Subject:JAIS, newly posted articles

The following articles have been posted at www.uib.no/jais:

1. Vol. 6: Ahmed Sokarno Abdel-Hafez. The Development of Future  
Markers in Arabic and the Nile Nubian Languages. (Adobe Acrobat 7.0  
PDF file, 169 kB, pp. 64-79). HTML Unicode version.

Abstract: This paper deals with the rise of the grammatical elements  
of simple future in the Nile Nubian languages (i.e. Kenzi and Fadicca)  
and Arabic (i.e. Stan dard Arabic and Cairene Colloquial Arabic).  
Using grammaticalization as a frame of reference, I attempt to  
determine the sources, the mechanisms and processes involved in the  
development of the grammatical elements in these languages. In  
addition, the study sheds light on the points of similarity and  
difference between these languages as far as the rise of future  
expression is concerned.

2. Vol. 7:
Zoltan Szombathy. Freedom of Expression and Censorship in Medieval  
Arabic Literature. (Adobe Acrobat 6.0 PDF file, 262 kB, pp. 1-24).  
HTML Unicode version (to be posted later).

Abstract: This article explores the restraints placed upon literary  
production in medieval Arabic literature (particularly poetry) and the  
ways in which such control was effected. After surveying the various  
ways of controlling the production of texts, which ranged from mild  
self-censorship to the actual execution of authors by state  
authorities, we will try to find general patterns in the data, with a  
special emphasis on the different treatment of lèse-religion and lèse- 
majesté respectively.
