[Corpora-List] PLEASE help me with an Arabic corpus

[Eric Atwell]

Yousef,

The Language research group in the School of Computing at Leeds University 
has an ongoing interest in corpus-based research on Arabic, see
http://www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/arabic

This includes links to a number of freely-downloadable resources:

An Arabic corpus, the Corpus of Contemporary Arabic;

An open-source concordance tool for analysis of Arabic texts, aConCorde;

Publications on Arabic computing by Leeds University researchers;

And, of course, "Postgraduate degrees by research - how to apply" ;-)

Enjoy!

Eric Atwell, Leeds University
