC, USA
- Maher Bahloul. 2008. Structure and Function of the Arabic Verb.
Routledge: UK

If there are more books or research papers that work on Arabic modality,
I'd be much grateful to know about them.

Many thanks,
Rania Al-Sabbagh, PhD Candidate
Department of Linguistics,
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Abstract:

This is a book about the use of languages as a proxy for conflict. It traces
the history of Algeria from colonization by the French in 1830 to the
celebration of 50 years of independence in 2012, and examines the linguistic
issues that have accompanied this turbulent period. The book begins with an
examination of 'language conflict' and related concepts, and then applies
them
to both the French colonists' language policies and the Arabization
campaigns
which followed independence. This is followed by an analysis of the rivalry
between the English and French languages in independent Algeria. The book
concludes with a study of the language choices made by Algerian writers and
the complex tensions which arose from these choices among intellectuals in
the
colonial and post-colonial periods.

تحياتي
المقرر المعتمد في أغلب الجامعات الأمريكية الآن هو  " الكتاب "  لمؤلفيه
محمود البطل وعباس التونسي وكرستين
كما يدرس كتاب مهدي العش الذي أطلق عليه " أهلا وسهلا "
قبل  ذلك  كانوا  يدرسون مقرر آخر  غاب اسمه  عن  ذاكرتي  ولكننا  كنا نسميه
الكتاب البرتقالي
في السعودية  هناك  مقررات  كثيرة  من  أشهرها  كتاب  العربية  للحياة
هناك  أيضا كتاب  المنظمة  العربية  للثقافة والعلوم  صدر  في  تونس
في  الأردن يوجد  سلسلة  جامعة آل البيت بعنوان  العربية  الوظيفية
هناك  مقررات  في  الجامعات  الأردنية  لم  تنشر  بعد  عبارة  عن  مصورات
منها
كتاب  الخليل  في  تعليم  العربية  للناطقين  بغيرها في جامعة العلوم
والتكنلوجيا الأردنية
والسلام  عليكم  في  جامعة  اليرموك

أعرف   عن  كتاب  يدعى  سهلويه  ولكنني  لم  أره
تحياتي
محمود

Subject:Business Arabic response

Greetings... ahalan wa sahalan...

Universities in the US with established programs for the Arabic language
apparently offer specialized courses in "business & management Arabic"
(BMA) only as advanced electives. That paucity of offerings in BMA seems
largely  due to the low and sporadic demand, plus the expansion of the
overall field of "business" into areas or applications which necessitate
building specific curricula and bilingual vocabularies applicable to the
business, profession or industry.

Best I recall, some universities which offer, or can design and conduct,
such courses include:

[1] University of Michigan, where Prof. Raji Rammuny has written a series
of textbooks on the subject, among many other topics

[2] The University of Texas at Austin, which offers a double-major degree
program in MBA and ME Studies

[3] American Graduate School of International Management, Glendale, Arizona

[4] MIIS in Monterey, CA (maybe)

When some colleagues and I designed and taught some courses in BMA on
behalf of companies involved in educating and integrating Arabic-prevalent
adults in their programs for management of technology transfers and
absorption of technologies, each course required very labor-intensive
effort to define, research, develop, and validate the course's objectives
and contents before its presentation.

Look forward to learning from other respondents about universities in the
US and Canada which offer courses in Business Arabic.

Hope this helps. Today is Thursday, May 23, 2013.

Regards,

Stephen H. Franke
San Pedro, California

In linguistic circles, التداولية  is most widely used Arabic equivalent
term for  "pragmatic".
 In my humble view  this term is must be rechecked. Hereby I request the
forum members to give whatever they think the best equivalent
As contribution from me I suggest words such as:
  الإيحائية ، المقامية

Abstract:

