We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Dear Colleagues:

I am in the process of doing a comprehensive review of research on
Arabic Language Pathologies for the Encyclopedia of Arabic Language
and Linguistics. Any references, suggestions, citations, etc., that I
should not overlook would be most appreciated. Please send info to me
directly at sabahsafi at hotmail.com. Many thanks,

I wonder if any computational linguists have looked at the issues
involved in the plagiarism detection techniques utilized by some of
the commercial plagiarism detection sites.

Thank you.
