Arabic phonemic transcription

[Sigal Uziel-Karl]

Dear list members,



Several students of mine are in the process of collecting raw data of
spoken Palestinian Arabic. Eventually, they intend to transcribe the
data using CHAT. To do that, they would like to use broad phonemic
transcription.

In view of that, my question to the list is whether people have used
transcription to transcribe Arabic data, or know of any papers or work
which describe a set of symbols and transcription conventions suited to
transcribe data in Arabic (covering the range of consonants and vowels
and the subtleties involved in their pronunciation), and/or papers
discussing the difficulties in representing Arabic using transcription.

Any input/suggestions would be appreciated.