This present book studies from a dialectological perspective various African
Arabic varieties, such as Maghreb Arabic, Bongor Arabic, Juba Arabic and
Logor? Arabic. On the one hand, different specific linguistic aspects
related
to phonetics and phonology as well as to morphology, syntax and lexicology
are
discussed in this volume; e.g. the Arabic loanwords in Somali with regard to
the strata in South Arabian, the structural features of Logor? Arabic and
its
use as Lingua Franca or native language, the contact-induced innovation
processes in North African Arabic negation by analogy with Berber negation.
On
the other hand, the African Arabic theme is approached from a more general
perspective analysing the contact effects on linguistic features and systems
from a broader comparative, typological and universal viewpoint, e.g. a
general typology of Arabic in Africa, the question of possible universal
features of pidginization and creolization drawn on evidence from
Arabic-based
pidgins and creoles. Its outcomes offer important insights for all
linguistic
studies and approaches, and directly connect with other research fields such
as sociolinguistics, ethnolinguistics and language acquisition.

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if there is a description in grammars of the use of wa +
personal pronouns such as ? ???? ???? in sentences like

??? ???? ???? ????? ??? ????? ?????? ??????
it clearly marks two events occurring simultaneously, but I was wondering
if there's been any treatment or mention of it somewhere in the literature?

Thanks,

Dana

Abstract:

This book sets out a new reconstruction for the Semitic case system. It is
based on a detailed analysis of the expression of grammatical roles and
relations in the attested Semitic languages and, for the first time, brings
typological methods to bear in the study of these features in Semitic
languages and their reconstruction for proto-Semitic. Professor Hasselbach
supports her argument with detailed analyses of a wide range of data and
presents it in a way that will be accessible to both Semitists and
typologists.

The volume is divided into seven chapters: the first discusses basic
methodologies used in Semitic linguistics and the limitations thereof. The
second presents the evidence for morphological case-marking in the
individual
Semitic languages, the conventional reconstruction of Proto-Semitic, and the
evidence which conflicts with it. The third introduces typological concepts
and methods and their deployment in Semitic. Chapter 4 considers the case
alignment of early Semitic. Chapter 5 presents a detailed study of marking
structures and patterns and considers what these reveal about the nature of
the original case system. Chapter 6 looks at the functions of case markers,
considers the light they cast on the nominal system, and shows that the
reconstruction of early Semitic as ergative is implausible. In the final
chapter the author argues that early Semitic had a different nominal system
from that of the later Semitic languages. She shows that the course of its
development has parallels in other Afroasiatic languages, including Berber
and
Cushitic. Her book sheds important new light on the history of the Semitic
languages and on the early development of the Afro-Asiatic language family
as
a whole.

Subject:wa+personal pronouns response

Dear Dana,

This is a very interesting construction, and it is usually referred to as
????? "circumstantial adjunct clause".
The temporal relation can be simultaneity, but this is actually the
exception. The relation is that of a sub-set.
The event described in the main clause has to temporally fit within the
duration of that described in the embedded clause (even if they happ en at
the same time), but not vice versa.
You cannot have a perfective verb in the embedded clause or an achievement.
There is a discussion of that construction in my dissertation. I can
send it to you if you are interested.

Thanks,
Mustafa Mughazy

From:A Alfaifi <afaifi at hotmail.com>
Subject:wa+personal pronouns response

Of course Dana, this is well-known in Arabic traditional grammar as the
"verbal wa" [??? ?????], which means that the second sentence usually
describes the event, situation or feeling when the the first sentence was
happening.

To apply this to your sentence, the meaning would be:
"I felt happy (in the situation) when I was watching that short film".

Al-hal "?????" is usually one word, e.g. ??? ???? ???????
 (Al-hal is the word: ???????).

However, when it come as a sentence it should be combined with this "wa"
like:
??? ???? ??? ????

Al-hal is the whole sentence: ??? ????
Which desribes how the first action was happening (the way of coming).

I hope this may help, and if you still need further information, please let
me know.

Dana,

Look in Ryding's Reference Grammar of Modern Standard Arabic, pp. 284-5

and

Badawi, Carter, and Gully's Modern Written Arabic: A Comprehensive Grammar,
pp. 583-5.

I'll have to check al-Na?w al-W?fi to see how it is explained there.

I'll see what Sibawayhi says, too (you might find it in arabiCorpus).

