Purpose This study aims to examine the effects of using mobile translation applications for translating collocations. Design/methodology/approach The followed an experimental design where 47 students English as foreign language in a Saudi university were randomly categorized into two groups. Both groups given task consisting 30 sentences with fixed, medium-strength and weak participants group (...

This research aims to find the effect of using language patterns in teaching Arabic grammar first year undergraduates department Islamic studies at South Eastern University Sri Lanka. They learn as auxiliary subject “Basic Arabic” two semesters year. Because, they have basic knowledge about it from reciting Holy Quran and couldn’t pronounce words without shakl. According this, need various meth...

In this paper, we compare two different methods for automatic Arabic speech recognition for isolated words and sentences. Isolated word/sentence recognition was performed using cepstral feature extraction by linear predictive coding, as well as Hidden Markov Models (HMM) for pattern training and classification. We implemented a new pattern classification method, where we used Neural Networks tr...

We present in this paper, an automatic query translation system in cross-language information retrieval (ArabicFrench). For the lexical disambiguation, our system combines between two resources: a bilingual dictionary and a parallel corpus. To select the best translation, our method is based on a correspondence measure between two semantic networks. The first one represents the senses of ambigu...

We present a hybrid approach to the problem of Arabic text summarization. Our approach focuses on segment extraction and ranking using heuristic methods that assign weighted scores to segments of text. Also, we use a text categorization system and the Arabic WordNet to identify the thematic structure of the input text in order to select the most relevant sentences obtained from the statistical ...

Abstract This article examines verbal sequences in Arabic dialects which can correspond either to complex sentences with embedded clauses or predicates reduction of one the other verb. The first part is devoted where completives and subordinates purpose consequence are introduced by a marker that generally specific, but sometimes polyfunctional. second explores embedding without subordinator (w...

The past five years have seen the emergence of robust, scalable natural language processing systems that can summarize and answer questions about online material. One key to the success of such systems is that they re-use text that appeared in the documents rather than generating new sentences from scratch. Re-using text is absolutely essential for the development of robust systems; full semant...

This study diagnoses the challenges of foreign language learners in using present perfect tense when writing English. Most fail to correctly write sentences and substitute it with past tense. The researchers suggest an instructional program based on steps for teachers solve problem sample is twenty students seventh grade one government schools girls. asked participants After analysing students'...
