Subject: Introduction

Dear colleagues,

I am an assistant professor of English at the University of Tunis I. My
name is Zouhair Maalej, a native speaker of Tunisian Arabic (TA). My
e-mail address is: zmaalej at gnet.tn

My interests include, among other things, Arabic rhetoric, Arabic
dialectology, contrastive rhetoric, the translation of metaphor
(English-Arabic). I have written a paper on the passive construction in
MSA and TA (forthcoming) and another one on conceptual metaphors in TA
(forthcoming). I am currently working on (i) the linguistics and
cognition of colours in TA and (ii) the translation of metaphor from TA
into English from a cognitive perspective (to be read in Tilburg next
July).

I hope to be able to exchange views with researchers having the same
interests, and I am sure that I will learn a lot from members of this
List.