In Syro-Lebanese, the order would be reversed:  ??? ??????

How about that?

Program

[Note that I can't attach the brochure referred to, but you can get it by
contacting Caroline at the above address --moderator]

Hello,

I write to introduce you to the new Arabic to English track in the
University of Milwaukee's Translation MA program. Beginning this fall, we
will offer an online course in introduction to Arabic to English
translation, as part of this program, all of which may be completed online.

Many students majoring or minoring in foreign languages are not sure of all
career options available to them. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
Occupational Outlook Handbook estimates that "?employment of interpreters
and translators is projected to increase 42 percent by 2020, much faster
than the average for all occupations."

Most professional translators begin training early in their careers,
focusing their undergraduate work on translation-related skills; most go on
to complete an MA in Translation or a related field before they go on to
the job market. Once they do hit the job market, it doesn?t take long
before they are gainfully employed.

UW-Milwaukee?s Graduate Program offers translation study in French to
English; German to English; English to Spanish, and Spanish to English;
Japanese to English and Arabic to English; our new Russian to English track
is set to launch in Fall 2013. Students have the option between the
24-credit graduate certificate in translation and the 30-credit Masters of
Arts with a concentration in Translation. Both can be earned in two
academic years. Translation is interdisciplinary, and the program combines
course work in other departments to allow students to pursue their area of
interest. The program is entirely online. You can like us on Facebook at
https://www.facebook.com/uwmtranslation.


Please see the attached brochure for more information.

Many thanks,

Notes for Contributors

General:  Al-cArabiyya, the journal of the American Association of Teachers
of Arabic, is a leading journal in the field of Arabic language and
linguistics.   Al-cArabiyya welcomes scholarly and pedagogical articles, as
well as book reviews that contribute to the advancement of study,
criticism, research, and teaching in the fields of Arabic language,
linguistics, and literature.

Authors are encouraged to present an original, scholarly contribution, a
perceptive restructuring of existing knowledge, or a discussion of an idea
with information and references on how to learn more about the topic.
References should be appropriately and sufficiently extensive, and
demonstrative of comprehensive awareness of international scholarship.
 Conclusions drawn should be accurate, appropriately documented, and
soundly argued, without being overextended.

The overall length of the article should be appropriate to the material
treated and should not exceed 7,000 words (no more than 25 pp. in Times New
Roman, 12 pt.).  The material should be well-organized and the writing
style fluent and professional. Articles in Arabic are welcome. We
respectfully request that authors writing in a language other than their
native language have their contribution carefully checked by a native
speaker before submission.  Do not submit a piece that has been published
elsewhere or is being considered for publication elsewhere. Authors alone
are responsible for the opinions they express and for the accuracy of facts
presented in their articles.

Each article is sent to at least two peer reviewers for anonymous
evaluation before a final decision is made regarding acceptance to the
journal. Responses and comments concerning articles published in previous
issues will also be considered for publication. Such responses may, at the
discretion of the editor, be published under ?Brief Communications.?

The journal also welcomes translations and bibliographies, provided they
meet  Al- cArabiyya guidelines.  Translations should be scholarly and
accompanied by an introduction or critical essay, annotations,
commentaries, etc. Bibliographies should also be annotated, critical, and
accompanied by an appropriate introduction. Translations and bibliographies
are subject to the same review process as articles.

Book reviews, solicited by the Book Review Editor, are 500 ? 1,000 words in
length (2 ? 4 pp. in Times New Roman, 12 pt.).  A book review essay, not to
exceed 1,500 words in length (6 pp. in Times New Roman, 12 pt.), treats a
major work in the field as judged by the Book Review Editor.  Book review
essays are limited to one per issue.

Submission:  Manuscripts should be submitted electronically by email
attachment. Please attach both a PDF version and the original MS Word
document. Number the pages in the lower right-hand corner. The author?s
identity should not be revealed in the manuscript or electronic files;
instead, a cover sheet or the body of the email message should include: the
author?s name, address (post and email), telephone number, academic
affiliation, and the title of the article. If there are multiple authors,
please provide the above information for all contributors.

Articles will not be returned to contributors. An abstract in English of
approximately 100 to 150 words should appear at the beginning of the
article.

Typeface. Use italics only for cited linguistic forms, for titles of books
and journals, and for subsection headings. Use SMALL CAPITALS, where
essential, to give emphasis to a word, phrase, or sentence, or to mark the
first occurrence of a technical term.

Endnotes. Wherever possible, limit notes to simple and brief internal
references according to the Chicago Manual of Style, 16th edition,* within
parentheses. Endotes may be used when necessary.

Cited forms. Cited forms (letters, morphemes, words, phrases, or sentences)
should appear in italics, e.g. the prefix bi-, the word dars. Italics are
not used for forms marked as being in phonemic or phonetic transcription,
e.g. /sabt/, [sapt]. The meaning of cited forms should appear in double
quotation marks with no comma before it, e.g. walad ?boy.?

References. Full citation of references should be given at the end of an
article according to the Chicago Manual of Style, 16th edition.* Within the
text, provide in-text citations according to Chicago Manual of Style, 16th
edition*.  Give the author?s surname, year of publication, and page
number(s), where relevant, e.g. Said (1978: 31). Such citations should be
given in the body of the text, unless they refer specifically to a
statement made in an endnote.

The bibliography should be double-spaced, under the heading: REFERENCES.
Only works cited in the text should be listed. Use the following examples
as a guide:

Barlow, Michael, and Charles A. Ferguson, eds. Agreement in Natural
Language:
Approaches, Theories, Descriptions. Stanford: Center for the Study of
Language and Information, 1988.
Blanc, Haim. ?Stylistic Variations in Spoken Arabic: A sample of

transliteration or transcription, as appropriate, and use it consistently.
 We suggest Doulos SIL fonts (see http://scripts.sil.org/DoulosSILfont).

Proofs and copies:  Proofs of accepted manuscripts will typically be sent
to the author(s) for careful review, with the response deadline indicated.
Proofreading is the author?s responsibility. No extensive alterations are
possible once a manuscript has been accepted for publication.

Authors are responsible for obtaining written permission from the copyright
holder to quote extracts or to translate a work, and for forwarding a copy
of this permission to the editor.

Must the subject of both clauses be necessarily the same (as  in: ??? ????

Subject:IBC ad for Lets Read the Arabic Newspapers

The International Book Centre has a special sale for copies of the work
"Let's Read the Arabic Newspapers," by the Arabist Howard D. Rowland, which
is designed to teach Advanced Basic and/or Intermediate (and perhaps even
Intermediate/Advanced) students of Arabic to read the daily press that
comes out in that language and to provide them with intensive practice when
engaging in this activity.
Our normal price for this volume is $45.00, but we are now offering it for
the special price of $29.95  per individually-ordered copy, and for batches
of 25 copies or more that are ordered, we will sell it to you for $24.95
per copy.
"Let's Read the Arabic Newspapers" is specially designed for the
language-learning needs of American students of Arabic--one of which the
author himself once was--and, if correctly and consistently used, should
raise the reading level of any student from that of an Advanced
Beginner/Intermediate Level student of the language to that of a student on
the Intermediate/Advanced Level.
We look forward to hearing from you and hope to supply your students with
one or more copies of this unique Arabic language-learning tool.
Sincerely,

Doris

Subject:Study on Why MS-Spell Checker for Arabic is Ineffective

Dear Member,


Study: Why Arabic MS-Office spell checker is ineffective?
 (Study in 4 pages written in Arabic -
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BxNlvHT_YuNWdjFObWJlVmJJOXc/edit?usp=sharing
)

This study shows why MS-spell checker fails to attract Arabic users. After
proofreading a document (10 pages - 3300 words in Arabic), the Arabic
 spell checker pinpoints 78 false positive errors  Thus, this reveals flaws
in  the lexical resource:
1) an unsystematic lexical coverage of the feminine and the broken plural
inflexion of nouns;
2) an arbitrary coverage of nouns and verbs with  prefixed or  suffixed
particles.

Subject:Needs Short Arabic Proficiency Test

Hi, I'm looking for an Arabic proficiency assessment, ideally a short one
that could be completed in less than half an hour.  I've been searching for
awhile, but all the tests I've found are either very long or very expensive.
If anyone has any information about Arabic proficiency measures, please let
me know.
Thanks in all cases,

formal speaking, with an innovative integration of the spoken Levantine
variety used in everyday situations in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and
Palestine. Introducing the two simultaneously and building on shared
features, the book uses each in its proper context: Levantine for
conversations and MSA for reading and writing activities. In this way, the
course efficiently prepares students for the practical realities of
learning and "living" Arabic today.

Features include:

Theme-based units covering all the core topics expected in a first-year
Arabic course
Stimulating activities and exercises geared towards fostering active
engagement with the course
A free DVD filmed on location in Jordan, presenting over forty videos
A free companion website offering a wealth of additional instructor and
student resources
Clear explanations of grammatical structures and concepts as they occur in
the reading and listening materials
A user-friendly and vibrant text design with full colour
Songs with simple lyrics tied to the themes of the course
Arabiyyat al Naas, Part One will be an essential resource for students
beginning to learn Arabic.

Arabiyyat al Naas, Part Two offers a vibrant course in Arabic as it is
written and spoken today by educated native speakers. Not only does it
continue the innovative integration of Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and
Levantine Arabic used in Part One of the series, but it does so in a way
that supports and develops students? increased mastery of the language.

Combining a greater focus on cultural topics with an increased coverage of
MSA, Part Two introduces more sophisticated communication, giving students
a deeper awareness of the cultural base of the Arabic language.

(1) GALE Arabic-English Parallel Aligned Treebank --
Newswire<http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/Catalog/CatalogEntry.jsp?catalogId=LDC2013T10>
(LDC2013T10)
was developed by LDC and contains 267,520 tokens of word aligned Arabic and
English parallel text with treebank annotations. This material was used as
training data in the DARPA GALE  (Global Autonomous Language Exploitation)
program. Parallel aligned treebanks are treebanks annotated with
morphological and syntactic structures aligned at the sentence level and
the sub-sentence level. Such data sets are useful for natural language
processing and related fields, including automatic word alignment system
training and evaluation, transfer-rule extraction, word sense
disambiguation, translation lexicon extraction and cultural heritage and
cross-linguistic studies. With respect to machine translation system
development, parallel aligned treebanks may improve system performance with
enhanced syntactic parsers, better rules and knowledge about language pairs
and reduced word error rate.****

In this release, the source Arabic data was translated into English. Arabic
and English treebank annotations were performed independently. The parallel
texts were then word aligned. The material in this corpus corresponds to
the Arabic treebanked data appearing in Arabic Treebank: Part 3 v 3.2 (
LDC2010T08<http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/Catalog/catalogEntry.jsp?catalogId=LDC2010T08>)
(ATB) and to the English treebanked data in English Translation Treebank:
An-Nahar Newswire
(LDC2012T02<http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/Catalog/catalogEntry.jsp?catalogId=LDC2012T02>
).****

The source data consists of Arabic newswire from the Lebanese publication
An Nahar collected by LDC in 2002. All data is encoded as UTF-8. A count of

The purpose of the GALE word alignment task was to find correspondences
between words, phrases or groups of words in a set of parallel texts.
Arabic-English word alignment annotation consisted of the following tasks:**
**

Identifying different types of links: translated (correct or incorrect) and
not translated (correct or incorrect)****

Identifying sentence segments not suitable for annotation, e.g., blank
segments, incorrectly-segmented segments, segments with foreign languages***
*

Tagging unmatched words attached to other words or phrases****

(2) MADCAT Phase 2 Training
Set<http://www.ldc.upenn.edu/Catalog/CatalogEntry.jsp?catalogId=LDC2013T09>
(LDC2013T09)
contains all training data created by LDC to support Phase 2 of the DARPA
MADCAT (Multilingual Automatic Document Classification Analysis and
Translation)Program. The data in this release consists of handwritten
Arabic documents, scanned at high resolution and annotated for the physical
coordinates of each line and token. Digital transcripts and English
translations of each document are also provided, with the various content
and annotation layers integrated in a single MADCAT XML output.****

The goal of the MADCAT program is to automatically convert foreign text
images into English transcripts. MADCAT Phase 2 data was collected from
Arabic source documents in three genres: newswire, weblog and newsgroup
text. Arabic speaking scribes copied documents by hand, following specific
instructions on writing style (fast, normal, careful), writing implement
(pen, pencil) and paper (lined, unlined). Prior to assignment, source
documents were processed to optimize their appearance for the handwriting
task, which resulted in some original source documents being broken into
multiple pages for handwriting. Each resulting handwritten page was
assigned to up to five independent scribes, using different writing
conditions.****

The handwritten, transcribed documents were checked for quality and
completeness, then each page was scanned at a high resolution (600 dpi,
greyscale) to create a digital version of the handwritten document. The
scanned images were then annotated to indicate the physical coordinates of
each line and token. Explicit reading order was also labeled, along with
any errors produced by the scribes when copying the text. The annotation
results in GEDI XML output files (gedi.xml), which include ground truth
annotations and source transcripts****

The final step was to produce a unified data format that takes multiple
data streams and generates a single MADCAT XML output file with all
required information. The resulting madcat.xml file has these distinct
components: (1) a text layer that consists of the source text, tokenization
and sentence segmentation, (2)  an image layer that consist of bounding
boxes, (3) a scribe demographic layer that consists of scribe ID and
partition (train/test) and (4) a document metadata layer.****

This release includes 27,814 annotation files in both GEDI XML and MADCAT
XML formats (gedi.xml and madcat.xml) along with their corresponding
scanned image files in TIFF format.****

MADCAT Phase 2 Training Set is distributed on six DVD-ROM.****

2013 Subscription Members will automatically receive two copies of this
data on disc. 2013 Standard Members may request a copy as part of their 16
free membership corpora.  Non-members may license this data for US$2500.

Subject:Multilingual Coreference Resolution Workshop

The 1st International Workshop on
Advances in Multilingual Coreference Resolution
(AMCR 2013)

We invite you to submit a paper/poster to the 1st International Workshop on
Advances in Multilingual Coreference Resolution (AMCR 2013) to be held on
September 12th/13th, 2013 at the International Conference on Recent
Advances in Natural Language Processing (RANLP 2013), Hissar, Bulgaria.

The workshop's website is available under:
http://cl.indiana.edu/~zhekova/amcr13

In the last couple of years, the interest in the area of Multilingual
Coreference Resolution (MCR) has increased immensely. Two shared tasks
(SemEval-2 Shared Task 1: Coreference Resolution in Multiple Languages in
2010 and the CoNLL Shared Task: Modeling Multilingual Unrestricted
Coreference in OntoNotes in 2012) have set an excellent benchmark by
releasing datasets for 8 different languages (SemEval: Catalan, Dutch,
English, German, Italian and Spanish; CoNLL: Arabic, Chinese and English).
Moreover, a wide range of multilingual systems have been developed within
the framework of the tasks. We see a necessity for future research on the
topic of MCR. The lack of existing workshops on the topic motivates our
attempt to provide a possibility for the researchers interested
specifically on multilinguality with respect to Coreference Resolution to
present their work and results.
The 1st International Workshop on Advances in Multilingual Coreference
Resolution (AMCR 2013) workshop will welcome both theoretical and applied
computational work regarding MCR. The submissions are expected to discuss
theories, applications, evaluation, limitations, system development and
techniques relevant to the AMCR topics. Papers that critically evaluate
approaches or existing strategies will be especially welcome, as will new
and innovative MCR system implementations. There will be a decisive focus
on multilinguality for this workshop. Thus, submitted papers should cover
at least one language other than English, preferably more.

The scope of topics includes, but is not limited, to:
* Statistical and rule-based approaches to Multilingual CR
* Availability of resources for Multilingual CR
* New resources for Multilingual CR
* CR for languages other than English
* Acquisition of world knowledge for improving Multilingual CR
* Empirical data analysis and comparison of the various annotation CR
schemes
* CR across language families
* Event coreference for MCR
* Knowledge-poor and knowledge-rich approaches to Multilingual CR
* Mention detection for entities and events for Multilingual CR
* Language specific issues within the Multilingual CR task
* Parallel corpora for CR
* Submissions

All submitted papers must present substantial, original and not yet
published research on a topic that is of interest to the AMCR workshop. The
work could include, but is not limited to, detailed analysis and evaluation
of proposed new approaches, extensive comparison of previously introduced
methods or a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art of multilingual
coreference resolution. The submissions will be assessed with respect to
their relevance to the workshop, correctness, originality, implementation
(if applicable) and significance.

The AMCR 2013 workshop, as part of the RANLP 2013 conference, will
accommodate all style requirements for submissions listed on the RANLP's
submission page. Please, use these style files, as papers that do not
conform to the requirements will not be accepted at the AMCR 2013 workshop.
The papers will undergo a blind review process, thus, authors' names,
affiliations and self-references that reveal the author's identity must be
avoided. Papers that do not conform to any of the above described
requirements will be instantly rejected.

Accepted will be the following three formats:

LONG PAPERS: This type of submissions should be no longer than eight (8)
content pages. References are not considered as content and may be included
with up to two (2) additional pages. Long papers must be presented orally
during the workshop session and will be included in the workshop
proceedings. Page limits must be strictly observed.

SHORT PAPERS: Short papers should be no longer than four (4) content pages
as well as up to two (2) additional pages of references. Short papers will
be presented as posters and will be included in the workshop proceedings.
Page limits must be strictly observed.

POSTERS: Additionally, the AMCR 2013 workshop will accept posters for the
poster session, which will not lead to a publication, but would allow the
authors to present and discuss relevant work with the workshop
participants. Poster presenters are asked to submit a half page description
of the poster.

Important Dates

Submission deadline: 3 July 2013
Notification of acceptance: 2 August 2013

Subject:TAFL Course at Netherlands-Flemish Institute in Cairo

This summer the Netherlands-Flemish Institute in Cairo is organizing a
TAFL course.
For more information on applying please visit our website:
http://www.instituten.leidenuniv.nl/nvic/onderwijs/andere-cursussen/ande
re-cursussen.html<http://www.instituten.leidenuniv.nl/nvic/onderwijs/andere-cursussen/andere-cursussen.html>

Teaching Arabic as a Foreign Language
This 5 ECTS methodological course on Teaching Arabic to non-native
speakers is a blended course that combines the practical aspects of
teaching Arabic as a Foreign Language (TAFL) with its underlying
linguistic theories.

The course will start with a theoretical background on methods of
teaching foreign languages and their underlying linguistic theories
before moving to the practical aspects of teaching the four language
skills (reading, writing, listening, and speaking). In addition, it will
focus on a number of important questions confronting the teacher of
Arabic as a foreign language:

*How to teach vocabulary and grammar?
*How to design a syllabus?
*How to write a lesson plan?
Date and Instructor
Sunday 7 July - Monday 15 July 2013 (Friday 12 July 2013: day off).

Instructor
Adel Abdelmoneim and various guest lecturers.
Goals and objectives
- To help the participants enhance their teaching skills based on recent
research on foreign language teaching.
- To familiarize participants with different approaches and methods for
teaching foreign languages in general and Arabic in particular.
- To provide participants with knowledge of key concepts and recent
discussions regarding the process of teaching Arabic to non-native
speakers.
- To familiarize the participants with strategies-based learning.
- To discuss strategies for feedback and evaluation of the various
skills in an Arabic as a Foreign Language class. - To help participants
to note the challenges that face teachers of Arabic today.
Course formula
The course will be interactive; the instructor will introduce a topic,
and the participants will discuss it based on readings and their own
teaching experiences. The course will also contain a practical part, in
which every participant will be required to teach a class in each of the
four language skills, and to design a syllabus and lesson plan for a
course of his/her choice.

The course will be taught in English and Arabic.
Participants
The course is aimed at teachers with experience in Arabic Language
teaching (especially but not exclusively in universities) who are
interested in developing their teaching skills in the framework of the
latest trends in language teaching. A BA in Arabic Studies (or similar)
is required.
Teaching Materials
The teaching materials will consist of an extensive reader that will be
distributed to the participants before the start of the course. For
every session, the participants will be required to read a number of
articles that will be discussed in class. Every participant is also
invited to bring his/her own teaching materials for discussion purposes.
Course costs
600 Euro for participants affiliated to institutions supporting the NVIC

650 Euro for non-affiliated participants

The course costs need to be paid before the start of the course.
ECTS
Each participant will receive a certificate at the end of the course.
The course equals 5 ECTS credits. If the participant wants to validate
the course at his/her home university as part of a study program, an
ECTS "transcript of Records" will be provided. Participants are
requested to check in advance with their home institutions if additional
documents are required for recognition and validation of the ECTS
records.

Subject:Needs refs on Arabic modality and modality scopes

Dear Arabic-L members,

I wonder whether there are any references on Arabic modality that
specifically study the syntactic realizations of modality scopes. I know
about:

- T. F. Mitchell and S. A. Al-Hassan. 1994. Modality, Mood and Aspect in
Spoken Arabic with Special Reference to Egypt and the Levant. London and
NY: Kegan Paul International.
- Kristen E. Brustad. 2000. The Syntax of Spoken Arabic: A Comparative
Study of Moroccan, Egyptian, Syrian and Kuwaiti Dialects. Georgetown
University Press: Washington DC, USA
- Maher Bahloul. 2008. Structure and Function of the Arabic Verb.
Routledge: UK

If there are more books or research papers that work on Arabic modality,
I'd be much grateful to know about them.

Many thanks,
Rania Al-Sabbagh, PhD Candidate
Department of Linguistics,
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Abstract:

This is a book about the use of languages as a proxy for conflict. It traces
the history of Algeria from colonization by the French in 1830 to the
celebration of 50 years of independence in 2012, and examines the linguistic
issues that have accompanied this turbulent period. The book begins with an
examination of 'language conflict' and related concepts, and then applies
them
to both the French colonists' language policies and the Arabization
campaigns
which followed independence. This is followed by an analysis of the rivalry
between the English and French languages in independent Algeria. The book
concludes with a study of the language choices made by Algerian writers and
the complex tensions which arose from these choices among intellectuals in
the
colonial and post-colonial periods.

Subject:Business Arabic response

Greetings... ahalan wa sahalan...

Universities in the US with established programs for the Arabic language
apparently offer specialized courses in "business & management Arabic"
(BMA) only as advanced electives. That paucity of offerings in BMA seems
largely  due to the low and sporadic demand, plus the expansion of the
overall field of "business" into areas or applications which necessitate
building specific curricula and bilingual vocabularies applicable to the
business, profession or industry.

Best I recall, some universities which offer, or can design and conduct,
such courses include:

[1] University of Michigan, where Prof. Raji Rammuny has written a series
of textbooks on the subject, among many other topics

[2] The University of Texas at Austin, which offers a double-major degree
program in MBA and ME Studies

[3] American Graduate School of International Management, Glendale, Arizona

[4] MIIS in Monterey, CA (maybe)

When some colleagues and I designed and taught some courses in BMA on
behalf of companies involved in educating and integrating Arabic-prevalent
adults in their programs for management of technology transfers and
absorption of technologies, each course required very labor-intensive
effort to define, research, develop, and validate the course's objectives
and contents before its presentation.

Look forward to learning from other respondents about universities in the
US and Canada which offer courses in Business Arabic.

Hope this helps. Today is Thursday, May 23, 2013.

Regards,

Stephen H. Franke
San Pedro, California

In linguistic circles, ?????????  is most widely used Arabic equivalent
term for  "pragmatic".
 In my humble view  this term is must be rechecked. Hereby I request the
forum members to give whatever they think the best equivalent
As contribution from me I suggest words such as:
